Bring back the Fangame Discussion Forum

[GeneralGuy]

Hm weird, I swear I remember it being called something that specifically encouraged discussion on fangames. Maybe I'm falsely remembering. But overall I think the point I'm making is more that "Developer Discussion" sounds a bit too technical to encourage talk about fangames. And the reason people don't talk about them in "Development Showcase" is kind of the same issue, but also that there's a sort of strict idea with how that forum works - as in there's only one thread per fangame and they're always made by the creator, mainly for the purpose of updates and sharing progress. Like you wouldn't make a thread "My Top 10 Fangames" in there, haha.

But to be fair with all this, our GC and PPP are currently working perfectly for fangame discussion - on the current page of the GC there are 5 threads about fangames, eg. "Yoshi vs. Windows speedrunning", "Any good Mario fangames?", my recent thread about Biebersoft, etc. (I'll add this point to the original post)

So it's not necessary by any means to add another. I just wonder if it would encourage more talk about fangames if we had a place like that. There are sooo many fangames on MFGG and, man, even on the Discord I'm always wishing people talked more about them, assuming a good deal of people are still even playing them.

No, you're right. There was a forum on the old Invision message boards called Fangame Discussion. https://archive.mfgg.net/

I think we should bring back Fangame Discussion. Sure, you can discuss fangames in the GC or PPP, but having a sub-forum made specifically to talk about fangames would not only encourage discussion about them more than having to post about it in the GC or PPP, but would also be strictly about fangames and thus easy to find fangame discussions.
