Where is "wanging" from?

A friend of mine is writing an article and wants to cite where the PA term "wanging" came from.
Its when Gabe or Tycho links to a site which then crashes from all the traffic.
(Yes, like slashdotting... just the PA version of it)

I'm at work, so I'm not sure googling for the term "wanging" will bring a lot of work-safe results.
Anyone have any idea? PA post works, or an article online which mentions it would work as well.

    I think it started gaining traction around here, though it existed even before this.

    EDIT: Here you go, a few days prior.
