I'm also incredibly late to the party, but hey. Congratulations MFGG, you're a piece of Internet history! May you live forever! I know I'll be checking this forum once every few months until the day I die.
I was only 13 or 14 when I first joined MFGG, only 16 when the Split happened, and yet for such little time my teenage years were defined by this place. No other Internet community gave me as much joy, during the doldrums of high school life. I still talk to people who I met here every single day, and I've even met MFGGers in real life. I've hung out with Glukom probably a dozen times over the past six years, and I even became close friends with some of his irl friends (one of whom I saw just last night). And I still remember cavorting around Manhattan with Shroomguy in the winter of 2017, when I first moved to NYC. I'm sure there will be many more of these fateful meetings to come!
Me and some younger MFGGers (Dex, Glukom, Zero Kirby, RetroX, a few others) tried to start our own secret society after the Split as well, and that lasted for about a year and a half before morphing into what's today a very active Discord server -- the same path which MFGG itself ended up taking, it seems. I think we found RII's secret society at some point, although I don't remember how and we couldn't see any of the posts; we joked that we had competition. There must have been so many of these splinter communities, behind the scenes. Other than these two I only know of MFGGU and Crab Radish -- although I think the latter just devolved into furry RP for years on end, or something like that.
Well! See you all next year!
