Feb 8, 2013 at 19:15 comment added Simon Pepin Lehalleur $M_{g,n}$ is very far from being affine. For every $g\geq 3$, there is a complete curve passing through any point. This follows from the existence of a compactification with boundary of codimension >1 (the Satake compactification). The problem is only the complement of a very ample divisor is guaranteed to be affine.
Feb 2, 2013 at 16:53 comment added Vivek Shende also, the complement of a divisor has no reason to be affine -- take $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1 \setminus 0 \times \mathbb{P}^1 = \mathbb{A}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$.
Feb 2, 2013 at 11:14 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly The Kodaira-Parshin construction produces lots of non-isotrivial proper and smooth curves over a smooth projective curve. See for example M. Martin-Deschamps, Astérisque vol. 127 (1985).
