			<description><![CDATA[When is the last time you remember there being a review drive? Well, I don't remember as well since based on my knowledge, the last review drive happened over a decade ago hosted by ShadowMan. I think Pedigree might also attempt to do a review drive but I am not entirely sure if it's actually an event or not.<br />
<br />
I went over all of the submissions on the main site and there are numerous games and hacks that were unreviewed. However, unlike last time, we will host a competitive event and see who can be an efficient and insightful reviewer (main site rules still apply to all of the review).<br />
<br />
We will list several games and hacks on a weekly basis (we will refer to this as the â€œweekly listâ€). Each user has to earn points depends on what kind of game/hack they have reviewed. We recommend to review what is listed on the weekly list but you are free to submit a review that is not on the weekly list. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">If your review does not abide to the <a href="https://mfgg.net/index.php?act=submit&amp;param=01" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">main site submission rules</a>, you will not get your points</span>. Depending on number of participants, we will get 1-3 winners based on the highest points. We will update our weekly list on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Here are the rules for points, please understand that the numbers of the reviews apply based on the number of reviews at the start of the week (at the time we update our weekly list):<ul class="mycode_list"><li>5 points - writing a review on a game/hack that is listed on the weekly list<br />
</li>
<li>3 points - writing a review on a game/hack that has no reviews and is NOT listed on the weekly list<br />
</li>
<li>2 points - writing a review on a game/hack that has 1-2 review(s) and is NOT listed on the weekly list<br />
</li>
<li>1 point - writing a review on a game/hack that has 3 or more reviews and is NOT listed on the weekly list<br />
</li>
<li>1 bonus point - writing a review on a game that is on the Hall of Fame list (regardless of time and year)<br />
</li>
<li>There are selected few games that will have additional bonus points like OS compatibility, identifying foreign language, and/or other special situations.<br />
</li>
</ul>
This event will last from 3 to 4 weeks depending on the number of reviews we have received. Each participant who scored over 10 points will be rewarded a special badge! Depending on the number of winners, those who have the highest score will receive a different badge. Winners will be placed in the hall of fame as soon as that feature is complete.<br />
<br />
All right, let's cut to the chase. Here are the list of games and hacks for <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Sept 09 - 15</span>:<ul class="mycode_list"><li><a href="https://www.mfgg.net/?act=resdb&amp;param=02&amp;c=2&amp;id=23867" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Newer Mariodoom</a> (game)<br />

<br />
It's no secret at this point that the userbase of MFGG is fractured. And I mean the whole userbase - including those of us at the top.<br />
<br />
For one reason or another, an undercurrent of bad blood has built up, and it <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">absolutely</span> is negatively impacting the site. It's affecting morale. It's unwelcoming to any newcomers. And I fear that it's causing some people to act out, <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">adding</span> to the problem, not helping to fix it.<br />
<br />
I wonder, sometimes, why people who have such an apparent distaste for an Internet community don't just leave. Why bother staying somewhere you hate being? Why put yourself through that, getting angry, lashing out, getting angry when people push back, it's a vicious cycle. As someone who <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">has</span> left communities before, because they were full of angry, hateful people, and never looked back, I've begun wondering why I stay here, as well. I fear that MFGG is approaching that precipice, and if something isn't done about it soon, it may well fall in and never come back.<br />
<br />
I want it to stop, I want it to change. And there was the answer to my question. <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">I'm</span> still here because I <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">want</span> MFGG to improve and change for the better. That must be why some of these other folks are still here too, right?<br />
<br />
But change does not come easily, and it does not come without sacrifice. It must start from within - before I can change MFGG, what must I change about myself, first?<br />
<br />
I think it's fair to say a lot of this bad blood stems from some certain events in the past few years that resulted in a severe schism, broken friendships, broken trust. I simply didn't witness any of that - or perhaps, I simply didn't <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">want</span> to have anything to do with it. "It's just dumb Internet drama," after all. I simply didn't want any part of it. That, therefore, must be <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">my</span> change. In order to change MFGG, I have to be willing to look at that which I averted my eyes from, consciously or no. I have to hear the whole story - all stories. Not just of that one, but of any other stories that have led to this buildup, that have led us to this mountaintop, this perilous peak from which we are perched, a moment away from falling into the abyss.<br />
