Cutman is a fangamer who once worked with TGF and CNC before moving on to other projects and engines. He has small talent spread over a variety of subjects. His personality and attitude are rather random at times. He was owner of MFGGU alongside Mugenmidget before its closure.

History
Cutman is considered to be one of the Oldbies thanks to being a member of MFGG longer than most of the other users. He started as a member on the old EZboard forums but his personality was that of a jester.
Once joining he soon invited his friend Doctor Octopus to join and mess around on the board. The two were always seen posting together and many questioned if they were the same person or not.
Cutman was one of the people involved in the Great Kyle Flamewar and was one of the victims of trying to defend MFGG by getting a ban from Kyle.
Eventually Cutman was unbanned, but soon left because he "got bored", as did Doctor Octopus soon after, however they still remained on AIM and MSN to continue talking to their MFGG friends (mainly Kritter and Mugenmidget).
When the new vBulletin forum was created, Cutman returned as a lurker, and only posted in small bursts over the a large period of time. He usually wanted to start a spamfest or just post random pictures of horrible things to get banned out of boredom. Cutman received several bans due to this.
Cutman eventually returned to his old self and came back to MFGG as a regular member again, however he changed his appearance to "CutGoth" to stand out from having a 0% original character, although many just still refer to him as Cutman.
Leaving and Permaban
Cutman left the forums on September 4th, 2007, making one final post in the General Chat as a thread titled Leaving MFGG, fo 'realz, due to the huge amount of drama spread across the boards, which he realized after taking a week off from the world of the internet for a holiday. He revealed that The Face was actually him all along, ending years of speculation. He was still active on DeviantArt, ZDoom.org and many other places, such as IM. As the newly appointed admin, Cutman focused all his time on MFGGU instead.
A little over a month later on October 7th, 2007, Cutman was permabanned from the MFGG Forums for changing the avatar of his joke account "The Face" to a gay pornographic image with a picture of the moderator Joey's face pasted on it (as Cutman was not happy with Joey's promotion to moderator). Since Cutman had already left the forums for good, however, this ban meant nothing in particular to him. "The Face" was a special gimmick account that Cutman had been allowed to create a long time before, for joke purposes. The Face was also permabanned at the same time as Cutman was.
The Great Mistake
The Great Mistake happened on February 18th, 2008, when Jas allowed Cutman access to the re-instated "The Face" account, which had been given administrative powers as a prank. Cutman, alongside Biddy, who had taken control of "Landmaster" (also given administrative powers), then proceeded to destroy MFGG, demoting all of the mods/admins and removing all the boards. Luckily for MFGG, Admiral Delmore had received a last minute promotion to admin from Jas before she was demoted, and ended Cutman's reign. However, as the board was long gone, a backup copy of the forums from January 7th, 2008 needed to be restored by Retriever II.
Aftermath
The MFGG Forums were returned to a forum backup copy made on January 7th, 2008 by Retriever II. This resulted in all newly registered member accounts, posts, threads, badges, name changes and staff changes made since then being completely erased from existence. Retriever II made a thread about the incident in the General Chat titled MFGG is restored.
The Great Mistake also caused the closure of the MFGGU forums as well. Immediately afterwards, The Face was not only permanently banned, but was also deleted from the database altogether by the administration. Landmaster was also deleted from the database, but not at the hands of the administration. The Landmaster account was created as the 5000th member ID on the MFGG Forums sometime between January 7th, 2008 and February 18th, 2008 by Biddy as a joke account. As a result, the January 7th backup automatically and inadvertently caused the Landmaster account to be erased from the database. Cutman and Biddy both remained permabanned.
Current Whereabouts
Today, Cutman mostly works on his Doom projects such as Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch, and is still active at his homepage Cutstuff.net.
Trivia
Although Cutman is always obsessed with The Face, he is actually one of the most severely effected from the event. Ever since Cutman tried so hard to find what was wrong with the picture and get screamed at by The Face, Cutman has become severely jumpy and paranoid. He believes however that only a sissy would suffer from such a small event so he continues to spread The Face around.
Creations
- Kittie Quest - A Fangame based on the MFGG topic which involved Doctor Octopus stealing kittens.
- Fat Sonic - A strange game made for humorous reasons.
- The Face - Although Cutman didn't actually create the flash movie or the picture, he created the legacy by calling it THE FACE in the first place.
- Hypernewbie123456789 - A joke account created a long time ago to annoy members.
