n. [IRC, MUD] A condition that occurs when the delays in the IRC network or
|
|
|
|
|
on a MUD become severe enough that servers briefly lose and then reestablish
|
|
|
|
|
contact, causing messages to be delivered in bursts, often with delays of up
|
|
|
|
|
to a minute. (Note that this term has nothing to do with mainstream jet lag
|
|
|
|
|
, a condition which hackers tend not to be much bothered by.) Often
|
|
|
|
|
shortened to just lag.
