Simpsons Bortposting

Origin

Simpsons Bortposting® is an OC-focused meme group on Facebook with over 200,000 members. It was founded in 2017 by Jordan Mort as a new group to focus specifically on meme-makers and the creation of Simpsons OC (Original Content) given the vast amount of reposts in the larger Simpsons Shitposting™ group.

Culture

Unlike most shitposting groups, Simpsons Bortposting has a reputation for being very wholesome, with a focus on encouraging members to create and share their first piece of Original Content, as a result, the group has attracted OC creators from all across facebook.

Notable content

Bortposting regular Justin Cozens shared many "Sugarposting" videos to the group, a supercut of which has amassed over 350,000 views on YouTube:

Simpsons Bortposting saw the creation of a new type of Simpsons Meme, the Panorama Post, by Nicholas Lockhead, the fourth of which, Shitposting Block Party was reshared on facebook more than 28,000 times.

Lockhead produced a number of other such Panoramic memes, including Shitposting Dinner Party, Steamed Hams, and The Springfield Files.

In the Limewire Meme resurgence of October 2018, many of the Limewire posts that made the rounds on Twitter and in other Facebook groups originated in Bortposting.

Growth

The group has growing exponentially since its inception: it took the group approximately 11 months to reach 10,000 members, but only 3 months later had almost 25,000. On October 8th, 2023, the group surpassed over 300,000 members.
