Why doesn't my 'back' button work after visiting this website?

Why doesn't my 'back' button work after visiting this website? I have seen many sites where you have to click the back button twice in order to get back to where you were, but I have never seen one where you can't get 'back' at all. What have the site builders done?

I'd assume it's a bit of javascript code that is preventing you from going back, using history.forward(). All history.forward() does when called is bounce you forward in your browser history, which is what this website seems to be doing. Although if you click repeatedly fast enough (3 fingers on the mouse type of deal), you can :)
