Someday soon I need to restore the GMD.

The SilverCreator Plaza is a continuation of the SilverNetworks Plaza (est. 2000), where the second iteration of the GMG forums were started. (the first iteration was on EZBoards)

The GMG forums grew quite large so it was necessary to separate them from SilverNetworks. That's when the great split occurred and all of the GMG forums moved to a separate YaBB forum system. Things were fine for a while.

For whatever reason Syco felt it was necessary to launch the "GMU" (Game Makers Underground). He never launched anything more than a forum designed to exclude me from posting there. Posting was way down on the GMG Forums and I decided to close them down, as they were no longer being appreciated. However, the GMG hosted the official GameMaker forums, so the decision was made to hide all of the old GMG related boards, except Trash Talk. They are still there in the GMD database.

Ghost came along recently and launched the new GMG - the second iteration of the site and the third iteration of the forums.

^_^ I'm surprised at the complexity of GMG history

it would be so cool to integrate graphics of characters from peoples games into the site design. ghost should let you do that, hes not even around much anymore

That sounds like an awesome idea.

Ghost said something about updating the site a while ago. He is busy in college and whatnot currently.

I'm working on giving you guys control of the website. I'll be adding more admins etc. over the month of March. Started with the forums, now I'll move on to the cpanel, and then FTP accounts to select users.

It looks like I'm a moderator on every forum now, so I changed my name to GMG Mike.

I am still against the post counts "transferred" from SNET. The Plaza is still an active forum. If you add up the post counts from here and from the same account on the Plaza, the number of real posts is grossly overstated. It would be different if the Plaza were closed down.

I found this banner for the new gmg on jeremymaharg's site. It seems reminiscent of the old gmg logo.
