Well, according to the FAQ page for rec.ponds at
http://www.geocities.com/justinm090/faq.html, I believe PORG *originally*
referred to "pond owners recreation group," but things just took off from
there! Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC

This is how I've said it for a long time, others have come up with more
wordy & redundant explanations:

The Borg said:
"We are _Borg_ resistant is futile, you will be assimilated."
The Porg say:
"We are Porg, resistant IS futile, you will be pond-elated."

This part below didn't come along until later and was contributed by, I do
believe, a Rusty that lived in Aloha, OR, when he was just guessing what
PORG could stand for.

P - Pond, O - Oriented, R - Recreational, G - Group ~ jan
