The EZBoards are back on the Wayback Machine!

[DJ Yoshiman]

Yoshi's Island being rated the top game is a simpler explanation - it just is. There's a reason it was ripped from for sprites and backgrounds, but never attempted to recreate it or make a sequel - you can't touch perfection. I remember, at one point of time, making a topic and asking if every one was down for a Yoshi's Island level editor, and I started something thinking it would be easy. Silly me. ​​​​​

I can confirm that EZBoards had a 20 page limit, and would purge topics older than that when new ones were created.

I can also confidently say that the URL you have is the same as the old Bowser Technologies URL, which was the site before it turned into MFGG. I don't have the answer as to how it came to be that the website migrated over to the EmulationZone.org hosting. However, the EZBoards URL didn't change (hence why the URLs are named as they are). The EZBoards were used after the guestbook era of forums (free forum software) for Bowser Tech, and when the website switched to MFGG, so too did the forum skin, name and intent.

Sorry about the ridiculous bump here of an old topic but I actually know why the old Ezboard MFGG fourms have the Bowser Technologies url because I was there;

When MFGG first launched, it actually had it's own unique ezboard forum, separate to Bowser Technologies. However a few months after the launch of the site, Ezboard botched a site wide update that basically resulted in the MFGG fourms getting completely wiped. A temporary forum on another site was set up but someone suggested using the old Bowser Technologies fourm and convert it over to MFGG which is what happened in this case.

And that kids, is why the Ezboard MFGG fourms had the Bowser Technologies url.

I had no idea. Imagine learning this 24 years later.
