Madden GIFERATOR is a promotional site for the video game Madden 15, allowing people to create (often humorously) captioned GIFs of football players from the game.
Vital signs
Seems to be stable for now, but as with many promotional sites, it's likely not going to stay for too long (especially when considering that it's promoting Madden '15, whose series has yearly instalments).
Site structure
As of March 20, 2015, there are 453,818 items.
