Back when the site had it's old reign, a member named Kyle was on the forums as K eRa no1, who owned a site called Nintendo Fan Games Central. Little did anyone know that it would be this member that caused a catastrophe.

Kyle at that time had been admin. He was one of the updaters on the MFGG site. He had been doing a good job, getting things done for it.

Suddenly, there was no MFGG to be found. The main site and everything included was gone. But thankfully the forums were still alive. After checking what happened, [Thunder Dragon] had concluded that it was Kyle that had deleted the whole site.

The MFGG forums had transformed from:

  • A topic on Somari
  • A topic on a Metal Slug fangame
  • "ok....."
  • A request for MugenMidget's aid
  • A callout to Trasher
  • A tutorial on crafting Mario-esque paperweights
  • A greeting to all reading
  • A submission of a sprite-library file
  • A question about emulators

to:

  • "Cutty, you have left me with no choice..."
  • A post speaking of how friendly the author is
    with Kyle, perhaps sarcastic
  • A request for a ROM of Sonic and Knuckles locked onto another Sonic game
  • A link to another board
  • A callout to all administrators
  • A worried question about the site's fate
  • An apology
  • A surrender
  • An angry demand to end the madness

There were many posts of flaming, sadness, and grief. Everyone blamed Kyle, because it had been shown that his name had done it. It was this that started many [libs] and a few games with Kyle getting killed, fried, or beheaded. Some included an MFGG sign with a cross on it.

It was not known until later that Kyle was actually hacked by Lexef. People had been shocked, and apologized, but because of their state of grief, still looked down upon him as an evil overlord.

Since then, the site has been moved and deleted after backing up several times. But it was the first time MFGG had been deleted, and without a warning either.
