Alright, so, for the past little while, the staff has been working on a new message board that uses the much more up-to-date MyBB software. This is intended to be a transitional phase while we wait for the MFGG3 software to be completed.

Currently Implemented Features
  • A completely new skin created by Kritter, using resources by Mit and others
  • Coins, a new currency system
  • Badges
  • A new notification system
  • A like system (called 1-Ups)

To-Do/Planned
  • Create and add all memberbars
  • Add more themes (a minor concern at the moment)
  • Upload and add all missing badges
  • In addition to the above, get the automatic badges like Submitter working
  • A few bugfixes


This topic will be updated with more information as time goes on.

I already told you this, but I'm always down to make some sick themes.

Looks like MFGG is on its way moving forward! PHPBB is a poorly optimized software with bunch of security holes. I will anticipate and accept the changes!

Also it should be mentioned that it's a mobile responsive theme so it should look fine on smaller devices or at smaller resolutions. There's some kinks to work out though, but I'm working on it.

Also before you mention any of it:

- Yes I'm aware of contrast issues in certain places, it's a WIP
- I'm also aware that "MFGG Home" button doesn't really fit, I'm trying to find an alternative.

This topic is relevant if you'd like to see why we're doing upgrading to MyBB. In short, phpBB 3.0.12 is ancient software, and we've found that it's practically impossible to add new functionality to it. We're switching to MyBB so we can move forward with new features, a more modern interface, and better security.

So far, Yoshin and I have done most of the technical work, and Kritter has done most of the work on the skin. We're not done yet, but we've made a lot of progress in a relatively short amount of time. If you'd like to help, go for it! Even if you're not a PHP or CSS wizard, you can always register an account, explore the boards, and comment on the interface and user experience.

Progress is still coming along on this, albeit maybe a bit slower than before. Vinny and I have been trying to reorganize some things on the server-side.
