This is the origin of the meme, it's been a way to troll people ever since.
I wonder if that was staged or not
Who knows, but such trolling did happen a lot on IRC.
Another good one was everyone in the chat room agreeing to send single spaces to troll other users into repeatedly restarting and troubleshooting their IRC clients because they thought something was wrong with their fonts.
