There are 25 stories containing 'Master PC' in their titles, but only 2 of them are in a 'Master PC' universe.
Is there a reason for that? Is the 'Master PC' universe closed with an inactive owner perhaps?

JR Parz created the Master PC Universe on SOL in about 2007. Some of the Master PC stories on SOL were posted in 2002. It appears that he created and owns the Universe, but was not the creator of the original Master PC story. So evidently, the authors of earlier and subsequent stories using that plot, choose to not add their stories to JR Parz universe; assuming it is not a closed universe.
Minor edit
circa 1998
Must have been on a site other than SOL. So those of us who don't follow other sites may not have heard of what happens on those sites.

That's pretty much what happened. The original was posted to MCstories.com in 1998, and spawned a great number of works set in that universe, but over here the author didn't start using the site until nearly ten years later, and doesn't appear to have stuck around long afterward.
They predated Mcstories on usenet variants of alt.binaries and others. Several variants were out there, but Parz was the one set the universe.
The Master PC Universe by JR Parz is closed and only he can post to it. The Universe and Series list have markers to let you know if a universe or series is not closed to other authors.

Found it! The one or two asterisks against the name in the alphabetical list. However they don't appear on the home page for a Universe/Series, which is where you land when you click on its name from a story.
