### 🎣 Welcome to the MFN Revival Project! ![image](https://mfn.fishing.net.my/uploads/default/original/1X/1cb6331556f02e6e850e3b8c527ed0eac6eb0d76.jpeg) **Good evening, fellow Fishos! 🐟** We’re thrilled to announce… the **MFN Revival Project** is live! Yes, the old forum many of us grew up with — swapped tales, shared photos, argued about knots — is back, and better than ever (okay, _we’re trying_ 😅). * * * ### 🧓🏽 Welcome Back, OGs! We invite all our **original members** to return, reclaim your accounts (using your old email), and reset your passwords to dive right back in. Massive thanks to **Vincent** , the wise one who backed up the original MFN forum and passed it on in hopes it might one day be revived. Today’s that day. * * * ### 🤖 The Tech Bit (Skip If You’re Just Here to Fish) Reviving MFN wasn’t easy. The old system was… well, a bit _vintage_. We faced schema fossils, broken migrations, and 2000s-era username wizardry. But with some persistence (and a fair bit of AI magic), we’ve successfully imported **800,000+ posts** into a shiny new **Discourse-powered** home. * * * ### 🆕 What’s New? - **Modern UI** (mobile-friendly too!) - **Groups** — Perfect for fishing clubs to have their own private spaces - **Notifications, tagging, better search** — no more digging through page 47 of a thread It’ll take a little getting used to — especially for those of us whose hairlines (and memories) may have receded since the MFN heyday 😅 — but you’ll settle in quickly. * * * ### ⚠ Some Quick Notes 1. **Usernames:** You’ll notice your username might look like `XX_9999`. That’s because some of our OG usernames were _too legendary_ for modern systems to handle. Don’t worry — check your post history, verify it’s you, and **you can update your username anytime**. 2. **Images:** Many images hosted on services like Photobucket may not have survived. If you still have your originals, we’d love for you to re-upload them and bring those old memories back to life. 3. **Posts:** With over 800K posts imported, some glitches or duplicates may have crept in. If you notice anything weird, flag it or let us know — we’re still tidying up the reef. 4. **Signatures:** Discourse does not support repetitive signatures to avoid clutter, so your signatures have been migrated into your bio. However badges will be added soon to represent clubs/achievements etc. * * * ### 🫵 Come Say Hello! Treat this as a **Welcome Back** thread too! Say hello, reintroduce yourself below and connect back with old friends. Just head out to [https://fishing.net.my/](https://fishing.net.my/) to login and reclaim your account (or sign up and join us!) Let’s breathe life back into MFN — together. See you on the boards! - **Jobe** **The MFN Revival Crew 🎣** ---

Wont promise but let me know the old email ill see if I can merge the accounts. Discourse has some features on this. Ill prolly scope in some OG referal for cases like this so it wont be abused, but I still want to make sure all OGs get their badge when the time comes. ---
