So since getting rid of the site isn't an option, I've come up with an idea. Many of you have also been asking me personally when Scferg.com is going to be released, and I really don't know myself. But my plan is to keep the content and domain of TheSimsNews.com, and have the site as a subdomain of Scferg.com (as previously mentioned). So, you could access the site by still going to TheSimsNews.com or (ex.) TSN.Scferg.com.
Regarding the core structure of TSN, the content will be pretty much the only aspect that will remain. Since it will no longer be my main site, to avoid hassle and improve the ease of updating content, TSN will be running of a content management system (CMS) or some database-type system. And also since TSN won't be my main focus, having other people to keep the site updated will be key. So... if you would like to apply to be a staff at TSN, email me via the Contact page. Please keep in mind that since the transition to the new site won't be in the immediate future, you won't get a reply, but I will keep all of the applicant's contact information at hand for future reference.

So please bare with me as the new sites are under development and prepared.
I've released the first public beta version of Scferg.com. As of now, it's only the basic theme and layout of the site. Keep in mind that there's still a lot of work to be done and it might change in transition to the actual operating website.
Scferg.com is the next generation of my website. I have enjoyed managing and interacting with all of you throughout the years, but I feel the need to have a personal website -- more than just Sims coverage. Many of you have been wondering (and emailing me) what is this all about and now, let me explain. First of all: yes, Scferg.com will be replacing TheSimsNews.com, BUT TSN will not cease to exist. The new website will be a blog of my own featuring day-to-day stuff about me, tech news, and more. Simply, there will be a link on the site that links to TSN. So, basically, this site as you know it will basically be a sub-site of my new personal site. The look will be the same -- the content will be the same. As far as the TSN forum goes, I'll have to figure out a way (if there even is one) to transfer all of your current accounts to the blog forum. I may or may not integrate the two, they must just end up being separate all together.
