A while back, I announced that WOTS4 was in development, in fact it went into development late 2011. So it's been a while. I've wanted to launch it for a while, but I never really saw much point because for most part, it'd just go unnoticed by a community that's moved on.
I've moved on to other things too. I'm spending more time at Simple Machines developing some front end stuff for that new site overhaul, which includes a new Customisation Site. Then there's also the Final Year Dissertation that I recently submitted for marking, and the Youtube Content I've been uploading.
The question I put out is should I work on WOTS4, finish it, and launch it and then never work on a Simpsons site again. The community has moved on, and the chances of any new Simpsons Fan Sites in the internet world of Social Media popping up is slim to none.

Maggie wants you for WOTS4!
Okay, maybe facts need to be faced I really don't have much hope anymore of getting all the info ported from the resources I had in WOTS2 and 3 into WOTS4 without some help. So I'm putting this journal out to hopefully get some.
I don't care if you don't know how to code, you don't need to, most of the site is database driven now, so I'll develop data entry forms. I don't care if you don't know how to do images, for most part they're not necessary, but I can teach where needed.
If anyone is willing to help out, I'd appreciate it and all that needs to be done is to contact me.
Tentative release for WOTS4
September 2015.
But don't hold me to that.
Bonus: Do SimpFant things and send them to me for previews! :P
Line Differences between WOTS2, 3 and 4.
I've been working away on the code for WOTS4, and I figure that some may want to see how my code has improved since I started with WOTS back with WOTS2. (I don't count WOTS1 because it was so crap)
And here we go, as far as I'm concerned the more I can do with less code, the better.
The reason scenes.php was so large in WOTS2 is because it was intended to support viewing the site in TCB or LTBQ so it had to detect them.
editorials.php does work in WOTS3, but was never announced onto the site proper, you can access it like you would any other: http://babysimpson.co.uk/index.php?action=editorials
Another HDD problem?
Yup, this is a repeat of something I posted about 2 years ago with a HDD going belly-up. This time around it's not as serious, though still an issue. Last time, the drive refused to spin after suffering some fall damage that cost nearly £500 to get the data back. I rearranged my entire setup for it but that doesn't mean I'm immune to harddrive failures. In fact, another one failed recently, but that was replaceable since I had the data backed up.
Here, I do not because the drive was too big. Because the drives that's having the issues is my Movies drive which contains my Lets Plays and that's how I earn a lot of the money I've been gett

This may not surprise you Gary, but I still visit your site from time to time. So my answer would be yes, I would like to see WOTS4 released, but only if you feel it is worth it
I still advertise your WOTS web address on my blog sites and here in my groups.
