New TBGers cannot make topics. If you make... 25? 50? replies you'll become a regular TBGer, and then have access to topics.
It's 20 replies.
good morning, SMF!

Fun Fact: Exposure to excessive blue light at night can harm sleep, because blue light tells your brain that it's daytime. To avoid this, I HIGHLY recommend a little program called f.lux. It makes your display warmer at night when the sun sets, reducing blue light exposure at night. Click here to get f.lux. Apparently a small study from Brigham Young University is casting doubt on this old belief, I'll have to keep an eye on this and see if it's reproduced by a larger study/studies. I'll still probably use f.lux even if it is just a placebo because looking at a bright blue screen in a room lit with a warm-white light is kinda obnoxious.

Current tbgs utilities have to use something to scrap the webpage, which is complex.
To my knowledge, FluxBB itself doesn't have an API, so we wouldn't be able to easily add one to the TBGs.

Due to spam we disabled the ability for New TBGers to make topics - once you hit 21 posts, you'll become a regular TBGer, which lets you post topics in addition to other things like editing your posts.

Probably not - the forums would need to be made anew.

When I sign in, I wanted it to always log me in. Why was I logged off after I clicked a link to other topics in the TBGs?

Maybe you're using the HTTP version and you're clicking links to the HTTPS version, or vice versa. Either way the HTTPS version's probably better to use anyway.

Side-note, for anyone wanting to use the HTTPS version of the site, use this:

/ ==UserScript==
// @name         TBGs HTTPS-inator
// @namespace    https://Tymewalk.github.io
// @version      1.0
// @description  Replace HTTP links to the forums with HTTPS ones
// @author       Tymewalk
// @match        tbgforums.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';

   var tags = document.getElementsByTagName('a');

   // This loops over all of the <a> tags.
   for (var i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {

  // This replaces the href attribute of the tag with the modified one
      tags[i].href = tags[i].href.replace('http://tbgforums.com', 'https://tbgforums.com');
}
})();

It'll automatically fix all links on the forums so they direct to the HTTPS versions.

You can add it as a new userscript in addons like Tampermonkey.

Increasing minimum posts to become TBGer from 21 to 40-50 sounds kinda reasonable, or even just 30 (where did 21 come from?)

You have the New TBGer status when your post count is anywhere from 0 to 20. Thus, when making your 21st post, you still have the New TBGer status until you hit Submit. That is why the number is said to be 21.

I personally don't think a one post difference is going to change anything though...

MFG files can be basically anything as far as I know, so long as you don't need more than 7
