'''Pedigree''' (originally known as '''SonicProject''') was a regular at [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy|MFGG]]. Pedigree originally joined in [[2002]] to advertise his Proboards forum and primarily worked on projects for [[SFGHQ]]. However after receiving a rating on [[ShadowMan]]'s "Shame-O-Meter" for posting such shameless advertising, he decided to stick around and work on contributing more to the community.
'''SonicProject''' joined [[MFGG]] a few years ago in search of [[fangame]] resources. This was before the forum moved from [[vBulletin]] to [[Invision]] Power Board. His first post was an advertisement for an empty [[EZBoard]] community he had created, ambitious to start a community of his own. Advertisement being frowned upon, he certainly didn't make a good first impression. Whether or not he had improved since is up for debate.

Around [[2004]], Pedigree was secretly promoted to a [[Forum Moderator]] on a trial basis and formally announced to the community forums on September 22nd, [[2004]]. However, this promotion was met with much controversy and the complaints on his actions as a moderator proved too stressful for him. As a result, Pedigree would step down in [[2005]].
  
One thing that can be said about SonicProject is that he certainly keeps to his beliefs... having been in countless arguments with various [[members]] over, what most will say, foolish things. Though he is not the only member who argues, SonicProject argues so passionately when he disagrees with anything that he has caused much frustration among the other [[forum]] members and was, at one time, described as the root of all of the arguments on the forum.

Pedigree had many issues with accepting criticism, anxiety, and self-esteem. These issues often put him at odds with members over the years and had caused unnecessary drama.
  
 +
He hadn't contributed much to [[fangame|fangaming]] with [[Luigi's Pipe Panic]] being his last submission in February [[2012]], with exception of a review submitted in [[2013]] that is. During this period, he would still read the forums but was not actively contributing until Pedigree returned in December [[2016]] with the release of his [[A Boo's Treat Christmas Special]] fangame. He rarely posted afterwards, however. It wasn't until the events of the [[petition to cease development of mario's sticker stage]] and [[The Lockening]] that Pedigree became an active member of the community again. He posted many suggestions in a passionate effort to invigorate the community and he started posting more frequently after finding this passion.
  
=The Ending Became a New Beginning=
+
He began submitting to the [[Sprite]]s, [[Lib]]s and [[Tileset]]s category again in July [[2017]] and used to run the official [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy]] [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] page.
Being the first legitimate member to reach the post count milestone of 50,000, SonicProject decided that it was time to leave. He requested an IP ban from the boards so that he may pull his life back together without an internet forum getting in the way. The text of his final post is quoted in its entirety below.
 
 
 
 
 
''"Alright let me make my 50,000th post a milestone in more ways than one. This post is my last.''
 
 
 
 
 
''Celebrate all you want, you're welcome to. After all, I was quite a bitch to quite a few of you trough a staggering portion of this post count. For that, I do apologize. But you see, everyone needs their place to vent. Get everything off their chest regardless of how ridiculous it truly is. I made this place mine. For that I do not apologize. This was the only place that seemed suitable for it... because this community is one that is full of character and opposing views. Despite being absolutely sick and tired of some of you, I will still miss you... sort of. A good portion of you I respect greatly. Some of them being, probably much to their surprise... Draco, Kaepora, ShadowMan, Medaforcer, Toby, etc. If you think you're one of the ones that wouldn't be listed if I actually bothered to list them all, then you probably are.''
 
 
 
''But don't think I'm doing this as a favor to you. I'm doing it as a favor to myself. My life is centered around the internet. And I'm ashamed of that. It's time to change that. I should've done it sooner. I wish I'd never experienced the internet in the first place.''
 
 
 
''Say what you want about my inevitable return. But in order to enforce the leave, I'm asking the admins to ban this account from accessing the boards via IP. And I'm sure they'll be more than happy to oblige.''
 
 
 
''Bye guys!"''
 
 
 
 
 
A half a year went by and SonicProject returned from his self appointed ban with the assistance of the [[admins]]. He returned with a fresh outlook on life.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
=FYI=
 
*SonicProject used to be a [[moderator]] on the MFGG forums. However, this proved too stressful and he preferred posting as a regular member rather than dishing out the discipline. According to members of the forum, he wasn't good at modding anyway.
 
*SonicProject's fangaming repertoire consists of nothing further than [[minigames]] and various scrapped platformers. Contributions to the [[main site]] in the form of resources are a different story. He contributes enough to warrant a Submitter [[Badge]] anyway.
 
*SonicProject is a constant maintainer of the [[MFGG Wiki]].

Pedigree (originally known as SonicProject) was a regular at MFGG. Pedigree originally joined in 2002 to advertise his Proboards forum and primarily worked on projects for SFGHQ. However after receiving a rating on ShadowMan's "Shame-O-Meter" for posting such shameless advertising, he decided to stick around and work on contributing more to the community.

Around 2004, Pedigree was secretly promoted to a Forum Moderator on a trial basis and formally announced to the community forums on September 22nd, 2004. However, this promotion was met with much controversy and the complaints on his actions as a moderator proved too stressful for him. As a result, Pedigree would step down in 2005.

Pedigree had many issues with accepting criticism, anxiety, and self-esteem. These issues often put him at odds with members over the years and had caused unnecessary drama.

He hadn't contributed much to fangaming with Luigi's Pipe Panic being his last submission in February 2012, with exception of a review submitted in 2013 that is. During this period, he would still read the forums but was not actively contributing until Pedigree returned in December 2016 with the release of his A Boo's Treat Christmas Special fangame. He rarely posted afterwards, however. It wasn't until the events of the petition to cease development of mario's sticker stage and The Lockening that Pedigree became an active member of the community again. He posted many suggestions in a passionate effort to invigorate the community and he started posting more frequently after finding this passion.

He began submitting to the Sprites, Libs and Tilesets category again in July 2017 and used to run the official Mario Fan Games Galaxy Facebook and Twitter page.

On November 30th, 2018, Pedigree has announced that he'll be leaving the staff, saying quote "I have decided to move on from my position on staff".
