The Phrase ‘Time to Penis’ was the MMO answer to ‘Time to Crate‘. It was coined by designer par excellence Jeff Freeman who sadly is no longer with us, and was used to describe the length of time, in a game with user created content, it would take for players to fell the game with phalluses.

Here’s a series of Tweets from a senior developer who worked on Lego Universe – the ultimate child-friendly user-created-content IP.

The whole thing’s a fast, good read.
