oh that takes me back to go back even further back in like 2011/2012 a really big thing was this guy who spammed RES with "GO TO MMRU" and various icons it was the pettiest thing tbh moshi in general was just a pile of weird fights with weirdly-named OCs populating it

Oh man the oc names........... shit man........... my heart goes out to Sock, Lurid, Confounded Rectangles, and every single character on Punz's account ever.
Speaking of Punz do you guys remember how people would announce leaving and everyone would be really sad and then theyd come back in a day and be like "hey" alternatively, when theyd leave for two weeks and come back like "hey idk if anyone remembers me..." AND ALTERNATIVELY, my personal favourite, when people would claim to leave, make a new account, and be like "HI I'M NEW :-) A friend told me about this site! Can someone teach me how things work here?"

it was such a frequent thing it was honestly kinda funny I remember arguably one of the worst though like, back in 2012/2013 there was someone named Dods(I think it was Dods?) who claimed to be an orphan with cancer of course, they weren't over-the-top about it and sounded rather convincing to a bunch of 12-year-olds and then one day dods died and their friend, doe, showed up everyone freaked out and they were sad and considering dods had talked all this up for months no one REALLY expected it to happen but doe said that dods' dying wish was that doe could get into RES so she basically waltzed in like "dods is dead but she wants me to be here it was the last thing she said to me!!!" overall I think this is like the pinnacle we never really found out how much was fabricated but in hindsight I'm surprised there weren't any major skeptics of the entire thing because yeah it was a suspicious mess

OH MAN typing colors. that was wild tbh you started associating a specific color with a specific person and to this day i still associate some of those colors with people i met there MAN I MET ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS THERE??? WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA MEET THIS SUMMER and i met josh there and we met this past summer too holy crap pages. one of my friends couldn't keep one going for more than like two hundred replies because it either got deleted at like 60 or he just flat out abandoned it and i locked one of my first few and was like halfway through my second before everything imploded hAH I HAD A WHOLE LITTLE SQUAD IN MY EARLY RES DAYS god i miss it so bad tbh i don't think any of us have interacted with each other as a group in literal years now and i think i might be the only one still in contact with one of them because they sort of seemed to just stop talking to everyone else they met at RES we just ended up close and kept talking it has been almost 3 years NAME CLAIMING!!!! HOW EVERYONE USED TO GET SO MAD IF YOU HAD A NAME THEY WERE USING HOLY CRAP ALSO RES'S PURE /HATRED/ OF MOSHI ICONS THAT NEVER REALLY MADE SENSE TO ME hey random fun fact i was technically the reason one of the staff threatened to delete RES back in the day i believe i've told this story more than once AND THE 'EH' YOU COULD ADD TO YOUR NICKNAME IF YOU REACHED A CERTAIN 'RANK' ALSO, THE RANKS??? GOOD GOD ITS LITERALLY BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS SINCE I JOINED RES AND ITS FREAKING ME OUT BECAUSE I DONT USUALLY STAY ACTIVE ON SITES THAT LONG well this isn't counting the whole random like three month absence i had but i mean i've never truly left RES except for once in 2013 that lasted probably 18 hours I STILL USE WORDS FOR MY CHARACTERS NAMES SOMETIMES digit and ice man they're like almost two years old now? my main characters people actually remembered them i had someone put their names in roles i'd reserved in a roleplay and i'd never even mentioned who i was gonna use and they were right
MAN NOW IM SAD BECAUSE IM REMEMBERING THE PEOPLE I DONT HAVE CONTACT WITH ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THIS WHOLE OVERHAUL THING

no comet you haven't told that story
RES WAS HONESTLY FULL OF NAME DISCOURCES LIKE SMEONE WOULD PULL A WORD OUTTA THE DICTIONARY AND BE LIKE "does anyone have this" AND SOMEONE WOULD CLAIM YES AND THEY'D FIGHT AND SOMEONE IN THE CORNER WOULD BE LIKE "who names their kid balcony" also I know why people hate moshi icons in RES back in like 2010-2012 there was a girl named Dani who made dirty jokes and soared up the ranks and basically she associated the icons with sexual assault for reasons unknown and so everyone decided to ban them because she kept calling them weird stuff I miss RES too tbh

*cough cough* Kanye West would probably name his kid Balcony *cough cough*
I have to admit I have my share of random names- see Tarragon Calypso Odysseus
Like I could fill up the periodic table with my OCs named after elements Though that's just so that ship names are easier- for example, instead of doing something like 'OxyHy' for Hydrogen x Oxygen, I could just use H2O
I once caused a war in Contest Central because I remembered something really random from when I was probably like 7 and on this site, I think it was that they used to call themselves 'CCookies' at one time? long story short I ended up causin this one person to spam the whole category with 'CCER NOT CCOOKIE' It went on for like 3 days tho so nothin too catastrophic

Okay, so on RES from like 2013 to 2015 I ran this RP called The Island Of King it was a fantasy/sci-fi rp thing people came and went but there was a core group it was on its 7th and final part when a friend bumped the third one bc nostalgia someone literally copy-pasted the rp plot into their own thing pretty sure it was called The Frozen Queen or somethin but like it's like they ran my plot through a thesaurus it was the EXACT SAME people get sent to an island fight to the death yaddah yaddah they even changed the names only slightly Royal Sanctuary Labs became Monarch Point Labs or something overall: blatant ripoff so naturally I come in like "friend hello why did u steal my rp everyone don't join it's a stealery" annd she of course calls be braindead and after bumping my compltely identical rp which was the same people STILL took her side and so she made a second one and I shut that down and a third and I shut that down and so on and so on so eventually I'm just like "ok you can have your dumb ripoff if you credit me" she cusses me out and tells me and a bunch of people defending me to go die the end or at least for a couple of weeks THE SAME THING HAPPENS A WEEK LATER RINSE AND REPEAT and so then I think i'm free bc this time more people took my side and this time she ripped off my ocs too so yeah there's a fight she leaves ONE MONTH LATER a completely new account pulls the same stunt my rp gets stolen another half a dozen times and the plot and title only deviate slightly every time but are still obviously identical to the original and I'm like "okay new account and all but I know you're just stealing my rp AGAIN" and so they of course cuss me out AGAIN and people take their side again and start cussing me out and by the end of it I just quit RES tbh
