I've been on MFGG for 15 years now

**GeneralGuy** · 08-15-2021, 05:59 PM

I first joined the Mario Fan Games Galaxy main site and message boards on August 15th, 2006 after searching tirelessly and finally finding Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga sprites for my RPG Maker fangame called Mario & Luigi: The Crystal Star Mountain. The main site I registered on first at 3:37 PM EST, and the old Invision forums less than an hour later at 4:16PM EST. I was only 15 years old at the time, and I was just about to start 9th grade in high school. I can't believe I've spent half my life here. What an awesome time it's been. I've made so many friends here, learned how sprite, made a fangame, played online games like Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Version with other MFGGers, discuss gaming and life news, be a part of many forum fads, and so much more. This place has positively shaped the last few years of my childhood and I'm glad I found this place.

Dang that is a long timmme

It's amazing we're such oldbies in regards to this place but can still enjoy MFGG as if we were newbies, haha. Happy 15th Marioversary :P

Yeah, it really is. I guess I'm an oldbie, but MFGG is so awesome that it still feels interesting and new to me. Thanks KPP! [Image: soveryhappy.gif]

How long have you been here for?

I'm 30 years old, but I feel like I'm 15/16 years old. Time flies by way too fast.

Cool username and avatar by the way (Wario is awesome). Welcome to MFGG!

Thanks ~Smoke~

Fun fact: Smoke also first joined the MFGG forums on August 15th, 2006. Like an hour or two before me. He was Member #2504 and I was Member #2505.

**darkblueyoshi** · 09-06-2021, 01:16 AM

10 years here, we're so old. My Yoshi eggs should be hatching by now.

That fact is very fun. I had no idea. i must've been 11 years old at the time, learning Photoshop and how to do art properly on MFGG

**Jazz** · 09-07-2021, 11:40 AM

I remember you Smoke, you showed in my comics I did back then like twice.

**Hypernova** · 09-07-2021, 08:56 PM

13 years here. Nearly half of my life was involved at MFGG.

**Damarioman** · 09-08-2021, 12:02 AM

I posted my first sprite sheet some 11 years ago now in 2010. Man, I was still in grade school back then. I'm no longer a very active member, either here or on the main site, but it's hard to fathom how this place has been in my life for damn near half of it.
I really should try to get back into spiriting, at least for old-times sake.

**Tech** · 09-12-2021, 01:03 AM

Crazy to think I was here when I was 14 at the time. Originally joined in 2004, and spent most if not all my free time on here, until 2007, and while most sites I was active on back then no longer exist or died, I'm glad this is still around.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING

DELETE THIS THREAD GENERAL.

**HylianDev** · 09-14-2021, 03:03 PM

november 11th will be 15 years for me

as soon as i got to this place, it became one of the biggest facets of my life. and i cant really say that's ever changed, at least in the sense that i still have video games & toying with technology at the front of my mind at all times.

strange how the four-or-so years that i spent at this place from 2006-2010 have been more impactful than the 11 that would follow

Wew. I just happened to drop by because I was feeling nostalgic. I was a big-time lurker and occasional-participant on the old taloncrossing boards. I honestly don't remember when I first joined.

I definitely remember you, GeneralGuy, and I remember a lot of the others in this thread.

Cheers Cool

PS: Anyone else remember MFGG-Ware? Wink
