Happy 25th Anniversary MFGG from an Old Guard. - Neo Hyper Yoshi - 07-09-2026
Hi there!
Today is MFGG's 25th Anniversary and I actually made a note of it so I wouldn't miss a milestone this time!
For those who don't know me; I am Neo Hyper Yoshi, one of the oldbies from the ' Golden Age ' when MFGG was in it's infancy in 2001 when it was small enough that it felt more like a family than a large website. Yeah, I thought I was been cool back then with my username ( basically because I look Yoshi, thought Hyper Sonic was cool and the ezboards site botched registering my username ' Hyper Yoshi ' so I had to add the ' Neo ' to it and the rest was history!
I can tell stories about those early years; Anti-SFGHQ ( That was me who made that as a forum, then I was able to get online for a few days afterwards because this was Ireland in 2001. Made mainly cos SFGHQ's forums had a lot of dickish people in it, kinda expected as most of us were teenagers back then! ) The Great ' Kyle ' Flamewar that ended with the deletion of the MFGG for the first time.
That said, MFGG kept me sane and going during a rough period when I was 15 - 16 and I am greatful. Oh, I'm 40 now so yes I'm a dinosaur and the Saving Private Ryan meme is relevant to me!
So I just though I'd post this and wish MFGG a Happy Anniversary, hope it's a good one and you keep going strong!
And if anyone wants to ask me anything, please go ahead and I'll see what I can remember.

Hey there - it's good to see you! It's always nice to get a visit from the old guard.
But as someone whose character is a Yoshi, you've always been a dinosaur!
Do you have any cool libs or other MFGG lost media you'd like to share?

Happy anniversary from one old fossil to another. Teenage Kritter probably owes a lot to this place, it definitely got me through some times at that tumultuous point in my life.

Wish I did, unfortunately those are long gone on my side. Otherwise I would've offered up anything I had.

I remember discovering this place in 2008, back when I was young and stupid. Now, I'm unfortunately no longer young.
I owe much to this place as my growth as a programmer and level designer happened here and it's good to see it still around. Happy birthday.
