Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

Why the short face? Nother Nonymous (ID: 754c3a)Country code: us, country type: geoip, valid: 1  24

Why do all My Little Ponies of latter generations (G2-G5) have such short, catlike snouts? The conventional cartoonists' wisdom, that a babylike short face makes a character cute and attractive, is clearly wrong. A character with a long, horsy face can be perfectly adorable.

That really depends on the entire proportions on the character. I think for tiny horses tiny snouts work well.

And a character with a short snout, big eyes, and a big, bulging braincase can be perfectly creepy.

See attached. Little furries, long snout, tiny braincase, little beady eyes. Cute, cute, cute.

Meh! They look naked.

Okay — knitted plushies are a bad idea on the face of it — but the point is that tiny eyes and long snouts are compatible with cute.

Well, I would say a long snout and tiny eyes are not preventing a character to be cute!

So why did the designers decide to make the ponies look like goddam cats...

...as opposed to horses?

Horse face isn't cute enough.

But— you just said the opposite.

And ten gazillion pieces of furry horse porn online argue to the contrary.

They can be cute, but they aren't cute enough!
