Anyone playing that is not a fan of the show won't last long on this game.

I don't agree with this at all.

I think there are plenty of opinions here that have been voiced very eloquently. For one I don't think you have to be a fan to enjoy the game. Some people just like watching the Simpsons every now and then. They see the game, they download it and before they know it, they're addicted to it. I'm a very good example. I did grow up watching the Simpsons but I gave up watching the show years ago. I only downloaded the game because a friend told me it was super fun and I was bored and decided to give it a shot. This game in fact renewed the interest in the show for me. Through this game, I learned more about the show than watching the show itself. I didn't know what was Cletus' name to begin with. To me, he was just the hillbilly with a lot of kids.

There are plenty of people who play this game who may not know every character or every building that is in the show. Even when the new building that was introduced, Pimento Grove, it was very obvious that many players don't know what the building was. It was after a little googling or somebody who's a mega fan of the show who knew what it was informed everyone what it was.

I believe that it is always a learning curve, when people post a lot here, people tend to get carried away. I admit that I contribute as well. Now, with topics I don't enjoy, like the joke thread (because I don't know if I'll read something that'll offend me) I avoid like the plague. Even the add me threads, I've learned to look away.

I'm not saying you're wrong or you can't voice an opinion. All I'm saying is, this is the internet and this forum is without a moderator. Things will be what it will be. If you don't like it, look away and just post where you like to. Or if you can't find a thread to talk about it, create one! Also, thick skin is required. :)
