Okay, I'll bite. What does the esoteric term mean? Story behind it?

Mark Alpiger runs a very old website http://www.classicarcadegaming.com/forums/index.php

It used to be the hottest spot for arcade discussions, but the moderation got really out of control. If you say something even slightly off topic, your post would be removed from that thread, and put into a thread all on its own with a lenthy explanation why it happened.

The website is great for historical reasearch, but is pretty much a ghost town these days.

Hehe, the moderation was fun at times. They'd use tactics of blanket-banning entire IP ranges - an attempt to silence individuals known to be using particular ISPs. I lost access for long enough to give up after they blanket-banned the a swathe of IP ranges used by the UK's biggest ISP. Wasn't me. ;)
