This is an initiative for a new series of events DruBallNYC: Drupal ball games in NYC.

Hopefully, DruBall events will keep us healthy, and offer more opportunities for Drupalist to travel outside the home-office and connect with other Drupalists.

The date and time is set, and the location is Grand St. at Forsyth St. (a park in Chinatown). Here is the street view http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=&sll=40.7194...

But you might to pick something a little more casual like Softball, Kickball, Ultimate, etc. You might have a larger turnout.

Golf is a Cruel Joke

We're planning a mini-golf outing (with blue balls of course) much later in the season. Fun for the whole familia!

I prefer basketball but

I prefer basketball but you're right, maybe we should have a poll. Basketball does require far less people so that worked out really well the first time.

Only you would post a comment

Only you would post a comment to a nice community event where you refer to your "balls" three times. Clearly you are doing this for some type of response, so here's mine: WTF are you thinking? Jeez, no one wants to hear about your balls... Seriously.

you lost your sense of humor,

Strange

It's not funny, it's weird that you find it appropriate to take a sports event post as an opportunity to comment about blue balls. It's like something a horny teenager would say. I highly doubt the rest of the "mature" guys in this group want to hear about your balls either. If that's me loosing my sense of humor, so be it. LOL.

enough already!

This is not about someone else lacking of a sense of humor, it's about you not thinking before you type.

I understand where you might find this confusing, after all up until recently comments like yours were considered ok here.

Immature and inappropriate humor should no longer be tolerated by the NYC Drupal Community. For too long we have sat back and allowed a few members of the group to turn our community from one of professional dialogue into a disrespectful boy's club.

Given the recent debates and crisis in our community you really should have known better.

Enough is enough.

If your comments in this group are immature and would be considered inappropriate in a professional setting, don't act shocked when people object and ask you to apologize and learn (or even ask for you to be banned).

i think you've gotten a pretty consistent response here but i'll pile on so it's clear to everyone else. you sound like you're 12 and it's not funny. you should either try making a sincere apology or just take your "humor" some place else.

Enough of this bs - I've asked for a ban

Would you comment have been appropriate for someone under 18?

See http://drupal.org/node/825942

Enough is enough.

Agreeing with Winston-

Save your off-color comments for the locker room - they are not appropriate here.

Also consider what your employer/client/relative/significant other would think of your behavior!

Beware the dread Drupal "Community Plumbing" because it can flush you away too!

Basketball, soccer and more

I personally love basketball as a sport best, but soccer seems very timely. Trying to think of other fun team things: paintball/lasertag, bowling, pool or ping pong tourney. The latter is a bit individual (as is mini golf) but with brackets could be fun.

If you propose a different game, please take a leading role here, by offering more details like: location (court), who brings the ball, etc.

If we don't have much details for the "different" game by June.23rd, then our fall-back plan will be basketball on the same court at same time.

Second game

Since we don't have any detailed proposal, our second game will be Basketball again at the same place: Grand St. at Forsyth St. (a park in Chinatown) on 06-27 16:30 - 19:00. see you guys there unless it rains dogs and cats.
