I'm not gonna lie -- people are stupid. People say Brawl modding is dead because they're done with it, and assume everyone else is as well. Usually those kinds of people only started their modding 'travels' through Brawl, and have no idea how modding as a whole actually works since its early days on the PC front, but what're you gonna do.
As an addendum to KJP's excellent post, originality is flunking. Everyone wants to make a P:M variant of something, or overall just focus on the one thing, rather than modding as a whole, and the site's continuously-dated look becomes more jarring the longer time passes. And there's not much we can do as users about that on both fronts, because in the former's case everyone wants to be the next big thing rather than making things for their own merits, and in the latter's case, there's only one coder for an entire site.
