The reason this site is dying.

The inclination to make Nintendo-accurate fangames might be why a lot of people are afraid of their games being taken down. It's not necessarily like a closeness to Officialâ„¢ is enough for Nintendo to actually do anything (historically this has been proven false, even), but it does mean people are not as willing to have more fun with Nintendo's franchises and make sillier/more out-there things, which in turn means people are well aware that their projects can pick up steam and the wrong kind of attention.

Ultimately, I think the Nintendo Fangame Dev community needs a nice kick in the rump. I've said it before many months/years ago, but it may be in MFGG's best interest to partner up with any other struggling fangame communities. Granted... most of the big name ones are already defunct, which is a foreboding warning to MFGG's potential fate. It can happen to you guys, if you're not careful.
