Freegoose

Freegoose was the third website used by Jacob Grahn that was active from 2015 to 2018.
It was succeeded by grahn.io for Jiggmin's blog and JV Revival for the community/forum.
==History==
Jiggmin announced intentions to create a "new version of JV" in a public thread on jiggmin.com in 2014."Jiggmin has a new forum". Acid Forums. October 12, 2015. He confirmed he was working on the project in a private Mod Hut thread in March 2015, which was also his final post on the site before its closure."Mod Hut" Jiggmin's Village. March 7, 2015.
Freegoose officially launched on September 9th with a post discussing Platform Racing 4 and explaining why jiggmin.com suddenly shut down a month prior."Platform Racing 4 and the Future!". Freegoose. September 9, 2015. The site was discovered by fans a month later, though there was skepticism due to the forum's incomplete appearance and Jiggmin making no announcement or reference to it elsewhere."Jiggmin has a new forum". Acid Forums. October 11, 2015. This confusion wasn't resolved until June 2016 when his wife posted a photo of them in a thread and confirmed Freegoose was his website."Jacob Grahn aka Jiggmin". Freegoose. June 18, 2016.
===Shut Down===
Freegoose ultimately failed to catch on for various reasons and suffered from little activity. Since Jiggmin didn't announce it or confirm he owned it for roughly a year, users weren't aware of active plans for a replacement site and so made their own. None of his games were on it, and its launch coincided with the quiet retirement of his "Jiggmin" alias, making it difficult for casual fans to find.
The forum's layout was also disliked by many, which was a major departure from previous designs. Posts loading in an infinite scrolling format was a common complaint, which made browsing popular threads difficult, particularly on mobile devices. Many features were also lost during the transition, including profile comments, blogs, albums and groups among others. Users were skeptical on its longevity as well given jiggmin.com's sudden shut down.
The main reason however was Jiggmin's continued inactivity. Despite being created to move the time spent maintaining a forum towards games, none were completed during its existence and only one was ever in development. Apart from Jiber's announcement in late 2017, he otherwise logged in infrequently. Coupled with the dislike of its design, users saw little reason to migrate to Freegoose so Jiggmin closed it in March 2018.
