To provide a bit of history, originally there were two independently organized sets of folios:

• “MF3D Folio I” managed first by Greg Erker, and later by Sam Smith.
• “MF3D Folio II” managed by Brian Reynolds.

The comments page for both sets of folios was a custom-written piece of software by Joel Alpers. When John  Thurston took over the management of “MF3D Folio I – Alpha”  from Sam Smith in 2008, he went looking for an comments solution with a few more features than the jkalpers comment page. John ultimately developed this comments site powered by WordPress. When John assumed management of “Folio I – Beta” in 2009, its comments were also re-hosted here. Beta was retired in 2012, and its members rolled into Alpha.

The jkalpers comments page had continued to be used by “MF3D Folio II” up until early 2017, when the site went down. Tragically, the source code and admin password to the server running the software were lost, along with the archive of the many years of comments.  The folio continued on for a while without a comments solution. In April 2019, Brian Reynolds transferred management of “MF3D Folio II” to me.

At this time, John generously offered to expand this WordPress site to be able to host comments from “MF3D Folio II”, so once again all of the active MF3D folio comments pages are consolidated in one place. The “MF3D Folio II” was renamed “Dragon Folio” under the suggestion of Boris Starosta. This name was chosen as to not be confused with the other active folio at the time of this writing, “Folio A”.

Here’s to many successful years of MF3D folios!
