Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I thought the Simpsons were vague about Springfields location as it was supposed to be anywhere, USA. I wouldn't have guessed Oregon.

Matt part did an explanation of it that ruled it down to Oregon I think

Yes, Oregon is Matt Groening's home state so there's some similarities, but it's pretty explicitly not set in any real state.

"From up here you can see the four states that boarder Springfield. Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky"

Canonically Simpsons isn't set anywhere real. In reality Groening is from OR and a lot of the names in the show are from places from where he grew up.

Yep. I literally lived in the shadow of Skinner Butte in Eugene (Shelbyville)
