Hi Guys

A bit of a sad news...

MMGN's server costs are way too much...

We need to shut down all the images, and slim down all the excess usage for the next month...

To start off with, we are turning off MMGN.com's home page, and all its images... We are also hoping to save a bit of electricity by making the home screen entirely black....

Please avoid going to MMGN's home page, since its too expensive to display...
