"Dakkanaughts" is common, but to be frank doesn't hold a candle to "Dakkaroos".

Stop. Just like "fetch", you're not going to make "dakkaroos" happen. Only Sean Connery of Red October could pull that off.

When I joined Dakka, it was at the tail end of "Dakkaites", and has basically been "Dakkanaut" though I believe the correct phrasing is "Dakkanaught"

Though KK is correct, there are no people on Dakka.

I think that phrase is so popular because it really fills a... linguistic niche, a void really, in trying to describe that phenomenon - I guess it otherwise would be called, in a much less catchy/cool way, a forced meme.

You see, the spelling of Dakkanaught and Dakkanaut are much like the spelling of Yognaught and Yognaut. And if you are a dedicated follower of the yogscast, you'll know that spelling it Yognaught is the Simon way and Yognaut is the Lewis way. I personally spell it the Simon way, so I spell Dakkanaught the same way.

"Naught" means zero. Perhaps what you're thinking of is the alternative spelling "nought" as in dreadnought? In which case, you've simply mixed up your nautical references. Being a member of Dakka does not make one "dakkaless" -- rather Dakka is the great ship of which you are now a crewman (or at least passenger), i.e., a naut.

No, I meant 'naught' and I know perfectly well that it also means zero. I was merely referring tho the Yogpod, but I don't think anybody knows what I'm talking about now so I'll just shut up.

You're what now?

I'm glad you like the Dakkaroo name, but, that much?

I'm going off the beaten track now with DAKKANATORS

I kinda like Dakkolyte, actually

But I'm still sticking with Dakkaroo - won't dakka-you, too?

We would have to elect a Captain Dakkaroo.

I have to say, I've fallen for Dakkaroo. And right now, it's neck and neck, with 26 votes each...

Hey, we should get someone doing commentary for this. It could become a new spectator sport!

"And dakkaroo is leading as we come up to the first jump, but dakkanaut is edging ahead, now we're coming up to the first corner and... Oh! dakkanite has fallen! It's out of the race, but right now it's really a two-saying race anyway..."

I voted for Dakkaroo, but I still think "Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Dakka Mushroom Mushroom" is the only real answer and I shall be using it anyway.
