MFGG is 20 years old!

[Vitiman]

I'm well aware the odds of you seeing my reply are slim-to-none, but I appreciate that you bothered to come here and celebrate the anniversary with a smile... let alone at all!

Your odd works meant a lot to me. How you championed Thingio, or your behemoth masterpiece "Super Hyper Paper Deluxe Mario Bros. Galaxy World Land 4" starring the immensely humourous Quackers the Duck. It all seems like a lot of bizarre juvenile s*** to you nowadays, I'm willing to bet - but those silly things (and the many silly things of others) helped shape my sense of humour and inclination towards being creative. I guarantee you'd find this hard to believe, but it's true! I even remember an old website where you drew attention to really old, hardly-known games and even did sprite rips of them. I wished that site was still up, because it had a wealth of incomprehensible graphics one could use in a silly joke game. I wish there was more of that culture prevalent in present-day fangaming, but alas.

I know we didn't always see eye-to-eye; as I recall, we once bickered over the purpose of the wiki many many years back. I think a lot of it stemmed from misunderstandings... but you bringing up that "retirement" forum that you were a part of almost puts that into a new perspective for me. I really hope you didn't think we were mishandling MFGG, a site you put a ton of work into back in the day. I couldn't think of anything further from the truth, really. I do want to apologize for letting that happen at all, even if it was a long time ago. It was a silly thing, really.

I myself don't really visit here anymore, but I've been feeling a bit nostalgic because of the anniversary and have been keeping an eye on this thread for whatever reason. I'm glad I did! It's nice seeing Mr. BS himself show up. Err, maybe I should re-word that. Oh well, you get the idea.

Cheers, Black Squirrel. I hope your eTirement was worthwhile
