Skoorb, who is married to MrsSkoorb, decided to mess with the people in OT by faking a story in which he wants this high-school girl. He asks for advice on what to do. People post as if he was seriously needing help; half the people in OT didn't realize that Skoorb was joking; it looks like many newcomers don't know that Skoorb really is married already.
This was known as the Skoorb effect.
It was hideously funny, and other OT members decided to try something similar.
