Funky Monkey

Funky Monkey is one of the many members of Apecord. He is as funky as he is monkey.
== Origins ==
Funky Monkey was born on the faraway, distant island of Monkeyland (unrelated to the discord server with a similar name). His humble birthplace is a small, tropical island far from the jungle where the Apecord lies. With lush jungles, warm beaches, and a smoldering volcano at the center of it, Funky Monkey called this place home for a better part of his life. On the island of Monkeyland, which has not yet been discovered by humans, he would spend his time with his other primate friends. One day, though, he set out to the seas to find a new place to call home. This is when he would eventually find Apecord.
== Apecord Residence ==
After a long journey out at sea, he discovered a place known as r/ape. He was quick to realize that this was a place of many primates like himself. He blended into the subreddit very easily, and was almost immediately informed of the Apecord's existence upon his arrival, although he was hesitant to join at first. Eventually, he decided to join Apecord sometime in September of 2020, although he wasn't active on it until much later. He gradually warmed up to the community, until he wrote his first message onto it when he signed up for a program known as Monke Wars, a cancelled project created by Xenon.
== Occupations ==
=== Bobux Maker ===
Funky used to work at the bobux mint in January of 2021. This is where he gave himself the name Bobux Monky. He ran the bobux generator, while still managing to be very careful to not create too much inflation or to completely crash the bobux economy. Working at the bobux mint was important to him, as he would utilize his opportunity to work there to later create his Bobux Empire, in the Monkeconomy 3.
=== Rapper ===
He also had a career as a small time rapper. He had only posted one song onto Apecord, but had two other unfinished songs and 3 unreleased songs. He wrote his first song and posted it onto #monke-beat-box and was then granted access to #monke-rappers by Big K himself.
=== Politics ===
In his past, Funky was also a monke politician for the Jungle Party. He was nominated by Klon as the candidate for the cancelled 3rd Presidential Apecord Election. During the 2nd Presidential Apecord Election, he was a big supporter of most of the candidates, but most notably Sea Monke and Small Monke. He attempted to influence the election by creating propaganda about it, similarly to Polo.
=== Monkerator ===
From April 3rd 2021 to May 3rd 2021, Funky was a Monkerator on the server. Nominated by Nahster, he made some contributions, notably helping out with server events, improving the role system, and improving bot support on the server. He also helped not only on the quality of life side of Apecord, but he also aided with security, thoroughly checking both the mod log and the audit log, as well as helping out by providing information and ideas during some investigations. The end of his monkeration came when he did too much trolling, as he calls it, with discord crash gifs and giving Grey permissions to kick and ban members to help defend against potential raids. Grey did some trolling himself with this power.
== Contributions to Apecord ==
Funky has made some contributions to Apecord and they are listed here.
He suggested that image permissions should only be granted to confirmed monkes and above. He made this suggestion in light of a raid onto Apecord 1, in which an army of bots invaded the jungle of Apecord and spammed NSFL, as at the time every new member had image perms. This suggestion was thought upon and eventually officially implemented, despite its original controversial nature.
He also suggested the name for Monkeconomy to be Apeconomy, though this suggestion had not received official recognition.
Another suggestion he has made was to either create a second mod log, separate from the main one, only visible by Gordon, Nahster, and the cum crew so that if monkerators delete Dyno’s messages, they can’t fully clear stuff from the mod log. This was to detect and avoid mod abuse.
As a monkerator, he had made some contributions to the Apecord. He had helped improve security by carefully revising the mod log and the audit log. He had also made some improvements with server bots such as Dyno, as well as other quality of life improvements on the server.
== Behavior ==
Funky Monkey used to be active on Apecord on a periodical basis. Sometimes, he had long absences of activity, but those were compensated with long periods of high activity. Later, he became one of the most active (and lifeless) members on Apecord. He was 2nd, right behind GreyLettuce, on the Apecord server points all time rankings.
== The End of the Apecord ==
Funky was still a member of it, but what not present at the time that Nahster deleted the Apecord. He woke up on the 10th of June, 2021, to find the Apecord to have disappeared. The server has been deleted. He started lingering around in many sub-apecords until eventually, he decided to settle down and keep maintaining a factory he built in a neighboring area of the jungle where the Apecord once lied. As of today, he lives in Funky's Funny Factory (which he once planned to publicly open to the Apecord) and works there along with some of his fellow monkeys.
