This thread is meant as a short encyclopedia of important OT vocabulary and threads. If you don't know what this subforum actually is, click here.
OT: Short form of off-topic (The forum board you're currently in!)
GMT: Short form of Global Moderation Team, the moderation team for osu.
Necro: To necro means to revive a dead thread. This means, posting in a thread that hasn't received activity for a long time, normally around 6 months, bumping it to the front page. Necroposting is seen as something negative, and there is warning in some threads warning you not to do it.
Denizen: Denizen is a title given to some users in OT, this title has no benefits or advantages and only indicates that a user has been active for a long time. You can check the list of denizens here.
Overlord: OT Overlord was a term meant to refer to the person in charge of moderating OT. This term is currently in disuse.
Exile: An exile is the equivalent of a ban in OT, if you're exiled, you can't post or make new threads in OT. You can check the list of exiled users in the rules thread
Wasteland: To wasteland a thread means to remove a thread from OT, making that thread inaccessible for everyone. The term originated from the fact that no thread is ever deleted, but moved to a special subforum only moderators can see.
