EDIT: Also, I think the Addventure format came from porn sites.
As for the Anime Addventure dying and Gregg Sharp quitting fanfiction, I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's painful to see a veteran author leaving, and a fanfic community disappearing or becoming a pale shadow of what it was(like the FFML). OTOH, Gregg Sharp's contribution to fanfiction is... mixed, shall we say. He had many good ideas in The Bet, but at the same time, he and his fans spread his Ranma fanon to the point many( if not most) people believe it is the correct characterization. He pulled the same thing to a lesser degree with his Sailor Moon and Naruto writing, and despite having so many ideas, the fics/episodes that came from them looked about the same, no matter what. When I saw most of the episodes in the Anime Addventure were being done by him and Kender(who if it's not the same guy, writes remarkably like him), I knew it was going to end. It took some time, but it seems to have come.
Also, regarding episode numbers, a lot of episodes posted in the beginning were simply blank episodes with more options, and nothing else. It happened to such a ridiculous extent that the mods had to step on it. I wonder if half of the episodes are, in fact, episodes, or are merely option extensions.