<br />
If you are dissatisfied with the state of MFGG - for <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">any</span> reason - send me a PM. Tell me why. Tell me what happened. <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Show</span> me what happened. Be honest. Be blunt. Provide evidence. Point fingers. Take responsibility. If you've got a problem with <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">me</span>, say it straight to me. If you've got a problem with <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">somebody else</span>, let me know. I will not ban you for speaking your honest mind. I will not reprimand you for attacking another user through your PM to me. This is your chance to get it all out onto the table.<br />
<br />
I promise nothing. I cannot promise I'll agree with the events as you tell them. I cannot promise I can fix what you think is broken. I cannot promise I will respond to you, and if I do, I do not promise you will like what I have to say. I cannot even promise that this really will bring the change that is needed so desperately.<br />
<br />
But I will listen. I will give you a chance. I will do my level best not to assume. I will not immediately run to whomever you badmouth to let them know the terrible things you have said about them - that includes the admins. I have no obligation to share any of what you say with them, or anyone - you are speaking to <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">me</span> and nobody else. I may wish for you to speak with them yourselves after what I hear, but I won't simply relay what you say to them. Just as well, please do not speak "on behalf" of anyone but yourself - I want to hear directly <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">from you</span> and not through someone else.<br />
<br />
This is an open invite - banned or no, admin or average Joe. All I ask is that you have an open mind, and share my willingness to change - not just MFGG, but from within, as well.<br />
<br />
Please, help me help MFGG.]]></description>

<br />
The 2018 MFGG User Survey is here! <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbuK-Yd6zvB_JAWlxZLwSk5rlD74qx9kT3JmfnFLqeB8I9kg/viewform?usp=sf_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">Click here</a> to take it.<br />
<br />
This survey shouldn't take much time to complete. You don't need to write a lengthy response for the open-ended questions - a sentence or two is totally OK. You're welcome to include more details if you want, though.<br />
<br />
Be honest! If you have any ideas for making MFGG a better place, or concerns about problems, we need for you to speak up! If there's anything we can do to make your MFGG experience more enjoyable, be sure to let us know. It's OK to vent, but try to be constructive - your feedback is most valuable to us if you offer specific ways to improve MFGG.<br />
<br />
This survey is anonymous - your responses are <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">not</span> linked to your MFGG account, e-mail address, IP address, location, or any other metadata. If you'd like to include your username so we can follow up, you're welcome to do so, but including your username is totally optional. If you share any personally-identifiable details, we'll be sure to keep them confidential.<br />
<br />
This survey is for all MFGGers - even visitors who don't have accounts are encouraged to share their thoughts. Whether you've been here for 17 years or for 17 minutes, we'd like to hear your perspective.<br />
<br />
That said, please don't send more than one survey. This survey is for collecting ideas and feedback - it's not a popular vote, so there's nothing that can be gained from ballot-stuffing or astroturfing.<br />
<br />
Please take this survey within the next three weeks. We don't have a hard deadline, but I encourage you to submit the survey at your earliest convenience. Your responses will play an important role as I develop and implement the Better MFGG Plan!]]></description>

<br />
It's been a while since we've written a Game of the Month topic, and Go! Go! Gooble!! gives us an excellent reason to revive this feature! Q-Nova's latest minigame is one of the relatively rare Super Mario Sunshine fangames on MFGG. In this game, you control a Gooble - the goop-spreading blobs from Sunshine. You're on the run from the Delfino Plaza police force that want to put an end to Delfino's graffiti problem! You try to survive as long as possible while collecting coins and Shines. You earn points for collecting these goodies, and you also get a bonus for each second you survive. At first, the game is simple - you only have to dodge the Fluddroid that's trying to give you a permanent bath. However, as the game progresses, you'll encounter new enemies and obstacles in your path! Most of the graphics are made by Q-Nova himself, and it's always nice to see fangames with distinctive graphical styles. The game also includes an online high scores system, which greatly enhances the game's replay value. If you're looking for a flood of fun, I encourage you to give Go! Go! Gooble!! a go.<br />
<br />
