Where Did The Name "trap17" Come From?

So I have been bouncing around the forums for a day or two now. I have not seen any mention of the history or story behind the name, Xisto. Does anyone know its origins? Is it painfully obvious and I'm just a chuckle-head?

Its a him i think...OpaQue...i doubt he was 17 when he started the website, maybe when he got into webdesigning.

I'm not sure, but I'll take a stab at it. If you look at the logo of Xisto at the top left corner on every page in the forum, you'll see trap 17. Now, look at the "17" closely. What does it look like? To me, it looks like an "N", so you have "trap n", or "trap in".

It makes sense because the members keep coming back for more.

That's my guess, but I'll be interested to know how OpaQue really thought of it.

That's pretty clever. I never noticed that before. Yeah, it would be interesting to learn how he thought of the name.
