Game downloads, and hence bandwidth consumption have rocketed through the roof, even during our non-summer months which are supposed to be our lull period. I will be trying to renegotiate my hosting package in the meantime, to try and expand our capacity. Failing that, I may need to introduce inline google ads on the forum, which I've continuously put off. But, let's not worry about that detail until I've had a chance to talk things over in a sales chat. Game downloads will be re-enabled December 1st. You can still post and download material from the Fangame Discussion forum. Currently the other sections are unaffected, but I may need to disable them as well if I don't get the numbers I'm looking for. --------------------

The numbers haven't really dropped off much since August, which is contrary to what they did last year.

Except half of the main-site are a bunch of lunkheads with no common sense or the ability to accept the fact that they make crappy stuff

Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.

You might want to think about how much space MFGG's contents actually take.
