Died in December 2019, eleven years old, its closure announced with a thank-you and a note about Flash. The record notes it had been the largest British children's site of its era, and that the closing was reported as a nostalgia story rather than a news one.
Moshi Monsters
A British browser world in which children adopted a monster, solved daily puzzles and collected small creatures called Moshlings. The record's entry for the UK's biggest children's craze of its decade: by 2011 it had tens of millions of registered users, a best-selling magazine, a number-one album and trading cards in every newsagent, and it was closed in December 2019 when Flash ended.
Testimony
4 entries · newest firstSomeone remembers a whole class trying to get the same rare Moshling and their teacher printing the flower combination for them. The record files the teacher under allies.
A newsagent in 2011 with the game's magazine at the front of the rack, above the football ones, and a queue of parents holding trading-card packets they had not intended to buy. The record was behind them.
The record notes that the Moshlings were the product, that they came in series like football stickers, and that the monster the child adopted was mostly a place to keep them.
