Stay

[STAY]
"Stay" is the most dreaded word a tagger can hear. It is the most powerful tool in a classers arsenal, and many newcomers to tagging have been driven away or intimated by the power of a harsh [STAY].

Stay is used in classing, since it is a type of class. It's usually given to someone who has made a new classing topic but is still roughly the same class as he or she was given before.

Sometimes classers will simply state "stay" in a classing topic with no further explanation or a rank. This will be done because they are either too lazy to look up what the taggers current class is, too lazy to type out the full class, or because the classer feels the need to instill his psychological domination over this particular tagger.

History of stay
The first official stay was given to Aperture, [STAY][HIGH INTER] on Jun 27, 2014. "stay" has been used by lazy classers before already, but never before given as an official class. This was done to cement apertures status as a high inter tagger, making sure he would never get classed again. Some classers went as far as giving him an actual "low stay" class in this topic.

The earliest usage of stay dates back to 2013-era Tagfreak, where classing was just introduced. Trekmi says he thinks Rouzer should "stay".

There have been several members who have been born in [STAY], moulded by it. Tension the staylord and Nitride the ex-stay disciple are notable examples of this.
