Where does the "ice" as in "iceinspace" come from?

Well to expand on Ving's in-short, when I played online games (before astronomy) I called myself "iceman".

I started a personal astronomy website, and to carry the "iceman" name through, called it "IceInSpace".

I then added a forum to my personal website, and it soon became a community website. Of course it's still called "IceInSpace"

of course that "ice" reference is probably thought to be comet ice these days.

online gaming... ahh! those were teh days
