Call them whatever you like to call them

It originated in 1981, from a book called Who Censored Roger Rabbit? and later the movie in 1988 titled Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Here's the wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Cen...oger_Rabbit%3F

Also, I just checked and a simple search in google of 'origins of the term toon' brings you to a few pages that reference the movie and the book.

I was referencing the use of the word in the MMO sense...But, I do thank you for taking my post entirely out of context. In the future, I'll be more clear.

Also, more specifically, since we're now taking this conversation out of context, it was originally used for "Toon Town"...

I don't think the movie ever made it to the MMO world, however, Toontown the "MMO" did in the early 2000's.

It was still being used in UO, EQ, et al...Long before it became a game.
