MKPC has a vibrant community and there is no denying it. But as the game gets older and important members of the community leave, what will happen? A quick and obvious answer is replacements, but sometimes classic members may not be familiar with these new people and follow suit.
Another issue is coding and the more technical side of the things. As the code that runs this very community ages and more parts of the program break due to updates, what will occur? Of course repairs exist but there is be a breaking point where the core code needs to be changed, and it could change everything, from CPU drivers to the forum UI I am writing and you are reading.      
As I close off I ponder with another query. When Wargor leaves for whatever reason that I will not get into, who will take charge? There is no co-owner and I'm unsure if the moderators can read the code of the game so they can maintain it. The end of this game is inevitable, like everything, like they say "All good things must come to an end". - Grandmast3r

Ok, so...

1. People leave, there's nothing better we can do than respect their choices and, as long as they don't delete their account, their stuff is still accessible. For new people, we show what they can or can't do here and, as long as they're not stupid, we're fine.

2. For what I understand, most of the game's code isn't that old, at least not old enough that it can't be fixed, the only thing that I heard having a really strange code is Quick Mode, that still has some easy stuff (like new tilesets), but most of it is a code that is so hard to understand that if Wargor was to change one thing about it, he wouldn't know how to fix it back, that's why most requests wanting new stuff for QM won't happen. I don't think there'll be many problems involving the code honestly, since we're on the peak of coders in MKPC... huh... two guys.

3. This I can't really say much, since Wargor is the one who will decide what'll happen with MKPC.
If he decides to never update it, nothing will really change tbh, it's not like MKPC's main way to keep a playerbase is getting updates.
If he passes it to someone else, we see what this other person does to the site and if we don't like, idk, we quit, or we can go to wayback machine and play the older versions.
If he deletes it, we accept and, idk, make a new one or, as I said before, wayback machine exists

why do you only care about quote unquote "updates" for the character creator which would just be unnecessary anyways

Don't forget the reason people are leaving is because of Little Kiddies who start Drama.

the image width is 768 x 32 which (im pretty sure) is the same for each character, so it isnt "random" like you're saying
