MFGG is 20 years old!

[Kirby's Adventure]

Happy birthday, MFGG.
I first joined the mainsite 10 years ago, but I was aware of MFGG for longer. Does that make me an oldbie?
There have been ups and downs, but 20 years for any online community is nothing to scoff at. It really is remarkable that MFGG has persisted in some form 'till today.
Here's to hoping the "Nintendo hates fangames" narrative dies before this site does.

I should also acknowledge that MFGG gave me an outlet for social interaction when I didn't really have one. I used to be very awkward - most of the older members that were active on phpbb can attest to that - but between the forums, Skype and Discord offshoots, maybe MFGG played a small part in me becoming more comfortable with myself and being in social situations!
I've also made lasting friendships here and met some cool opportunities. I co-founded the largest active Pikmin server back in 2016, which is still active today, and I wouldn't have gotten into the music I love if my friends hadn't introduced me to it.
So, thanks to the members who populate MFGG! There wouldn't be a site without a member base.
