Revision as of 22:50, 19 February 2008
MFGGU (MFGG Underground, affectionately known as "the U") is an elite community founded by Mugenmidget and Delmore and composed of various friends and fellows. Although "MFGG" is included in the name, it is unrelated to Mario or other purposes of the original MFGG, and is labelled thus only because it was founded because of it. Due to arguments between the founders, Delmore was eventually kicked out of the U, and Cutman took his place.
The primary purpose of the U is to provide a community similar to that of MFGG, but free of excessive stupidity. New members are approved or refused by popular opinion of the existing members, which causes a slight problem; U members are generally very friendly with each other, but unfair towards those the community dislikes.
The U is rather occult in that it does not take kindly to happenings within it being spread out to foreigners. It remains very secretive and only speculation and espionage can reveal any intricacies.
On February 18th, 2008, the U and its wiki were indefinately closed from The Great Crash of '08.
Controversy
MFGGU is commonly seen as a negative forum despite having a strong sense of community and a large amount of followers.
Various discussions have made their way into the PPP or General Chat regarding the U and MFGG and is usually a constant debate over which forum is greater (or worse). The discussion often becomes heated quickly until the threads are locked and members banned for flaming each other and/or bringing up an outside dispute.
Instances such as Nightwing's "dupe school", a forum on MFGGU set up on September 5th of 2007 to give information/tips on how to thoroughly set up a duplicate account, as well as nothing but negative articles on MFGGU's wiki about MFGG members, making it a form of an Encyclopedia Dramatica aimed towards MFGG, do not help to relieve the animosity between both of the communities.
These arguments led to the forum's nickname of "The Cancer". Those against MFGGU use the nickname to refer to the board's negative impact on MFGG, while MFGGU members mockingly use it to ridicule anti-U members.
History
I need somebody to write a brief history here
Founding
Playtime's over
On September 23rd, unofficial members would find that the forum has been removed. This includes the Dupe School and Bizarro sections of the playpen. The funbyss remains but is still password protected. As such, members registering to the U could no longer prove themselves in order to be allowed on the U. "Official" MFGGU members may post that they approve such members based on what they know of their behavior at other forums such as MFGG.
When Joey was demodded from MFGG and finally left, MFGGU celebrated by reopening the playpen.
The End of the U
Someone please explain why / how the U was closed from this, or if it's just a joke.
