Potential ally against badfic found! by

Well, hold on, let me explain. No, there is too much, let me sum up:
Durring my travels on the internet, I was looking for some MLP MST's. I knew about Fan/fic/ Theater 3000, but surely there were others. Lo and behold, I found Ponyriffs, a site meant to archive various MST's from the pony fandom. It had some moderate levels of success, having several MSTers from the bronyhood come in and host their snarky comments on badfic on the site, and several more reading them. But then something happened. The creator of Ponyriffs decided that he wanted more, and so created a second website: The MST Network, a site to archive and host hundreds of MSTs from any and all fandoms.
The only problem is that nobody knows it exists.
This was an ambitious project to begin with, and Ponyriffs only worked because of the passion of the folks behind Fan/fic/ Theater 3000. Now that they are falling to the wayside, even Ponyriffs is starting to fall. It's not dead yet, not by any means, but it is weaker. The MST network on the other hand is a wasteland, the forums full of months old topics, and only two MST seres actually being hosted on the site. Yet it is still somewhat breathing. It may be on life support, but she's not dead yet.
There were 36 visitors within the last 24 hours, and a couple of new threads made. It can be brought back, but it needs help to do so, and I think the PPC can do it. We make fun of badfic, and MSTs are a large part of our community. If some borders will go over to the website, extend the hand of friendship, and tell other MSTers from other groups about this site, we could make it live again. If you have an MST seres of your own, contact the webmaster though the links on the 'Contact Us' page and offer to have them host it. Say hello on the forums and interact with the (few) people there. Or don't, and let it fall the the wayside, never letting it see its full potential. It was doomed anyway, right? Whatever, do what you will, I just wanted to give this place some attention.
