| An imageboard is a type of discussion board where users share images and text about various topics.
p
| The primary difference between imageboards and traditional forums is that anybody can make a post without registering
| an account or providing any personal information. This lowers the barrier to entry, protects user identities and focuses on what is said, rather than who says it.

p The name is simply what name you want to be shown alongside your post. Other users can post with the same name so there is nothing preventing impersonation. This is not related to your username (for registered users).

b Tripcode
b Tripcode
p A tripcode is a password of sorts, which users can provide in the tripcode component of their name. This tripcode is used in conjunction with a server-known secret to generate the unique* tripcode portion of the name. Users can use the same tripcode, however with a long, secure, unique tripcode, it can be used as a form of identity between posts as it is unlikely that another user will find a different tripcode that generates the same output. It is important that you keep tripcodes secret if you use them for some form of identity. A compromised tripcode can be used for impersonation and cannot be revoked in any way.
