INGO Specific References and Jargon
Denny'd - Named after a prominent member in INGO lore who has a tendency to offer factual and to the point explanations to discussions where the thread took a comedic or nonsensical direction about a given subject. One "Denny's" a post or thread by offering a serious response to a humorous discussion. Can also mean to debunk a belief by offering a fact nobody was aware of yet. "He was in jail because he was driving while black!" "Actually, he was pulled over for doing 80 in a 55 and found to have 5 outstanding warrants. [insert link to arrest record here]"
Runner - A non-Site Supporting new member who tries to bypass the 50 quality posts rule before access to the classifieds by posting very quick posts with no substance as fast as possible.
Shooter - Title typically placed in the banner of those who have lost the privilege of using INGO and have been banned off the platform. Some refer to the banning processed as being "Shooter'd", and to those banned as "Shooters". The "Shooter" status can be temporary or permanent.
