When you see a thread that you believe others will enjoy...you ping them to it by putting their SN's in the To field of the reply form.

When you see a thread that you enjoy and want to keep track of it...you BTTT (back to the top/bump to the top). When a message is replied to...that reply goes to the top of the latest message page. (makes it more visible for others to see)

The VK's are more recent than the last edition of the Lexicon. They came into existance when a certain song and graphic was being posted to troll/ZOT threads.


This was the picture. The graphic included a song and a boat of viking kitties.

Ping is an acronym for 'Packet INternet Groper'

When I started using the term ping on FR years ago, I was thinking more along the lines of a submarine pinging a target with sonar, and later realized that network pinging was also an apt metaphor.

What's a "n00b"?

Geez, look it up, will ya? Or at least PM someone about it. It is VERY bad form to start your own vanity thread like this so early in your particular game.

"Whats a jerk"?

Seems like everyone ELSE is having fun with it here, snakey!

I thank everyone for their help. I was unaware of the "lexicon" page, though I know what a ping is on the internet, I just didn't know what it was on this web site.

Thanks one and all.

I've always wanted to invent a table tennis game for three players. It would use a "Y" shaped table.

I'd call it 'Ping-Pong-Pung'.

I'm so sick of that I could chew nails. I got your friggin' moose...



I'm threatening to post this #$%! picture every time someone even mentions the moose/cheese/sister thing. It'll probably get me cyber-stoned, at the very least. :-)
