What does the turnip mean?

[hector13]

It’s a swede.

[Ziusudra]

Some call it a rutabaga.

[ChairmanPoo]

Some call it....

These aren't normal memes, these are... Euromemes.

[nenjin]

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat.

Another banned topic on the forums because people literally couldn't stop themselves from fighting.

What is it about certain topics (And I mean that in general, MLP for example, not just as a euphemistic way of talking of the latest one) which are, if we're being honest, comparatively minor, that causes this to keep happening?

[Egan_BW]

No idea for the ponies, that was before my time, but I can see how open source volunteer game development could get a little... iffy, socially.

[Eschar]

Which game thread? (My guess is the CDDA thread, again.)

People being very passionate and forgetting to take it chill.

I still don't get how CDDA can generate so much damn drama, I mean I've thought about joining Github and contributing to the game but every time some massive drama thing happens and keeps me from joining and quite frankly I think I'm better off from not getting involved with that shit.


Does anyone know if it's a permanently banned or temp banned topic, because it seemed it might not be permanent.

[hector13]

Pretty sure there have been issues with it before, so Toady might just nip it in the bud if people can’t maintain chill.

[King Zultan]

Makes since, I think they were on their sixth or seventh thread now, not counting the two that were locked before thy started.

It's the Internet and a pretty nerdy section of it, are we really Netizens if we don't fight each other over random bullshit like roguelike game development?

Toady said "for the moment" so it's probably temp banned.

Honestly I don't mind taking a break from the discourse about the game for a few months. Best for everyone's mental health.

I'm still not sure I understand, even conceptually, how discussions about developing for, or playing, a game can result in such heated conversation.  I mean is it like tabs-vs-spaces fistfights?  Or stuff about the game content?
