Hi there!
Today is MFGG's 25th Anniversary and I actually made a note of it so I wouldn't miss a milestone this time!
For those who don't know me; I am Neo Hyper Yoshi, one of the oldbies from the ' Golden Age ' when MFGG was in it's infancy in 2001 when it was small enough that it felt more like a family than a large website. Yeah, I thought I was been cool back then with my username ( basically because I look Yoshi, thought Hyper Sonic was cool and the ezboards site botched registering my username ' Hyper Yoshi ' so I had to add the ' Neo ' to it and the rest was history!
I can tell stories about those early years; Anti-SFGHQ ( That was me who made that as a forum, then I was able to get online for a few days afterwards because this was Ireland in 2001. Made mainly cos SFGHQ's forums had a lot of dickish people in it, kinda expected as most of us were teenagers back then! ) The Great ' Kyle ' Flamewar that ended with the deletion of the MFGG for the first time.
That said, MFGG kept me sane and going during a rough period when I was 15 - 16 and I am greatful. Oh, I'm 40 now so yes I'm a dinosaur and the Saving Private Ryan meme is relevant to me!
So I just though I'd post this and wish MFGG a Happy Anniversary, hope it's a good one and you keep going strong!
And if anyone wants to ask me anything, please go ahead and I'll see what I can remember.
