Tripcodes are a very spiffy feature of futaba that I never even knew about, until 0037 informed me of their existance!
1. What are tripcodes?
Tripcodes are a unique and simple way to verify your legitimacy as a
poster, while still maintaining anonymity. The tripcode script creates
a unique alpha-numeric string out of a specified word (like md5), and
places it after your name.
2. Why should I care?
This is the closet thing you'll get to registering on 4chan. This
verifies you are indeed who you say you are, and will help weed out any
potential imposters.
3. How do I use tripcodes?
Using tripcodes is very simple. When you enter your name in the "Name"
field of the image board, enter your name, then an octothorpe (#), then
a short word.
Example: BobBopkins#password
Result: BobBopkins!ozOtJW9BFA (Note: The ! seperates the username from the tripcode, it is not part of it.)
4. Is it possible to register my name/tripcode in a database?
We will be implementing a revamped system for this. Look forward to it within the week.
