You didn't ask for it, so here it is - where the term Bannanachair comes from. First, some things that I've never actually heard as theories but that people probably have in their minds debunked. It is not a reference to a book or movie that you have not read or seen (to my knowledge). To verify that you can do a google search. I wasn't even the first person to use the term on ROBLOX, but I'll get to that later. And wow as I'm looking through the rules thread I am noticing a lot of other stuff that came from roughly the same time period that stuck for quite a while.
Anyway, what would evolve to become a phrase that would literally divide a whole community and cause countless flamewars started back in 2013 (or maybe even 2012, I dunno) with some guy called l0ldude or something along those lines and my not understanding what to do with siggies on collabs, or really what a siggy even was given that I'd been on RP for literally less than a year by then. l0ldude had an even more severe impact on the development of my ego than even Bannanachair the first time that we talked, but that's a story for another day. Anyway, I'd just watched a YouTube video about different numbers of dimensions in euclidean space to make me seem smarter and wondered "hey, what would an RP in a different number of dimensions look like?", so I posted a collab and l0ldude (who was already something of a friend by that stage) posted on it and we started collabing. Overall it was about a zombie apocalypse taking place in the same world that Flatland took place in, but just without the political message behind all the classist segregation and whatnot. The RP died within a few pages, but one thing in the collaboration struck me as being awfully stupid retrospectively. Because it was being written by two people, not one, I thought that everyone involved in the project should put their siggy there. l0l didn't have a siggy but made one up on the spot, and I honestly don't know what I did. l0l's siggy was "all humans are 50% banana", and thus began the downfall of RP.
In late 2013, at the height of both what I'm calling the golden age of RP and my ego, I figured out how to get an automatic siggy poster. By this stage I knew a bit more about how siggies worked, but just needed a good siggy - so I plagiarized what I thought was funny. As he'd only said it once I thought that nobody would notice, and because literally nobody in all of ROBLOX history pays any fucking attention at all to any siggy unless it's mine and mentions bannanas, I thought nobody would even give a damn. I was very wrong. I shall now copy and paste the relevant posts from page 6 of the rules thread on ROBLOX.
True fact: Humans are 50% bannana"
True fact: Humans are 50% bannana
in that logic we are both made of molecules therefore we must be a chair
True fact: Humans are 50% bannana and 50% chair
And thus began the downfall of RP. I had found the perfect ingredients to mix into a siggy that for some reason people seemed to give a damn about. Now all that's left are two crucial factors - The first utterance of the term "bannanachair" and my insistance upon declaring myself the "bannanachair king" - and you have the mainstays of the term, up until even today. In fact, the term Bannanachair was uttered almost immediately after I had decided upon what it would consist of.
WHY THE HELL AM I HERE I THOUGH I WAS PLAYING SKYRIMWTSGFHGS
The next few pages are a combination of flamewar and the idiocy that passed for me as humour when I was thirteen. Although the thread contains lots of good memories in the early pages (both the origin of the alt "Timepockie" and the Roleplay Council, alongside behavioral patterns that I'd call "protopookie") lots of it is also rather embarrassing, such as me attempting to assimilate the phrase "lol" into my regular vocabulary and my occasional lack of using a spacebar for humourous effect.
Moving on, I honestly have no idea where the fuck the term "Bannanachair King" comes from. I suspect that it comes from just after Christmas, 2013, because my ever-changing siggy included requests for donations to save the "endangered species" of Bannanachair (requesting all of the donators money), a notice that Bannanachairs had gone extinct and then a letter to Santa Claus requesting that he bring all the Bannanachairs back to life, all from the few months that I was more active on MTVB than RP. So yeah, maybe try scouring the wayback machine or something, because all old MTVB threads have been completely erased from existence.
I expected this to be longer. Maybe I'll do something about the history of the Bannanachair siggy after that, and how it evolved from just a siggy to a running joke and then a community-splitting forum that still causes controversy among some of us even eight months after it was started. I'll let you guys decide.

Alezendria, my RP's go into detail to explain what's happening. Your RP's are ten words and a bad CS. I have proof to justify my claims, if you want the links.True fact: Humans are 50% bannana"

Its true, actually. We are both made of carbon, so in a way, we can be part banana.Timpookie said:
There, some science to backup my siggy! Thank you!True fact: Humans are 50% bannana
