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

Thanks to the THREE people that answered my question. To the rest of you, I'll be sure to return the favor. Gosh, a good night's sleep didn't help your mood much, did it? Have a beer and chill out, it's a holiday weekend.

Think before you post..don't I know it. I posted an inane vanity during election time. For some reason, no one noticed it. After about six hours thought, I pushed the Report Abuse on myself and the Mods were very kind to stop the painful thread's existance.
It was a mercy killing.

BTW: I didn't know what a "ping" was at the time. I thought I was the victim of a form of spam. Also BTW: I don't know how pinging is done, or why it's called pinging. I thought that was a term from sonar. Sup my friend?
Maineman can clue you in - 3 whole peoplw clued him in. Good of you to chime in!

Finally the 21st person to respond treats that question with a dignified response with definitions. Wrong! It was the 16th reply.

LOL. Boy can I relate. I wish they had an "I've abused my posting privileges and I need to take this idiotic post back" button.
Recently, not only did I misread a post but my math in the response was completely screwed up. I deserved some kind of demotion and dock in pay. Hopefully, I will not repeat the experience, however, I do know enough to understand that is probably wishful thinking. ; )

i think it use to mean "keep this post active". what it really means ????.I think you're thinking of a "bump." Also used: "BTTT" for "bump to the top" (of the topics list).

Lights back on? Dang...we've been without power most of the day. Our main generator was HOSED. Well, we had power when the city gave it to us in two short little incremements (that we had to BEG for.)
And it was about a million degrees out. We had to fire up the barbecue grills in order to have dinner.
Now, everything's all fixed and we have power now and we're all happy campers.
And we get to goof off by the pool tomorrow for the Fourth - BBQ and beer and all that good stuff.
Sanity is restored on the compound.

FReepers are sharp but most are willing to overlook mistakes especially if you admit errors. However, a few like to collect mistakes because they are the thread nazis..."silliness doesn't belong on the FR" or "this is a duplicate thread (one second after the first was posted and you received 45 worthwhile responses" or "The mods frown on yadda yadda yadda" or "your latin is a misnomer" (grrrrrrrrrrrowl what I'd like to do to them)
