Some nosy questions to the site admins

[VinnyVideo]

No problem!

How long has this site been around?

MFGG has existed since 2001. Its predecessor, Bowser Technologies, is a bit older than that.

Who started it? Is he/she still around on the site? Why was the original motivation for starting it?

@Thunder Dragon is the original creator of MFGG. He's not super-active these days, but he still exists! He could probably explain in greater detail why he created MFGG.

What tech is this site built on?

The MFGG mainsite runs on PHP code written by @Retriever II. TCSMS was coded specifically for MFGG. The forums run on the latest version of MyBB, and the Wiki runs on MediaWiki 1.20.8.

Why hasn't the site's design been updated in any way over the years?

Don't worry - we're working on updating the mainsite software, since the mainsite's interface is showing its age. It has some bugs that irritate both staff members and regular users, too. @HylianDev is spearheading this project (prod, prod).

The last major update to the mainsite was way back in summer 2006. Here's how MFGG looked right before this update.. R II and Techokami have made a few security patches and bugfixes since then, but that's about it.

Does this make sense? Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about!

Course clear! You got a card.
