What is going on with the Alt-Coins latelly?...
Im getting miserable payouts... Much lower then the 0.01 per Mhash i was getting a few weeks ago...
If we join the low value of the BTC atm, i think i will have to shut down part of my farm (maybe half), why are the coins so low?
I understand the MT GOX Fiasco and the low BTC price, but the alt-coin market should be independent right?

What you are seeing is a combination of factors, but alt-coins are not independent of BTC. Shutting down your farm may be the right decision for you and will help other individuals who are able to keep their rigs operating at lower cost by decreasing the network hashrates.
Full disclosure, I am increasing my position in scrypt hashing at the moment.
