I think it can get you laid
I see a lot of posts about maguma saying they want him or they're gonna punch him. He hasn't been hit yet but...

At one point I was under the impression all trip fags on /cgl/ were spics.

All tripfags suck my dick at one point or another. So that's that.

>>2778651
Uh-huh.

>>2778657
Give it time man... Give it time.

>>2778660
Seeing as that I'm a guy, what time would that be? That's right, never. Unless I'm dead.

>Why does everyone hate Tripfags?
See >>2776631

>>2778774
how bout just the tip?

I like some tripfags, like ones that contribute to the board.

>>2778774
You have no idea what my mad mackin' skillz are all about, son.

In fact, I just remembered that I've already gotten you to suck my dick. True fact. Of course next you're going to >>reply to this post like "LOL NUH UH." But yes huh. And I don't expect you to admit it because you're ashamed, but you shouldn't be, because it's simply just /cgl/ Tripfag tradition. :)

>>2778568
bump

because they use this board as their personal message board and it gets annoying reading that.

I also understand identifying yourself for when photos are posted or something like that, but unless you're like volpin, i.e. extremely talented/skilled, no one really gives a crap who you are (except your friends) and it's just stupid seeing your name all over the place. making the choice to tripfag on an anonymous website just screams "I want attention" to me.

I tried it once, too. But then I realized I like saying shit about people too much without people knowing who I am.
>>2778593
I agree with this. I wanna bang Etna now.

>>2780709
This

Since /cgl/ is the most active cosplay forum on the internet, I forgive them for tripfagging. Same goes for /x/, where it's usually necessary to follow a story.

Alternatively, I saw someone confess to being sexually attracted to their own dad on /cm/ under a trip. :/

>>2780709
>making the choice to tripfag on an anonymous website just screams "I want attention" to me.

I can get that. The only time I feel the need to trip is if I'm OP of a thread, or something strikingly similar [Having a chat with OP maybe? But it stays in that thread.]

I mean I love and hate /cgl/ at the same time. sometimes I think forced trips would be a good idea simply so people could identify each other since a lot of cosplayers like to know each other, but taking away anon would take away a huge chunk of /cgl/'s appeal and power. sometimes I resent it for being a cesspool of jerks and retardation, but sometimes it does feel good to just bitch about someone who pisses you off when no one else will believe you.

but then again most of the shit posted on here probably isn't true anyway. I don't know, sometimes I do think forced trips would be a benefit. on this board I just think anon does more bad than good.

I really only trip to find my own posts.

>>2780761
if you can't remember what posts are yours, I think you have a problem.

>>2780766
do you not see the Decade themed cool guy pic?
I'm kidding about the finding post thing.

I think I trip because I want to be recognized for the things I made. for example, lets say I totally finished my whole Decade suit, but never tripped.
"Oh who built that?" " Oh some Anonymous guy"

I like credit for things I build.
and the attention is nice, and lets face it, everyone on 4chan is a attention whore

>>2780784
lol someone's a dumbass (hint: it's me)

see I think tripping is acceptable for identifying your work. but do you have to trip ALL the time? I mean if someone's like "hey where's DECADE here's this photo of his stuff" you can be like "sup, I'm here." but like now? (now isn't a good example because you're joking) but you know what I mean?

Weren't trips originally meant to identify a thread? And not people?

Why do those on /cgl/ use trips as some kind of disform internet personality?

>>2780792
well I don't trip all the time, /m/ told me to fuck off so I was like".......... okay" and now I'm just anon there.

And yeah I get what you are saying about tripping RIGHT THIS SECOND IN THIS POST, I just don't know why it bugs people. never bugged me when I was anon when I first got here.

One other thing I like a bout tripping. the advice threads. lets say you are working with fiberglass or something like that and ask for help. Lets say 4nge1/anonymau5 or whatever the heck he is now comes in a give some solid advice about what to do. You can trust him because you've seen what he has done and how he did it, to a certain extent. do you get what I'm saying?

I'll take off my trip for this post.

I started tripping, and still do, because people -in the past- would ask me "Did you write that one post on /cgl/?".
Its tiring when even your RL friends ask you that question.
So call me a fag, whatever.

>>2780817
yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I guess the issue here is ANNOYING tripfags. if someone is obnoxious as anon, it doesn't really matter. but if someone identifies themself with a trip and is annoying (i.e. zero) it makes it all the more infuriating.

and I guess you're right, on some level anyone on this board not laughing at us is probably a bit of an attention whore.

