Wikia's staff later removed his admin rights, in fear that he might harm the wiki, and later [[block]]ed him for protesting against this. He then founded the new Wikisimpsons on [[:Category:ShoutWiki|ShoutWiki]], and the wiki was moved there, with most of the active community moving along with him. | ||
After a few months on ShoutWiki, Solar Dragon was given an offer to move Wikisimpsons, to become an independent wiki. After opening up a discussion about it, it was decided that the wiki would stay on ShoutWiki. However, a few months later, a new discussion was opened, and it was decided that the wiki would become independent, with Solar Dragon becoming the 'Head Admin' on the independent Wikisimpsons. | After a few months on ShoutWiki, Solar Dragon was given an offer to move Wikisimpsons, to become an independent wiki.
