I don't mean to a smart ass, but you do see the word Mongoose and Sucks in the same sentance frequently.

...except, of course, my old Team Mongoose BMX from the late 70's

1st off, you bought a bare bones entry level "jumping" bike. The fork is less than adaquate. I think if they have sent you 2 forks and you have broken them it is either time to get a new fork (If for some reason you really like the bike) or get a new bike if you enjoy DJing.

or think of it this way...

The fork "sucks" becuase it is a sucky fork. It came on a less than "good" bicycle. If you want to enjoy your dirt jump outings, I suggest you look at upgrading soon before you end up looking for your teeth in the dirt after a bad crash.

I won't rally a Geo Metro and complain if I tear the oil pan off..... Get a bike appropriate for what you are doing. It is clear to me the Ritual is not doing it for you.

In all actuality, the MG Ritual is a well built frame, for the price. The problem definitely lies in the fork and the hubs on that bike. Throw a manitou black or something else cheap and somewhat reliable on the front of that thing, and enjoy. Good quality Profile rip-offs, ok platform pedals, and great tires. So they missed on the fork. What do ya want for $500 bucks?
You running 26"s on it?
