Hey there, Ostrich101! Been a while! Hope you're doing well.
I saw this thread while doing some late night reminiscing and decided to answer your question in depth because that's what you do with your time when you're a fully grown adult.
You are correct in your assumption that Minus World was basically created for members of the community who really had no interest in fan-gaming development or discussion or maybe they liked those things but didn't want to discuss them 24/7. Keep in mind back in the day on MFGG there was also no general-chat, gaming board or even PPP. It was a strictly fan-game only website. [ i'm not even sure if there was an arts-board. someone will have to fact check me on that]. So when you look at it from that angle, you're pretty much forced to either go somewhere else or create another website.
Another common misconception about Minus World is that it was created to be an "adult" version of MFGG. The only reason it's adult now is because literally every member is early to mid 20s[some even older] but there was no conscious effort to make it an adult site as far as I know. We just grew up. You will too one day and hopefully you'll still be making content here when you do [responsibly of course]. Before all that however it was just a place for MFGG members to chill and talk about things not related to fan-gaming or...Mario.
Finally the main meat of your question: "
Why do Minus World members come to MFGG during drama to cause animosity?"
This is a very multi-layered question as no one will have the same answer to this so I'll just add my 2 cents but first, I'd really love if you could provide examples of when this happened within the past year. I know I personally haven't posted here in forever. I'm also banned on the discord. I know of one active person who still posts on the discord and from my limited knowledge he's mostly harmless and an overall solid dude to have around. So I have to ask again, where is this coming from? I'm not accusing you of trying to stir the pot at all but others could view it in this way.
Now, why do some members come to cause animosity? We don't need to come to do that. You guys seem to do an excellent job of causing animosity amongst yourselves. The most we ever do is amplify the situation and makes things worse which also isn't cool. Your main example of this kind of behavior has been banned for well over 2 years now and likely isn't coming back anytime soon. I personally just liked laughing at whatever crisis was going on here and shitposting because at the end of the day it's a f***ing mario message board and to this day every single "major problem" here has had a more than easy fix/solution to them it's was always just about getting the right person to make the change/do thing.
I hope one day MFGG members will stop viewing Minus World as some place full of boogeyman[AND WOMEN] and weirdos. We're just nerds who need to find another hobby. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk. Read Chainsaw Man
