Yoshiman is an old character who is a Yoshi with a rainbow spine, a leather jacket, and a sword. A later character, "DJ Yoshiman" was created and now serves as the current character; he is shown in the picture to the right. He operates as the mascot of the music of DJ Yoshiman.


Please note that any mention of "Yoshiman" after this refers to the member, and not the character.

Joining

Ever since the days of Bowser Tech (watched and joined in 2000), Yoshiman has been interested in Mario fangaming (both aspects of playing and programming) for years. After finding out that Bowser Tech had changed into MFGG thanks to Thunder Dragon, he was overjoyed to finally go to a website devoted to Mario fangames. Over the years he matured. Every next game he would make would improve over the last.

He was previously a loyal fan of Yoshi, and he's submitted 4 libs consisting of Yoshi sprites in the past, one of them being MFGG's "history-making first-ever N64 sprite." He has also submitted several howto's to the site, and was once moderator during the age of the EZBoard, but lost the power with a few others when the board got rid of EZBoard and moved to Invision.

Activity

Yoshiman is an oldbie, being at MFGG when it was Bowser Tech. While most of the oldbies gradually left the forum, Yoshiman stayed, due to the obssession of Mario fangaming. Other oldbies stayed as well, others left and came back. Yoshiman is popular to a few members, and a good friend, but outside of that, is seen as just some member on MFGG.

Yoshiman sometimes gets into arguments which are either given a solution or died out. He swore never to enter the Pointless Post Palace during the EZBoard days, but slowly began to post in it after the move to Invision. He still spends almost all his time in the General Chat, but also spends time in the Casual Conversation Castle.

He's created games in the past that are of questionable quality now, but were of good quality back when they were released. He's collaborated with Mario Gamer to create a series of games for Mini-game competitions, including:

Yoshiman is also notorious for having provided a voice in Paper Mario World.

People

When Bowser Tech changed to MFGG, more people started to join. Yoshiman made many friends with people there due to his friendly personality and other's friendly personalities at that time as well. His first friend was Nite Shadow the Bio Freak, in which they talked every single time each one was online to talk about fangames, life, and for him to show off his sprites. As time moved on, he created friendships with people like Cutman, Dark Yoshi, NeoSalen, Quickman, Neo Hyper Yoshi, Supernesfreak and Ricweb.

He also created an RPG-like rivalry with Doctor Octopus, who kept wishing to kidnap Yoshiman's kittie, "Kishi." This went on for a while and enticed Cutman to create a game about it, called Kittie Quest.

Later on, as people left and people joined, Yoshiman created more friends, while he still likes to talk to oldbies on AIM.

What does this guy do anyways?

Yoshiman was previously made a Fangame Discussion mod in the middle of 2007, where he could moderate a forum that closely tied in with his enjoyment and knowledge of the content for the forum. Later on, in November of 2007, he was upgraded to admin, and has done many things to the forum, including the introduction of the CCC (after Klobber had removed the PPP), the new name-change policy, his weekly announcements, the re-opening/creating of some forums, and even the Final Day Countdown. On March 10th, he de-adminned himself due to university work. However, on March 27, he was made a Global Moderator, after gaining increased flexibility in his schedule.

Currently he organizes the Community Fangame Project.

For recreational purposes, Yoshiman ocassionally posts a new song or remix he's created in the Arts Board.

He currently wishes to do more than let his music he's created sit around on his computer.

Yoshiman uses Clickteam for fangames, while other programs are made with programming languages like BASIC, Visual Basic, Java and C++.

What HAS this guy done, anyways?

Yoshiman has worked with Shadowman to create NCFC, and is also working with him again on the second rendition of NCFC.

He also participated, lead the side of opposition and final-battled Zekewars in the Battle Without Honor or Humility event.

The Final Verdict

While Yoshiman may not have an immense amount of posts, he does have a reputation for being a friendly member, an oldbie (who reminisces about the old days more than necessary) and one of those members that could either barrel you down with sarcasm, encourage you, or make an unexpected post.

Yoshiman requested to be de-modded on May 20th, 2008, due to several reasons.
