Futurama Madhouse

The Futurama Madhouse (formerly known as The Leela Zone, from which its abbreviation comes from, TLZ) is the oldest living Futurama fan site.

The Futurama Madhouse also contains the Futurama Madhouse Message Board.

History
The Leela Zone was created on 27 July in 1999 by Mark LeWard and was the first Futurama fan site to dedicate itself to one character, namely Turanga Leela in this case. Its first initial host was decided 'terrible', but was moved to a stable location with the help of Matthew Riley, who ran There's Something About Futurama, another fan site.

However, LeWard was unable to continue the work on The Leela Zone and on 11 January, 2000, the site stopped updating and There's Something About Futurama also closed its doors. However, on 1 April, 2000, Leonardo Pardini relaunched the website under a new layout and a lot more content, and hosted on Can't Get Enough Futurama. Though, on 11 November, 2000, the site moved off from there, and not until October, 2005, did it find its current location with Omnis Networks

Name change
Due to the cancellation of Futurama and the fact that The Leela Zone had grown beyond a one character dedication site to a general fan site, in August of 2004 the site changed it's name to Futurama Madhouse to reflect its more general nature, however the The Leela Zone remains an important part of its history and still appears by its current name to this day.

In addition to this official change, the site has changed it's name several other times, mostly for laughs. Examples include Futurama on Drugs, The Futurama Communist Front (complete with a MIDI of the Soviet national anthem), and The Self-Righteous Bitch Zone (shortly after Parasites Lost first aired).
