None of their official sites are working and their one & only video hosting server have been down for months.
As there's no official shutdown notice, will be marked as Inactive until further notice.Checklist:

when adding a new extensionDon't remove gogo as there is no official announcement made on the server
I mean, do we expect it coming back? I'm fine with either tbh to either leave it there or remove it.
I hesitated to remove it too at first, but then I thought if new users to the repo install it and see that it's broken, they would submit an issue (without searching, like has been happening again and again). By removing it, at least only old users would complain.
New users would not know it exists in the first place, though they might request it to be added...
That is true but there are also some people who will make source request for it so removing it will not solve the issue creating problem
It may reduce it, new users would need to know that they can make a request, know where to make a request and create github account for it.
I'm hoping most of them would settle with other extensions that are already available before they start asking for it.
Of course, to leave it be or remove it, I will comply to whatever final decision made by the maintainers.
How about writing Broken with the name of Gogoanime like Gogoanime (Broken)
That might work, but Broken implies it need fixing. How about On Hiatus (to borrow from manga terms) or Inactive?
Inactive would be better
Added Inactive status to extension name, also notice message when user tries to load popular or latest page:
Great work man 👏👍
Would be better if you also add "Be aware of fake/clone sites" so that they don't make new issues again and again
idk man, the past few months since I started being active observing this project have lowered my expectations on people's ability to read and comprehend long text.
that official dramacool announcement? someone literally replied it's a lie because the fakes exists: https://xcancel.com/jjuu11een/status/1861729536036962558
I doubt warning such person about fakes would get through their numb skulls, maybe let's try this first?
I think removing it altogether is better.
i guess final say is up to hak now?
I’m choosing option 1 because there’s still a chance they might come back or rebrand. If they do, the site structure will likely stay the same, making it easier for maintainers to work on
Removing it entirely is best, and if it does come back, the code for it isn't entirely gone the git history will still be there
