Hmm...
I cannot shed any light on it either much like Alain, I know sod all that's going on (they don't exactly keep the staff informed - exception to Jordan).
I do understand what Dayo is getting at, they aren't as active as one would hope, but thats their choice.
It doesn't really matter if their not active as the community tends to take care of itself, so there will always be a community here may not be devoted entirely to MCCodes but I would assume it will always be about some form of game engine/development.
I do agree on one point in this topic, Mdshare did atleast make an effort with the forum. But Dabs and ColdBlooded have done also so...
Other than that I cannot think of anything to say on this matter as it doesn't bother me either way.
