    Tachy Goes to Coventry

    Anyone notice 'Tachy Goes to Coventry' in the vB3 beta 3 options. What the heck does that mean?

      I know, but what does the phrase 'Tachy goes to coventry' mean?! It sounds like the title of some episode of kids show....

        Haha, it reminds me of "Ernest Goes to Camp" or something.

          I guess the joke is that no one want to go to Coventry in the UK. Not exactly sure why. Global Ignore User is probably a better name for it.

            Yea, but I like that setting. The name just adds more fun to it.

              Not sure what the tachy means.

              But there's a popular UK phrase; sent to conventry which basically means, you're ignored by everyone. Hehe.

              Guess someone on the dev team has a sense of humor

                If they rename it in another release, I will manually change it back. It's a funny name for a setting. LOL

                    That's so cool ... the most evil option out there has the most stupid name.

                    This function might become the most talked about feature ever. It's evil, useful AND funny. No chance, it WILL become a legend!


                    By the way ... I somhow believe, that the devs simply forgot to rename it for the public release. ^^
                    But if they ever wanted to change it, we would have to stop them!

                        Hm, this might proove my theory that they simply forgot to change it ...

                          Kier came up with the name, because of someone he knows as far as I know... and if he wants he can tell you the rest.
