Proof that MFGG doesn't need to be dead

[King Piranha Plant]

I've said this before, but here's your yearly reminder that SMW Central, the Mario rom hacking forum, is extremely active and lively. 18 usernames online on there as I'm posting this. People post rom hacks and give each other feedback, talk about rom hacks. gaming, art and life in general.

Or 22 usernames online on the very active Super Mario Boards, or 63 online on Animal Crossing community the Bell Tree Forums.

But to me SMW Central is the most notable one, because like... it's a rom hacking community. If a rom hacking community can be this kicking in 2021, why isn't MFGG?

Forums didn't die. This inactivity is an MFGG specific issue. It could easily be brought back to life if we keep posting, talk more about fangames and give our creative people feedback. Especially if people on the Discord post on the forums more. And I know I'm part of the problem, so this post is somewhat hypocritical - I disappear a lot and should contribute more. But I think everyone, including me, needs a reminder of this.

We've discussed in the past that MFGG's forums died for reasons such as strictness, the split, and moving to new versions of the forum. Now that those things are all past us, MFGG could easily flow with some activity again.
