Village People
The Village People are a 1970s American disco band mostly known for their hit songs "Y.M.C.A.", "Macho Man" and "In The Navy", along with their distinctive and flamboyant on-stage outfits.
On August 18th, 2006, six duplicate accounts were created on the MFGG Forums and a topic was posted in the General Chat by Ray Simpson (the front man and leader) called We are the Village People!
All members of the Village People posted in the thread one after the other. Many MFGGers were amused and bewildered at what was happening. Some thought that Mugenmidget was the perpetrator, since he was permabanned a few months earlier for the Phishfest on April 20th, 2006, and was widely known for creating dozens of dupe accounts. Others believed that the administration was behind the accounts as some sort of forum prank. Due to how well coordinated and fast each Village Person posted after the other, some questioned whether or not more than one person was behind this. Regardless, many MFGGers called for the dupes to be banned.
Shortly after, many of the Village People began posting in the MFGG Awards 2006 Topic, where Felipe Rose said: "Vote me for best Village People member!".
Eventually, Captain Jeff Silvers permabanned all six of the Village People accounts, and then posting: "Apparently it's not as fun to stay at the M-F-G-G." before locking the thread. It turns out that Sergeant Jinpen created the Village People dupe accounts, but was never punished for it.
