This makes me sad. I think this post just said it’s a troll. I’m sad.

Trip Codes.
Basically, because the chans are anonymous, there still needs to be a way to determine if two messages have come from the same person.
Trip Codes offer a lock-key cipher system that allows the poster to be able to claim any post as theirs.
It would take longer than a human life-span to crack the cipher system and "guess" what trip code the author has chosen.
Q's last trip code is still active, which means he can come and post again and everyone will know only THE Q has posted. Mod errors have occurred in the past, but the trip is still active aside from changes with the message board.
Why do anons think it's no longer a good trip code, like it got stale or something?
Is trip codes tied to the hardware?
I don't see why it needs to be.
It's just a calculation being run.
Basically, it works like this:
My Key (which I keep secret): iar1!ic
The Site's Encryption Algorithm (which I choose on the site): x = char+1
My Trip Code (That everyone can see): jbs2@jd
The only way someone can write a message with my exact trip code is if they have either the Key or the Algorithm I chose.
So long as both are secret, I can post and produce the trip code every time.
I'm simplifying it, but that's the idea.
Thanks for the info. Was helpful. 🙂
