History
For those of you interested, Simpson Trivia started out as a group on MSN in
2003. One day, Belgian_Witch (Who would later on change her nickname to
Rainbowstar_Belgianwitch, and then just Rainbowstar), was very bored during
the summer holiday, and decided to join the MSN chatrooms. The lack of a
Simpson chatroom appalled her and her friend David so she decided to make
one (Well, I decided to make one...me being Rainbowstar...I get
uncomfortable writing about myself in the third person, hehe).
In it we played a game called Simpson Trivia, which was basically just
people asking questions about the Simpsons to each other. A while later
Boyish_Pluto, one of our regular visitors of the chatroom back then,
suggested that we might make a group linked to the chatroom. That way we
could post the schedule of when I'd be on to create it, and just generally
keep in touch. So he did it for me (thanks very much!) and we went on from
there. Another member, Gnasher, made a bot for the chatroom, who could ask
the questions when there weren't enough people to play the game amongst
ourselves.
When the chatrooms closed, we moved the chat to the group, as there was a
chatroom there as well. Nimbus took over the bot and helped me with various
technical things. I also decided to put a bit more info about the Simpsons
on the group, so that it wouldn't be so boring. The visitors to the
chatroom stopped coming though...there aren't many anymore, but yet I took
over the bot from Nimbus in the hopes that people might come.
Eventually the information on the group became so much that it was very
chaotic. The structure of the group was exactly like I wanted it, but the
pages couldn't hold enough info, so I found myself having to split some
pages in two or more parts. People were also telling me that I would
attract more people if I moved away from MSN Groups but made it a real
website in stead. Lovemonkey provided the domain name and web space, and
voila, Simpson Trivia the website was born. The chatroom is still there,
but now on IRC, the forum has been changed for another, more easily to
manage, and the picture gallery is still open, it's the same as the group.
We
hope you enjoy our site. This is not just my work, but that of others as
well. Any member can suggest something and then we will try and see if we
can use it and if so, how we can put it on the site. There are several
lists as well that are made solely by additions of members. We hope to keep
it that way, and that our members are happy to help us out. Thank you,
please come again! |
