None of the I've seen are members anymore. They don't have a staff badge in their room anymore. I don't think any of them are staff anymore. I think moshi is really close to closing for good.

Staff are people too, they have to be doing this things for a reason. Yeah, but they're probably really dumb reasons. Even if they are good reasons, they could at least tell us what's going on. But, nope, we're all dumb little kids (at least, according to the staff we are), we wouldn't understand.

I think they're going to make the forums a bit more strict, as an article I read says that Moshi is making Moshi Monsters targeted for the ages 4-7, I believe. But, we can hope they won't. And anyways, it's our childhood, but we have a new beginning here. We found a way to contact some RESidents. We can see where everyone else is! C'mon! I say here is our new future. In fact, I have an idea. We made a missing persons thread where you ask if you could find someone, say I wanted to find someone named Small (making this up), and she went mainly on CCer. I would post things that would help us find her, and maybe we can!

To be honest, we probably brought it on ourselves. We were the ones, after all, to break the rules anyway. I don't think it's anyone here, but I know for a fact that there were some bypassing the filter to swear. It's no wonder that they decided to lower the age brackets, that and the amounts of drama and arguments.
But what I don't understand is, why can't Moshi be like Chicken Smoothie. It's suitable for all ages, adults as well as children. Those under thirteen in the US are COPPA'd for safety reasons. Moshi could easily put the minority on COPPA and then they're the ones with the filter. The staff could also be a bit more involving, active and just generally friendly. That's exactly why CS is actually a successful website.

As for the people who DID break the rules, the staff could have banned their account or their IP. I think they were too obsessed with putting people on mods for no reason than banning the people who actually needed to be banned. What's Chicken Smoothie? And what's COPPA? (sorry, I'm dumb xD)

(sorry, I'm dumb xD) Chicken Smoothie is a pet-collecting website, with a forums. COPPA is the "Child's Online Privacy Protection Act." It basically protects children under thirteen to certain internet dangers I believe, such as child predators and such.

I don't know if you guys know this, but there's a distinct difference between CS and MM. ChickenSmoothie is a much smaller site, and most definitely has an older userbase. Also, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't have much of a membership system, if any? I dunno, I only used my account there for, like, a year. CS only costs money if you want clothng or other, optional things. Also, it's much simpler and clearly has a lower budget. It consists of bases and drawings, unlike Moshi, which is a huge, flash-based, interactive experience. Also, I'm pretty sure it's got an older userbase. Why does this matter? Moshi Monsters, being geared towards younger children, isn't nearly as community-based as CS. It doesn't care about forums or anything, it just wants kids who'll buy their memberships and merch and so on. With the age being set apparently even younger, there will likely be even more changes to the forums, mostly kidproofing it. Additionally, Moshi has many more users. CS is much easier to moderate, being so much smaller. Overall, as lovely as a CS-esque forum system would be, look at what we're dealing with. Moshi wouldn't be able to keep it up.

True, Moshi is a flash-based interactive game, I'll agree with you there. But I'm pretty sure CS has a bunch of staff, perhaps that's why it's easier to moderate. They have close to very active admins, admin assistants, (global) moderators, forum-specific moderators and a bunch of volunteers as general helpers. The staff are no doubt a lot nicer, having had a conversation with one or two before. The staff have a huge impact on the website; the Moshi staff should have actually had a forum for updates to explain things, because let's face it, no one really read the Moshi news.
