One other thing. The votes are meant for having a package moved to [community] and not for having it kept in AUR. The minimum of required votes are 10 as far as I know. So a package with 7 votes is not that far away from that.
Ah, I thought it was 20 votes but with a bit of wiki searching that was apparently an old minimum. I usually quote the votes because "Votes are an indicator of package interest or usage." (Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community#Minimum_Vote_Requirement). I guess the key word in that sentence is indicator! Do any pages of definitive rules/guidelines exist?

I don't think I flagged either package out of date but either way thanks for letting me know about old projects. I'm still a bit of a noob here :P
I don't know who has flagged this package as out-of-date, but it was. So I mentioned it.
This button is abused quite often. Unfortunately there are some people who regularly flag a package as out-of-date just because they think there are bugs in the PKGBUILD and they are just waiting for a new version of the PKGBUILD - so they misuse it as their personal bug tracker - or in this case because they probably think that a package is "too" old for their taste.
I do have a question though. What if it's an old multiplayer only project? I nobody plays it, nobody will want to use it.
I guess, if the servers aren't accessible anymore then this game can be considered as unusable anymore. So I guess it won't work anymore except if there's also a single player mode.
