Also, consider typing up the names and keeping them in a text file (or, perhaps in the future, on your TBR notepad page).
@Suppressed @Free Vulcan That would work ok if you were only interested in one or two subjects,but when you start keeping one list for music,another for American history,one more for World history,one for archeology,one for guns and gear,one for gun control,one for cars/trucks,one for movies/tv shows,one for America politics,one for Global Politics,one for Science Fiction,one for Science Fact,etc,etc,etc,that's a lot of damn tying. Then you will be getting PMs from people who want to be added to or taken off a list,etc,etc,etc,and it damn near becomes a full-time job.
It is SOOOOO,much easier to just have ping lists members can create and then join or quit on their own,as well as just hit the "ping" button to ping everyone on that list to a new thread they post.
Plus when you have a member keeping what amounts to private ping lists,when they go on vacation,get sick,or just stop posting,nobody gets pinged. With site ping lists,the ping list stays as long as the person that created it checks the box to allow all members of it to ping others to it.
