Not sure if I'm remembering wrong, but I had really fond memories of there being a Fangame Discussion Forum, and it was my favorite forum on MFGG because people actually talked about fangames on the site, the levels, the difficulty, the bosses, making polls about their favorites.
Back then all the "Developer Discussion" mostly took place in the "Help!" forum, with other dev talk happening in GC or Fangame Discussion. Although I don't see why Dev Discussion and Fangame Talk couldn't both exist nowadays.
Though to be fair, 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. But I wonder if that alone might be a good reason for such a forum to exist, or if such a forum would encourage more fangame discussion?
EDIT: Fangame Discussion did indeed exist, as seen on the old Invision boards archive -- https://archive.mfgg.net/ (thanks @GeneralGuy for sharing it). Turns out it was basically Developer Showcase but it also had a Sub-Forum for talking about fangames that aren't your own.
