Should we include links to the other impractical internet protocol comics? (like the one where he has to rebuild civilization for every ping, or the one where they're using neutrinos to send messages?)2602:FF4D:128:D56:B3E5:923E:8846:D13 17:24, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- Or create a category for networking protocols? Barmar (talk) 17:27, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- I second that. Agf (talk) 19:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- Here are those that I've found that would match this category ("weird communication mediums" - the neutrinos router doesn't fit the "impractical internet protocols"): 3017, 1789 (unsure), 454, 190, 1142 (unsure), 2949, 269, 1254 (Edit: all those without (unsure) have been added.) Agf (talk) 20:04, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, so I didn't see this before I saw the first redlink category added and unadded it with a suggestion to talk about it.
- But it needs more discussion than this. And I'd advise thinking a lot more (as a group) about the actual name of the category. Barmar seems to have a slightly different idea as a name, for example. And could it be "weird" or "unorthodox" or "impractical" or ... YGTI. Get some sort of wider consensus, please. 81.179.195.93 21:26, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
Little did the shipwrecked sailor know, but the headers were forged and he was duped into participating in the slowest forged-ping-based DDOS ever. 2603:8081:9700:11:0:0:0:2 17:32, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

You could argue that the oldest ever found message in a bottle was part of a very slow PING-experiment. Because the finders were asked to mail the included postcard. But replying by throwing the bottle back into the ocean would defy the whole experiment.
