  1. It means they don't want you there. The site is protected by Cloudflare, and error 1020 indicates you've violated a firewall rule defined by MA, so your connection has been blocked; this can be down to using a VPN, proxy, or simply because your ISP has been blacklisted.

  3. He never left, he just keeps his stuff private and only shares it with those he trusts.

     

    He has no hold over the usage of Pikachu's sprites, as Gladiacloud made them; Dilly only created the select portrait, so if contributing a single sprite is enough to have full ownership, then it's a shared ownership because I sprited the select icon, uncredited.

  4. The simple answer is no, just use Kung Fu Man.

     

    The complicated answer is that there's not really any good template characters because they all have their own issues, even Kung Fu Man. I'd recommend MFG's updated Kung Fu Man, but it features a custom buffering system that uses Explods, which have a global instance limit and can thus be unreliable when characters who use a lot of Explods are present.

  5. Some representative is probably going to contribute to this thread soon.

     

    The monetary gain debacle depends on how you look at it. Every website needs a source of income to stay online; for some, it's paid out of pocket, others through adverts and/or donations. Strictly speaking, in the case of MA, monetary gain is to pay for Dizzy's PS5 keep the site running, which in itself is fine; they're running a service after all and someone has to pay the server/hosting fees. In that aspect, it's no different from sites like MediaFire running ads on download pages. Naturally the other way to look at it is that they're profiting off licensed properties and the work of others, but again, no different from other file hosts that run ads alongside downloads. You're not actually paying to access the content...until you are.

     

    See, a lot of content is locked behind having an account. Simple enough, it's a free account on the surface, but it seems a lot of new users are finding themselves in a moderation queue that doesn't move (alt: purgatory); there's a way to skip the queue, however, but it requires making a donation. Even having an account doesn't give you access to all the content, as lower user ranks have download limits, mandating the user to contribute to the site to rank up...or donate. That's where the issue lies: they're locking content they don't own behind grinding or a paywall, like a free-to-play game.
