Just thought I would let you all know that on March 17th 2002, MFF was born and I think its quality that we are still around, especially after the past 3 years which haven't been the best but we are all up and enjoying the site again. Some images of the site over the past 6 years.

July 2002 :-)

We have a nice slogan there lol, how horrible is the colour of the site. We were not using vbulletin back in 2002, we were using a free board called www.phpbb.com which is great if you want to start up a new forum.

July 2003 :-)

We changed the colour of the site and the software that runs the forum. I like this design its nice and clean and the colours are good.

Still on the blue style but the page doesn't show up fully. No doubt I have changed the sites style loads during the year lol

What ugly buttons at the top of the site lol, the banner is nice though and was made by Hammer 9. 2005 - 2006 where the better times for MFF look at the stats.

Oh look, another style change haha, this blue didn't last for long, soon after I changed it to the style we have now. I'm still happy with the style and i'm loving the new banner we have at the moment.

2007 was a very quiet year after we started the forums again.

That was just a small trip down memory late. We hope the next 6 years will be all good for the site. We are on a new dedicated server thanks to simonutd and its reliability and speed are much better.

Thanks for posting and keep on enjoying the site. :thumbup1:

That was due to pruning, and the site starting a fresh!!

Looks like you've done a grand job, BB. The site has come on an awful lot since it first started. That can only be achieved by hard work and dedication. :eusa_clap:

I'll pm my address later so you can send me that fifty quid ;)

Haha, it's all good. And on the positive side, you've technically been responsible for two other successful forums, HL and Gizmo's!

And MFF will NEVER die. 'cept if we git hit by a comet or there's a nuclear war. *knock on wood*
