Editing Fags of 4chan (section)

==Board Fags==
===Namefag===
Someone who attributes a name to their posts on 4chan. Namefagging is generally considered a terrible thing, which can and will lead to a 300+ post debate about the merits and disadvantages of identity on imageboards. Basically, don't do it unless you need to be distinguished from other anons.

===Tripfag===
Might be called "namefags+." Tripcodes are like little keys, to show people that the other guy posting as BobsUrUnkle isn't really you. Much like namefagging, you should avoid this unless using it to establish identity for a certain project (such as Weaver when running [[Ruby Quest|RubyQuest]]). No other purpose is acceptable.

===Newfag===
A poster who has allegedly arrived at the current board or topic later than the person using the term. See also: [[summer|newfag summer]], a mostly imaginary menace people blame on dumb users.

===Oldfag===
Basically the opposite of a newfag. This term is commonly used to describe how many years said person has surfed 4chan. Many /b/tards measure their e-peens with it:
::Oldfag1: ''I am an oldfag, I have been on 4chan for 2 years.''
::Oldfag2: ''Newfag! I'm a real oldfag. Been here 2 years 6 months!''
::Oldfag3: ''You both are newfags, 2 years 7 months''
::Oldfag4: ''I've been here since 2004, you newfags shut your infant mouths''
::<s>Old</s>Newfags  1,2,3: ''Okay.jpg''

===OP===
:The [[OP]] of any thread is automatically considered one or more of these.

===Anonymous===
:The anti-fag. On [[/tg/]], people generally adopt a name or tripcode when it is germane and abandon it the rest of the time, so any given Anonymous is impossible to tell from any other.  Other boards use usercodes that allow people to identify a user from others even if they don't put anything in the name field, but /tg/ does not.
