Tell me if this works - I mod the Intellectual Dark Web category. I didn't get pinged when people posted new articles there until I clicked on the "Notify" button down on the bottom right. Now I get an email every time someone posts something new there. Would that work?
@Sanguine Kinda,but the difference is you would have to find a thread that interests you first,and then click on the notify. Then repeat every time you turn your computer on for the rest of your life.
With ping lists,you subscribe to the list,and then every time you sign on you are notified of new posts to all the ping lists you are subscribed to. For example,one of the ping lists I created there was titled "archeology and digs".
Here is a list of the ping lists I am subscribed to there,
2016 The Likely Suspects
2020 The Likely Suspects
Anti-White Racism
Arab Spring Jihad
Archeology and Digs
Bang List
Bill of Rights-Constitution

Anyone registered there is free to create a new ping list about anything that interests them,regardless of what it is. For example,you could create a ping list dedicated to the discussion of pets if you wanted,and every registered user at that site that is interested in pets can subscribe to the list and be immediately notified of new posts to it every time they log on.
Or a ping list about little green men from Mars,if that pleases you. Or any other subject you can dream up. If no one else is interested,it will quickly die away due to neglect. If if it a ping list dedicated to something like criminal acts or sexual perversions,the admin will quickly delete it,and possibly delete you.
You never miss new subjects that interest you,you never miss new posts to subjects that interest you,and you never have to search for things that interest you. They are all just "there"for you to see the instant you log on after you click on the "check pings" hot button.
It just doesn't get any simpler or efficient than ping lists.
Anytime anyone posts a new thread and attaches it to a ping list,me and everyone else that subscribe to that ping list get a notification a new post has been made there,or that a new article has been posted that is associated with that ping list. When you see the new ping list or new posts to a ping list,the link is "hot" and all you have to do to go to either the new ping list or the most recent posts to a subject you get pinged to is to click on the live link. No searching,no missing new data,no missing posts that reply to you.
