So after eleven years of furious debate...

[OssieTheOstrich]

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.

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.

Pardon me for asking, but does the backup of the original phpBB forums have the mysterious event of Charles Martinet visiting MFGG?

Also, how did we get from post-Split MFGG (which I'm assuming was pretty peaceful), to something with a lot of bickering and drama?

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)
