What does "Ping" mean?

Posted on 07/02/2006 7:57:20 AM PDT by maineman

I see so many people asking to be put on the 'ping list', what does that mean?

I also see that you can be 'pinged' if something you are interested in is posted. Are you notified someway?

Thanks

I laugh every time I go back to that Story of Ping page and read the review... :-) I figured someone would post it to this thread and I just HAD to go read it again! Thanks!

Looks like you've taken a few gentle FLAMES.

Hope you won't be back to ask what an OPUS is. :-)

Thanks for the mega-ping! I never knew I was even on that list....lol!

The Mega ping list is just a concatenation of all my ping lists. I use it very sparingly.

Ping is the same as "List Me" in AOL chat rooms so you can receive all the porn that's being circulated ;-)

The jerk cycle and the often confused term "circle Jerk" needs to be clarified.

Jerk cycle is much different than circle jerk. Circle jerk is a term coined by duck hunters to define the dummy that couldn't keep still, wore odd clothing, or just spooked the ducks from landing.

They kept the ducks circling to the other end of the marsh, hence the term "circle jerk".

I think it's an 'antiping'.

An anti-ping?

Is that when you ping someone you don't like and don't want to talk to, to a thread you hope they don't show up on?

To celebrate, I think I'll post a vanity thread asking what "Bump" means.

Would you ping me to it?
