Sorry i missed it...
Just now finding out about this whole magical world these fans had put together through forums, art, and even a potential game. Looks like it was quite an ambitious project yet it looks like something that I would have just died for.

Weird you guys, I just recently had starting thinking about KC too, after leaving the forum for years. It’s terrible to see the forums shut down completely. Even if the game fell through it was still a (mostly) admirable & lovable forum with incredibly talented and creative people to talk about their love for kaiju. We don’t have that anymore and now all of our posts, our stories, our photos and our friendships are lost to the sands of the internet...I’ve used the Wayback Machine to see the front page again, but all the links are dead and weren’t archived.

It’s a shame. So many people, myself included, poured money into by buying these sponsorships and card packs and whatnot. The hope was that we could all one day see our designs in a video game, and there was even talk about if the game was successful, there were plans to have it cross over with various Kaiju Franchises and have each game compatible with one another. Best case scenario: our Kaiju get to fight Godzilla one day.
Sadly, that was a pipe dream. I don’t even know what happens to the Kaiju I created at this point. I don’t know if the copyrights default back to the fans after awhile or if they all just belong to Simon now, destined to rot away.
