Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.

Did 4chan had usernames and so? Wasn't it's deal that ir was anonymous?

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.
