Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.

I always tough that they were cookie-generated, like you wnter the cookie assign a code for you that eventually go off. Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.
