The '''General Chat''' forum is the "serious" [[forum]] of [[MFGG]]. While topics are not required to be completely serious, they should at least be discussable. Common topics posted include:
−
At the start of April in the year 2007, ShadowMan started a new policy for the staff members, asking them to ban any associates of Mugenmidget with little reason, and may have the ban last as long as they wish, the longer the better. As soon as this began, Jeff Silvers was fast to jump in, and decided as soon as the member Delmore requested a ban, that he should no longer be allowed back at MFGG due to the request being in the name of a "permaban", which is perhaps the biggest load of bullshit ever, but let us carry on. After this was done, and flawlessly executed, CloakBass became the next victim, being banned for simply bumping a single topic in the Pointless Post Palace. Nightwing was then banned for saying something that apparewntly offended someone, whether he was truly offended by it or not, it still worked, and quite a ban it was, spanning for almost an entire week. While all of this has been going on, members who were previously permabanned had come back to MFGG, even after Jeff said that would no longer be allowed, meaning it was all a lie. It is recommended that at this time, you should not get involved with the following people unless you wish to be banned over nothing:
 
  
−
*CloakBass
+
* News (Unrelated to the [[News Forum]])
−
*Nightwing
+
* Official [[competition]] topics
−
*Press Start
+
* Polls
−
*Mugenmidget
+
* Introduction topics
 +
* Birthday topics

Hopefully in the near future, the staff will snap to their senses, but it appears that everyone is losing their minds ever so slowly, stupid things happening daily. ShadowMan's policy is expected to last for at least until the end of 2009, when he plans on nuking the entire boards "accidentally" for an April Fool's joke, deleting all previous records, making it unable to restore a thing. If the people on the list earlier are all banned, then the policy MAY end, but it is uncertain what ShadowMan will crave after that. He has admitted himself that he is currently suffering from paranoia, fearing that Mugenmidget is planning to do things against him daily, when he plans nothing whatsoever, just points things out when he makes a mistake or typo. He has also admitted his hate for everyone listed earlier, and how he has no respect for them, and wishes more than anything to have them all banned.

Unfortunately, the General Chat is occasionally used in lieu of other forums, most notably the [[The Gaming Corner]]. The "seriousness" of the General Chat has a tendency to scare some members away from posting there. A policy was implemented wherein any member who posts at topic with "I don't know if this is General Chat worthy" will receive a slap with a Cheep-Cheep.

The only current way around ShadowMan's corruption is by heading to the U, but dear reader, be aware that ShadowMan joined that board himself out of fear, and may start some bullshit, hoping to bring it down.

This will now be edited out AGAIN for being too true, probably by ShadowMan himself, since he of course doesn't want honesty like this getting out!

After the death of the [[CCC]], the [[site staff|MFGG staff]] tried to mitigate the loss of [[MFGG]]'s most active forum by adopting a more lenient policy with spam in the General Chat. In reality, however, this merely led to extremely inconsistent moderation and constant drama, contributing greatly to [[The Split]].

After the death of the CCC, the MFGG staff tried to mitigate the loss of MFGG's most active forum by adopting a more lenient policy with spam in the General Chat. In reality, however, this merely led to extremely inconsistent moderation and constant drama, contributing greatly to The Split. Some members lamented the lack of an off-topic board on New MFGG for posting things like "How was your day?" topics or commercial video games, but others have noted that reviving the General Chat might attract some of the unsavory types who have left MFGG. That's not to mention the fact that there are plenty of offsite forums, besides Minus World, which are widely populated by current or former MFGGers.

Tragic was the last General Chat moderator. This role has previously been filled by Joey, Xgoff, Tri, Kritter, Kyori, and Zero Kirby.

The General Chat Strikes Back

On November 18th, 2012, the General Chat returned, in honor of the Wii U's release. Miles was promoted to a global moderator when the General Chat was reopened. The newest iteration of the GC has been less active than it once was, but it's also seen less drama and bickering compared to the General Chat of the first phpBB board, and topics like the new MFGG Wrestling have attracted a good amount of positive activity. For a long time, many MFGGers had requested that a dedicated Forum Game subforum be re-implemented, with gradually increasing demand. On July 25th, 2015, it was finally re-implemented, leading to a massive increase in forum games on MFGG.
