I like how you assume that you know exactly why the site might be closing. I haven't tried to get anyone to make games in a long time, the problem is the near lack of anything resembling intelligent conversation. I used to actually enjoy spending time here but I don't anymore.
It's not that I don't like arguing and drama at all, I think it can bring more activity to the site and I sometimes enjoy debates myself. But lately the arguing has all been very angry and nonsensical, with everyone throwing around various accusations and insults and not making any attempt to understand the other person's point of view (I'm talking about the whole site in general, not the threads about you getting banned.) That type of arguing is not productive at all in the long term, it just scares off new members and makes the old ones less likely to stay.
And these are the reasons for the site possibly closing soon:
1. Since minish sabotaged the ads I'm literally paying $10 a month so you guys can yell at each other on the internet. Maybe once your mom doesn't buy everything for you you'll understand why this is a problem.
2. I'm almost ready to start advertising Vexillum once I finish a few more features, and when I have another popular site I can get rid of this one.
3. In a few weeks I will have a job so I won't have much time at all for other stuff. I've kept Buildism up through worse times but that was back when I enjoyed it.
Notice that you don't come in anywhere. You're banned because I thought you seemed like a harmful influence, so I asked the community if they agreed. They did so I went with their decision.
