First, the last update was in Junish of 2007, when they added the 'Infusions' chapter to DarkHeart High. They also addded several new chapters to Furnicher warrior X sometime in 2007, though I'm unclear as to when. At some random point between the 2003-2007 Slayers Glorious finished up.
A problem you missed was the lack of new story contests. What I mean is that they held a contest with voting to decide which entry or entries into a small contest got to be an offical Improfanfic story. The last one was in 2002 or 2003. Making the sight take a 'finish these or no new stories will see the light of day' approach. Making new writers not able to do much, but add to the old stories.
Add to that that the mods and those allowing posting access, infrequently bother to check the sight's forum (once a month kind of thing.) From what I can see, you have to contact them via e-mail to get a response or anything done.
What should happen is the run a new fic opening chapter contest... pick at least one, hopefully more, entries and open the queue up for writers. At the same time, the old fics have to be dropped lower on the page to incative for 2-3 months section and another for a year or loner inactive archive. You also must add a year to the updated section as some look resent that are 3 years dead.
Also, I liked Magical Girl Hunters, for its twistedness. Which I describe as 'Hundreds of new magical girls are appearing to the point they out number the villans and are running out of things to reprsent. This is the story of those payed to deal with the infestation and one new very reluctant, magical girl who is working for enough money to take out a contract on herself.'
Which comes to my next point... the stories need quick descriptions near them or in the blocks of text that appear over the link picture to story itself.
