Now d4, if you had just left that last sentence out, your post might have been just a wry comment about the "dead people" thread. I'm sure there's a few people who think the main page could be improved in how it looks - I know I do. Instead you had to go trolling.
Why is it kept alive? Because for years the Dynaverse has been the constant, the one site where we could all gather and collect and trade. It has been the bedrock of this community, to keep people together for a game series by a non-existent publisher, and all of the tweaks and improvements that have occured in the past 10+ years, yours included, began here. Sorry if that makes it seem "dated" in internet-years, but there's something to be said for continuity. Things could continue here, if a whole bunch of people hadn't defected a few months back, due to some over-reactions, in my opinion.
Also, in my opinion, you can't point to hotandspicy as being any sort of an asthetic improvement in design terms. I hate going there, mainly due to the aptly-named "shoutbox," permanently affixed to every thread I open, spouting strings of nonsensical opinions endlessly. I really don't care to read Player X's vitriol about a politician, or Player Y's diatribe on a TV series. Nice thing about Dynaverse - thread like that might be there, but I don't have to see them scrolling across the top.
Play nice. Be polite. Share. Basic concepts that get forgotten on the internet. If events evolve and "market forces" have an impact and players migrate, so be it, but the Dynaverse marketplace is still the only place to acquire these games we love so much. There's no reason there can't be more than one "SFC" site. I appreciate that you have continued double-posting your outstanding upgrades on both sites, as I know others do too. There's no reason to question anyone's existence though
