You are the expert on ping lists
LOL! If you say so.
I started my first ping list during the heat of the Klamath crisis. It has since morphed into the rights, farm, environment list. I posted a new thread announcing the creation of the list. No one was added to the list unless they asked.
Names were copied and pasted into a notepad file. When I ping the list, I simply copy and paste the list in it's entirety. It is all set up with the semi colons between each name. The names are also in alphabetical order to ease removing apon request.
When I ping the list, I use a phrase with the list announcing it's use and the ability to be added or removed. The Gods, Graves, Glyphs list also has a link to the index list for archeology threads. I'd show you an example but it is on my other hard drive. Do a search on my name and you can bring it up though. This is also saved in the same notepad file in HTML form for ease of copying and pasteing. Several ping lists are saved in the same file for ease of use. They are high volume and I can keep the file open on my task bar for accessability.
The GGG list was made in a different fashion than the rights list and it is the method I would recommend for you. I simply created the link, discription and the add or remove phrase. I posted it to all threads dealing with archeology and within a few months I went from one name to 200 names.
Ceate your phrase, post it to threads and collect names. I always reply, most cut and paste, to requests to be added or dropped. This way they know you got the message. Good luck.
I also keep a list of who has what ping lists. When you get yours started let me know and I will add it to the list.
