I've seen people having links to things like “triple ninja” in their signature, what exactly does it mean?

Ninja'ing is when you're replying to the person above you, but while typing, someone posts and you accidentally reply to them.

I'm on a lot of forums, it's the post common forum word there is.

What about in the forums? Do you mean quoting?

they're probably referring to how other forums work, usually in the Scratch Forums “ninja'ing” or being “ninja'd” refers to when answering a question or responding to someone, and someone or multiple people do it before you with the same/similar answer.

I'm relatively sure it did originate from other forums, and not inside of the Scratch Forums

Yeah, pretty sure it originated from NationStates, back when a quote button was uncommon.

Probably was born in a forum topic like ^<⌄

For example
^ Is cool and likes call of duty
< Likes trains
⌄ Is a fan of Geometry Dash

Basically forums where quoting is uncommon.
