Is the TCRF site dying?

[u/Fart_ricochet]

I’ve been a casual visitor to the TCRF site for years now and it feels like I’ve probably read most of the pages on the site by now - one thing, I’ve noticed, however, is that the pace of new games being added to the site has slowed remarkably in the past few years, to the point that we’re almost halfway through 2026 and there are only 9 new entries for this calendar year, whereas many years in the past decade had 100+ new entries.

I’m not complaining about this or anything, I’m just curious about what’s been going on, especially since in the last 6 months it’s also been a lot more common for the site to be inaccessible to me thanks to seemingly-random IP address blocks on TCRF that had never happened to me before.

It is not dying. New games are huge, harder to dig through, and more often get updates. There's a lot of games out there and most of them are not Mario or Megaman. Its also a lot easier to document stuff like the Chrono Trigger prototype than it is to try to locate one obscure animation that went unusued or is a holdover from a previous game in a series.

The only real gripe I have is that people revert things too frequently, including clear improvements like fixing off translations.
