Hey everyone, I'm an old school member

[NowhereMan]

I found another picture I drew of CuteYoshiGirl in my PMs. Do you think I had a crush on you? 

Also as someone who started making games, just basic games, this summer, I have found the true *quality* of MFGG. Not the art, because examining, say, Drawing Competitions and Mini-Game Competitions, the members truly hold the highest value into their gaming creations. I played some games on the main site last month and that is what I am going to be doing now, for purposes of me learning how to make games. That is the *main* reason I am back on the boards right now.

Alrite, its been a few months since my original post. I still haven't updated my Wiki, I figure I would contribute some more stuff before I do that. On July 9, 2026 it is going to be the 25th anniversary of the community, thats a huge milestone, especially for this site. 

I would like to emulate a celebration of the 25th anniversary as something wroth treasuring, instead of maybe just a 25th anniversary topic. I'm gettin' too old for this  So I am working on games, sprites, Mario stuff, etc etc for myself, for you guys, for MFGG. MFGG (the community) was a big part of my life growing up. 

Let me go ahead and wrap this topic up. WasabiCatto said he used to be Darkyoshi. As I said, when I first started being interested in Mario website stuff, one of the first websites I was into was Purple Yoshi's Page, a Geocities website that was partly in the same community of the sprite comic patrons I used to hang out online with. I explored the old website (I have no idea who the owner is, as I only wrote a couple messages back and forth long before anything else took place) and there was a staff member named Dark Yoshi (dont know if there was a space or not). Was this you or someone else? 

And yes, Nowhere Man the name itself comes from my old obsession (which never died) of The Beatles. I am going to work on Nowhere Man stuff too for the fun of it while I am here. 

I do enjoy Discord quite a bit, the forums are fun and cool but they are simply not active like they used to be . 

I have never played the Mario Maker games, but I've watched videos and I gotta get my hands on those in the near future!!!!

It is rather hard for me to explore IPB Boards, I dont know when that opens and when it closes, but I am atleast thankful for the stuff I got while it was open. Like I said, I wasn't here for the boards after that, so while there is cool stuff exploring that one, I just am not as connected to it as I was the IPB boards.

The original Boo sprites that I posted, the ones on the site, they actually were not the ones I submitted to the sprite competition which I said. The ones I have on the site, I think I got some backlash on that, like give me credit for edited sprites or something... I dont know, I think they are edited with original components, mixing and matching Boos or something, which is Oh Well to me now because it is a different time. Also I collected sprites, I am going to be working and making my own sprites for various different projects. So I have that going for me right now.

I think I lost CuteYoshiGirl I havent seen them here in a long while lol

I also found that topic in here somewhere with ShadowMan's retrospection of MFGG written some time recently, it was cool, something I could relate to him about still. 

Also while Jinpen was banned on the old old forums, I found him on these forums!!! He posted some of his art in the art forum, goes to show that MFGG had a lot of influence on each us personally. Even DuckBoy is still making art, though, I dont see any correlation to MFGG. 

So thats a wrap, I had a lot of fun here in the past. I just want to make something special out of all this for the anniversary.

I still make a random update on the MFGG Wiki every blue moon. (I might've even made one yesterday!)

MFGG really should do something big for #25 next year!

I assume you realize this, but MFGG used to have two different members known as Dark Yoshi! The current MFGG admin likes to tweak his username every couple of years. The other Dark Yoshi, the one who ran a couple of the previous iterations of MFGG Wrestling, is a different member. I haven't heard from the latter in a while.

The IPB boards are in a weird state where if we make them publicly viewable, they immediately get overrun with thousands of bots - so many bots that they might crash the parts of MFGG that are actually active. So if you want to explore the IPB archive, shoot me a PM first.

Course clear! You got a card.
