Moosader was renamed to Moosadee (pronounced "Moose-a-dee") in 2020.
Moosadee was informally created probably around 2008 as a name for Rachel to publish games under. It was officially established as Moosader LLC in 2015 (I think, I could look it up but I don't feel like it).
Beyond just video games, other creative works are now also published under the Moosader name, including zines (magazines), comics, videos, and music.

Over the years, the Moose community has taken various forms.
The community has also established itself on IRC and Discord. The IRC channel is still largely programmers, and the Discord server has channels for gamedev, programming, AND constructed languages.
#Moosader was originally established on the Freenode server on "Oct 02 23:45:25 2010" but was moved in 2021 due to the Freenode acquisition.
There were the message boards that were home to game development competitions, discussions, and more, though now unused.
