Actually, it resembles a technique sometimes called "threadbusting." The idea is to post lots of slow-loading graphics in order to slow the thread down--in the hopes people will weary of the long waits and the thread will die. It's not quite as effective as it once was, since John Robinson divided the threads into lots of 50 or so, but back when a thread might have several hundred replies in one big hunk, it was a very good way to kill a thread. I'd guess that someone would like to shut these threads down.
