Default What's "Input"?

The last few weeks I have seen lots of graffiti downtown that simply says "Input". What does it mean? Is it a name of a gang or something?

I think "Output" would be a good name as well.

Wasn't there a Kids In The Hall sketch about nerd gangs (a la Monty Python's granny gang sketch)?

They would be too busy playing WoW if that were the case.

I always thought it would be funny to tape pieces of paper next to graffitti and write really dumb 'translation' messages trying to decipher the street lingo you can't understand.

For example, with that aforementioned piece of graffitti that says "Input"....I would post a little sign in text next to it that says "translation: I love long walks on the beach, but I don't care much at all for borscht."
