Going through MGSF on the wayback machine can suck you in for hours. Got several org buttons and the banners that way. Saw myself logged in. Saw others that have since left like GJV, OS., and Skywalker. Saw other names I'd forgotten about.
Not to continue being morbid but to echo what you said about how important MGSF was/is to me and all of us: I made sure my fiancee knows to inform you all just in case something happens in the future.
that's a fun coincedence, I was pissed because PS2 Subsistence screwed my saves so I tried to find my phys copy of HD Collection, gave up, sourced it from Internet Archive, and have been messing around with MG1 and 2 a bit
