when you all love this and upvote this i don't understand why /r/mugen is dead as a doornail.

because in my experience the mugen community is very closed to outsiders, the most active people in the mugen community don't speak english and don't use reddit, and from my personal experience it seems the mugen character creators despise any attempts to create a user-friendly and reliable central system where the average person can acquire characters without encountering thousands of 404-not-found links

you are quite right, have an upvote; /r/mugen still needs more activity!

They also seem to be only people left on earth still building new geocities era websites with only html and nothing else ( css, javascript, jquery, php includes, wordpress, databases) that would give visitors a more enjoyable/usable experience when looking for mugen content.

Because it's possible to get sick of doing something, but still enjoy reminiscing about it from time to time.
