Personally, I think the "ping" function is a huge Easter egg. It's written into the C source and not documented anywhere (that I've seen). There is no sysop control of it (turn on or off, formatting or the message etc) and most Synchronet sysops seem to be  blissfully unaware of it's existence (taking as evidence the dearth of PING flags in the various FTN nodelists for SBBS systems).
