Happy birthday MFGG! 25 years is quite a long run. We've outlasted so many other online platforms, both nonprofit communities and commercial entities. Technology has changed a bit in this quarter-century - most of our early users accessed MFGG over dial-up!
It's now been a couple of decades since I first heard about MFGG. I wasn't there for the very earliest years, but I've now been on MFGG for more than half my life, and making games has definitely had a significant influence on my education and career path.
It makes me happy to see MFGG chugging along after all this years. A lot of smaller, more creative communities have died out, after all. Sometimes it's been because of technical gremlins or internal drama, but often it's because big corporate-owned social media platforms have had a deleterious effect on smaller sites. On the other hand, I feel like there's some pushback against the more corporate and polarized platforms out there, and I hope people keep making wacky fangames and enjoying the smaller, more artisanal parts of the Internet (like MFGG!).
May MFGG have many more of these milestone anniversaries!
