The wiki was founded by Postbagboy (aka 'Post') on 24 September [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] on the commercial wiki farm [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]. Post left before he even made a single main-space [[edit]]. Since then, the wiki went through several transformations, getting a new [[:Category:Skins|skin]] in the beginning of 2010, as well as a new team of [[Sysop|admins]]. | The wiki was founded by Postbagboy (aka 'Post') on 24 September [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] on the commercial wiki farm [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]].

On 24 September {{tag| | On 24 September {{tag|Founded in 2010|2010}}, Wikisimpsons had its fifth [[Wiki birthday|birthday]]. In October of that same year, a decision was made to split away, or {{tag|fork}} from {{tag|Ex-Wikia|Wikia}} for a new non-commercial wiki farm, {{tag|ShoutWiki}}. This was due to a new [[:Category:Wikia skin|skin released by Wikia]], and subsequent arguments with the staff. [[Solar Dragon]] became the [[founder]] and [[steward]] of this new wiki. | ||
In June 2011, Wikisimpsons completed its move to {{tag|Ex-Wikia|independence}}. It now runs on {{tag|MediaWiki}} with a nice {{tag|custom skin}}. It has since grown very quickly, now beating its Wikia competitor by over 10,000 articles. This independent wiki is funded by way of {{tag|advertising}} from {{tag|GoogleAds}}. | In June 2011, Wikisimpsons completed its move to {{tag|Ex-Wikia|independence}}.
