The most I remember is that the name was three letters (all consonants I think) and the body of test was probably several pages at least of words that had hyper-links associated with small (two to four word) blocks of text to a wide range of web pages that while I never looked were either for sites like Nike or were virus sites using URL that were similar to but not actual official sites for the products in question.
I don't remember ever seeing the name before and don't remember it having more posts to it than the hyper-link posts.