GOTM topics are now back to their monthly schedule, but we're tweaking the format: In even-numbered months, we'll choose a recently-released game that's well-made and creative. In odd-numbered months, we'll invite the community to nominate games for the GOTM, regardless of how long it's been since the game has been released. We hope this new format will continue to reward members who contribute awesome games, as well as giving us an opportunity to recognize fun games that might have fallen under the radar.]]></description>

It's been a while since we've written a Game of the Month topic, and Go! Go! Gooble!! gives us an excellent reason to revive this feature! Q-Nova's latest minigame is one of the relatively rare Super Mario Sunshine fangames on MFGG. In this game, you control a Gooble - the goop-spreading blobs from Sunshine. You're on the run from the Delfino Plaza police force that want to put an end to Delfino's graffiti problem! You try to survive as long as possible while collecting coins and Shines. You earn points for collecting these goodies, and you also get a bonus for each second you survive. At first, the game is simple - you only have to dodge the Fluddroid that's trying to give you a permanent bath. However, as the game progresses, you'll encounter new enemies and obstacles in your path! Most of the graphics are made by Q-Nova himself, and it's always nice to see fangames with distinctive graphical styles. The game also includes an online high scores system, which greatly enhances the game's replay value. If you're looking for a flood of fun, I encourage you to give Go! Go! Gooble!! a go.<br />
<br />
GOTM topics are now back to their monthly schedule, but we're tweaking the format: In even-numbered months, we'll choose a recently-released game that's well-made and creative. In odd-numbered months, we'll invite the community to nominate games for the GOTM, regardless of how long it's been since the game has been released. We hope this new format will continue to reward members who contribute awesome games, as well as giving us an opportunity to recognize fun games that might have fallen under the radar.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[We've finally decided on the two cool people who will be helping us take care of mainsite comment moderation.<br />
<br />
Fun With Despair has been doing a great job of watching over the MFGG Discord, and now he's going to help us increase the fun and decrease the despair on the MFGG mainsite!<br />
<br />
Hypernova will also be helping out as a mainsite comment mod. He has been doing great things as a Tech Admin and helped build the new system for improving comment moderation, so it only made sense to let him make the mainsite hyper-awesome!<br />
<br />
We were impressed by everyone who applied, and it was hard to choose just one (or two, as the case may be!). If you weren't selected, don't despair - we hope you'll apply the next time we're looking for new staff. And regardless of your role on MFGG, making the mainsite a better place is everyone's job - everyone can help out by contributing useful content and constructive feedback on the MFGG mainsite.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[For many years, the mainsite was difficult to moderate. There was no way for mainsite staff to see a list of the latest mainsite comments. This meant we couldn't find a rules-breaking post unless we manually clicked on submissions or waited for someone to report a comment to us. Needless to say, the old system wasn't very effective.<br />
<br />
However, today is a new day in mainsite moderation! I wrote an SQL query that displays all the latest mainsite comments on a convenient dashboard, and <dvz_me_placeholder id="1" /> wrote the PHP code needed to display this query in a Web page. We'll be checking this dashboard on a daily basis, which should prevent new bad comments from mucking up the mainsite.<br />
<br />
And that's where you come in! We're promoting at least one new comment mod to monitor the new comments dashboard and take action on any conversations that need attention. (This person may or may not be a current staff member.)<br />
<br />
We're looking for a friendly, level-headed person who wants to help make MFGG a better place. If you're interested in helping, please send a PM to <a href="https://forums.mfgg.net/private.php?action=send&amp;uid=435" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">this account</a>. In your PM, include a brief summary of why you're interested in this position and why you think you'd be a good fit. Be sure to send your PM by 11:59 P.M. Eastern time on Monday, September 10, 2018.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alright, so, we were going to wait until LumaSMS was done so we could add a new section entirely for them, but with the ETA of that currently nebulous, we decided to allow users to submit hacks under the games section.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">However</span>, this comes with some conditions, which I will detail below.<br />
<br />
1) You <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">must not include any commercial roms with your upload</span>. If you do, we will decline the submission, regardless of anything else.<br />
2) Your submission must be prefixed with [HACK]<br />
3) Your submission must be set to the "hack" gametype<br />
4) You must specify the base game, console and region in the description, to make patching easier for players<br />
<br />
Thank you for your attention and time.]]></description>
