By now you probably all have seen the survey system i installed on the episodes. I really hate to do something like this but there is really no other way this website can make the money necceasary to pay for its operation and ive spent way to much time to let it be turned off. For example, since the sites creation, I have had to upgrade the server and hosting account 4 times. And that is just in a little over 5 months!!
Just Remember, After you complete 1 survey, you have access to every episode for ever and you should never see a survey popup again. I will enable this for a very short period of time each month so I can generate the money necessary to upgrade and pay for a dedicated server as well as pay for SEO. This will help in so many ways from loading the videos faster to extra security.
FEEL FREE TO LIE ABOUT YOUR AGE ON THE SURVEY IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 !!! If anyone really doesn't want to do the survey send an email to
info@simpsonsepisodes.com or reply to this thread and i will let you in without completing it. You can also ask to be bypass in the shoutbox on the home page
EDIT (June 22 2009): I have reinstated the mandatory surveys system again temporarily. The site just isn't generating the income I need to pay for the dedicated server yet. The traffic we are receiving is over doubling each month so it should only be a matter of time (probably about a few months) before I can take it off entirely or just return to giving users the choice.
If any of you existing users or new users are dead set against completing one then please do not hesitate to either post a reply here on this topic, send en email to info@simpsonsepisodes.com, or send me a private message here on the forums. If you do that I will bypass you so you don't have to complete a survey as soon as I can.P.S. For those that are thinking, "Why should I waste my time for this site". Think of it this way, I have put thousands and thousands of hours into creating this site. This isn't like other show streaming sites just here to make money. I used no content management system or site builder, I did it all by hand. Go to any page, right click and press on 'view source' and you will see how much code is require to be hand written for each page. I have also received very little help in creating this site and most was done solely (with exception to help from Ahhgoobras and moolatte, my finance) Also, I am offering my users up to
10800+ hours of pure watching the simpsons (if you view every episode).
We are now offering our users the option of buying a 5 dollar life-time membership to the site which enables them not to have to fill out the survey. It also enables you to surf the site without advertisements or anything to get in your way of watching the simpsonsFor those that are interested, you are guaranteed to not ever have to complete a survey and you will have lifetime access to every episode and the movie.
