Funding has only been going down, and well below the 2.4K they established as necessary.
I would be mildly surprised if anyone had the appetite to boost the funding again if they tried for another emergency donation drive, and I get the impression that Grot is either looking to step down or very close to it. That is to say, without any changes, I suspect the end of the site is going to happen within the next year from now, if not sooner.
The place has clearly run its course. Maybe not from a traffic perspective, but definitely with regards to usefulness. Most discussion for game projects is done in private discords these days, so a dedicated forum seems almost anachronistic at this point. Add to that that more and more game developers aren't posting to WGing but opting for other platforms, the place is not super useful anymore save for some key legacy projects or developers. I don't have any hope in the Wiki at doing anything other than serving as a niche data source, and the main site is probably never going to happen. Even if it did, it doesn't make sense to go at it like a storefront that no developer is going to have faith in given Grot's less than stellar track record of managing communities.
As far as I see it, what is needed is site that is just an easily searchable directory of user-tagged games and user-supplied links out to places for discussion if they exist. Let the communities exist where they currently are since trying to bring together all of them under one roof...well, you end up with WGing for all the good and (mostly) bad that entails.
This would be fairly manageable and there are plenty of existing tools out there to produce something like this semi-quickly. Infrastructure for load balancing and such is harder but still pretty straight forward. Biggest hurdle would be how does it pay for itself? Grot's monthly costs are inflated because of the "main site" but even a portion of the current traffic on WGing would be very costly, especially in current economic conditions.
I'd be half tempted to give it a go if I had a semi-decent idea of how to keep it afloat without paying for it myself. Partially because I'd like it to exist, but also to serve as the final nail in the coffin for WGing as a primary source for this stuff.