Frankly, I trip because:
1.) I want to find my own posts
2.) I know a bunch of the tripfags, and this is more or less our community.
3.) I'm gregarious. I want people to approach me at cons to just chill or have a conversation. All the anons that say all tripfags are pretentious douchebags haven't really talked to me or the ones that I hang with like Zal, Maguma, and Manly Kittan. Approach me, anon. More than likely, we'll hit it off.
4.) It'd be wrong of me to say I don't enjoy the attention, because I do. You guys are the shit, and I feel like a fucking CHAMP when someone posts my pic for anything, even hate threads. I'm not at Masa levels of attention whoring, but I do appreciate the recognition

>>2780824
God damn it, this!
THIS is why I trip now. I'm sick of people accusing me of posting things that I had nothing to do with. I want to take responsibility for the things I actually say, and not what people think I say.

>>2780880
I like you Wes

>>2781011
Thanks anon. Come hit me up at Anime Conji. And if not there, Anime Expo! :D Or hit me up on aim, my sn is Tokenfighter

>>2781000
Exactly.
A long time ago, some anon bitched about a bunch of cosplayers on here.
A friend of mine got paranoid, thought it was about her, and blamed me cause she knew I was a regular on /cgl/.
Drama happened, she told everyone what a bitch I am, and now we hate eachother for no reason at all.

-THAT- is one of the reasons why I started tripping.

I would personally trip if I had anything to show. but I haven't made any costumes yet and I'm still a painful noob. once I get started though I'd love to post in progress threads.

I guess trip and namefagging are practically the same thing.

I started namefagging because I went to /ic/ one day and forgot to take my name out when I started posting back in /cgl/.

I continued it because I like having a name to the shit I post in progress threads.

I do agree with >>2780709 about people using this for personal conversations. It's cool if you are just getting in contact with someone new but Jesus Christ, so many fucking threads get derailed because of it. It's really annoying.

shits and giggles.

I don't hate tripfags. Infact I'm friends with quite a few of them.

I put my trip on just for you op. I hope I dont seem like some douchey faggot now.

I started tripping after AX 09 mainly because for a good chunk of a large thread people were talking about me after winning a competition so I used a tripcode as a means to communicate with them and answer their questions. After that I kinda forgot to stop using it, then again I consider myself one of the "milder" tripfags in that I really don't cause drama and make small posts to compliment people so mostly I'm ignored by annon.

>>2780880

Well, bro. Everytime I've talked to you on here you're a pretty chill dude. I'd assume you're from the western part of the US, though. No dice, brah.

>>2781235
Thanks dude. Be sure to hit me up.

Additionally, trying to do Dragon*Con, so maybe I'll see you there

In the spirit of the thread, trip removed.

Personally, I'm hoping that if I give someone construction advice, they'll feel a little safer about trying it because they know the person the advice is coming from. There's too many tutorials out there telling people you can carve liquid nails, or craft foam and saran wrap in an oven makes great armor.

Mostly, I only stick to progress/advice threads anyways, so my trip (hopefully) is more relevant there.

Because they are egotistal assholes...
Oh wait.

>>2781403
Oh you.

>>2781315
The only trip who can construct anything worth a shit is Volpin. No one else has any particular skill so their advice means about as much to me as an anon's.

I'd rather see great advice with a picture of the technique in action from an anon, than mediocre advice from a trip who thinks their 'name' gives them credibility.

>>2780880I know a bunch of the tripfags, and this is more or less our community.
Uh. No. This is not "your" community, and this is the kind of attitude that anons (read as: the majority of this board) hate.

>>2780824
>>2781000
Except for the part where you can log out of your trip and post as anon. So "I didn't post that because I have a trip," doesn't really work. I know trips who post mean shit all the time, but as anons. The only way to prove whether or not you posted something is through IPs, but since only janitors/mods can see them, sorry, there is no failsafe.

/cgl/ has the worst tripfags in all of 4chanland, with the exception of EDG.

/thread

>>2781647
Though I couldn't fucking care less about your opinion, I'd like to clarify that this is the community we're in, not a community that we have some sort of superiority in. And you know what? Anon is a big part of that. Who would we be without anon's opinions and insults? It's an open community, and you're welcome to anon here. Just as we are able to trip.

tl;dr - This time around, I don't give a fuck about your opinion.

people hate tripfags because they inevitably hijack 90% of threads and make it about themselves

tripfags = shameless attention whores that post solely to get people to talk about them or to achieve some kind of fantasy of e-fame. 4chan as a whole is successful because that shit is kept to a minimum. This board fails because it is infested by it. Only the retarded cosplay women who patron this board are stupid enough to think tripfags are famous.

>>2781615
heh, actually >>2781315 was me - but you actually proved my point rather well. Using a trip, you'd know where the words are coming from.

Though, I agree that its only relevant in specific cases. If nobody needs to know the source, there's not much use for a tripcode.
