As you can probably tell, 2010 MFGG was a very... colorful era. I still have mixed feelings about the way things ended, but I'm thankful that post-Split MFGG was generally much more positive and peaceful.
Legend has it that I somehow acquired access to the 2010-era phpBB staff forum before I became staff. It was definitely an interesting read! That was when the original archive was still intact. Some decisions were good, and some decisions were very not good. Either way, I tried to learn from other staffers' experience, and I think this knowledge helped me dodge a few pitfalls during my time as admin.
Yes, I still have a copy of Super Mario Legend! 'Tis a pity it never got finished - it was a very promising fangame with good gameplay and a lot of heart.
I've asked nearly everyone who might have a backup of the original phpBB forums (the boards that ran from November 2009 to November 2010, for the young'uns viewing this topic!). No one seemed to have a backup. My understanding is that during a previous server change, the admins moving content to the new server overlooked the old phpBB archive, and it didn't get transferred over. You could also try asking R II, Techokami, or Guinea again (or Char or Kyori, in the unlikely event you can get hold of them), but I think the archive is lost for good. Char is your best bet, but he's also going to be the hardest to reach. Good luck.
Also, part of me thinks it might be best to let the 2010 MFGG remain a memory. There were some fun times and some pleasant "normal" conversations, but there was a disproportionate amount of bickering.
