This page describes the '''tone and culture of [[2swagg]]''' as presented on the public site. 2swagg calls itself "an off-color, absurd-humor, spamming and raiding website," and much of what follows is comedic framing rather than literal policy. The [[Rules]] page is where actual policy lives.

== Swaggtan ==
== The mascot ==
'''Swaggtan''' is the site mascot: a pink anime-style girl character who appears in rotating banner images and on the site's 404 error page. Per the FAQ she was created by a site '''moderator''', [[People#Slashstabslice|Slashstabslice]] ("made by one of our mods Slashstabslice, thanks slash!"). Slashstabslice is a moderator, not an owner or founder. "Swaggtan" is also one of the names in the [[#Nameroll|nameroll]] pool.

== Rotating homepage taglines ==
== Running gags built into the site ==
The homepage shows a randomly chosen one-line tagline on each page load, drawn from a large pool of absurdist and shock-humor phrases. This is a deliberate running gag that sets the site's irreverent tone. The phrases range from silly to deliberately edgy and are not reproduced here.
* '''[[Homepage taglines]]''', a random one-liner on the front page, new one every reload, ranging from silly to deliberately offensive.
* '''[[Nameroll]]''', posts can get a random joke name instead of "Anonymous" (Toshiaki, Swagglet, Opsec Demon, and so on).
* '''[[Fortunes]]''', put <code>fortune</code> in the email field for a random cookie-fortune line, which the pool then escalates well past cookie-fortune territory.
* Several [[Board directory|board titles and subtitles]] are crude or self-mocking on purpose ("Pony Faggotry", "VEGETA", "BASEDpapers").

'''Nameroll''' is a feature where a post, instead of showing "Anonymous", may randomly display one of a pool of joke or meme names. Confirmed names in the pool include:
Small features you trigger while posting:
* '''Toshiaki''' and its Japanese-script form '''としあき''', a long-running joke identity from Japanese imageboard culture
* '''[[Emotes]]''', 38 <code>:shortcode:</code> images.

* '''[[Kaotype]]''', type <code>;smug</code> and similar for an auto-expanding kaomoji.
* several names shown with custom colored or stylized text
* '''[[Checkem]]''', the DUBS / TRIPS / QUADS / ULTRA GET tier system for notable post numbers.
* '''[[Flags]]''', a per-board flag icon. [[/mlp/]] has its own ~300 pony flags; a few other boards share a small deliberately edgy set.

Each board keeps an <code>/archive.html</code> page listing threads that have aged off the active board, with short excerpts, so old content stays discoverable after it leaves the live pages.

* Several board titles and subtitles are crude or self-mocking by design (see [[Board directory]]).


== SomeBois Guide for New Users ==
== Imageboard vocabulary ==
The rules page carries a tongue-in-cheek "SomeBois Guide for New Users" that tells new users to "bully" various categories of poster (people far left or far right politically, furry-porn posters, forced-meme posters, disliked namefags and tripfags, disliked anonymous posters). This is satire in keeping with the site's stated tone, not an enforceable rule. Actual rules are on the [[Rules]] page.
The usual terms apply here and are used the same way: "newfag", "namefag", "tripfag", "anon", greentext, [[FAQ and glossary#Post and thread terms|sage / bump / GET]]. See [[FAQ and glossary]] and [[Tripcodes]].

2swagg calls itself "an off-color, absurd-humor, spamming and raiding website," and it means it. The crude tone is not an accident or a moderation failure, it is the point of the place. This page is the hub for how that plays out.

The mascot[edit | edit source]

  • Swaggtan, the site's pink anime-girl mascot, on the banners and the 404 page, drawn by the mod Slashstabslice.

Running gags built into the site[edit | edit source]

  • Homepage taglines, a random one-liner on the front page, new one every reload, ranging from silly to deliberately offensive.
  • Nameroll, posts can get a random joke name instead of "Anonymous" (Toshiaki, Swagglet, Opsec Demon, and so on).
  • Fortunes, put fortune in the email field for a random cookie-fortune line, which the pool then escalates well past cookie-fortune territory.
  • Several board titles and subtitles are crude or self-mocking on purpose ("Pony Faggotry", "VEGETA", "BASEDpapers").
  • /r/ is a board whose entire bit is being an obvious honeypot that tells you not to post in it.

Post toys[edit | edit source]

Small features you trigger while posting:

  • Emotes, 38 :shortcode: images.
  • Kaotype, type ;smug and similar for an auto-expanding kaomoji.
  • Checkem, the DUBS / TRIPS / QUADS / ULTRA GET tier system for notable post numbers.
  • Flags, a per-board flag icon. /mlp/ has its own ~300 pony flags; a few other boards share a small deliberately edgy set.

The "guide"[edit | edit source]

  • SomeBois Guide for New Users, a satirical section on the rules page telling newcomers who to "bully." A joke, not policy, but a deliberate part of the site's self-presentation.

Rivalries[edit | edit source]

Imageboard vocabulary[edit | edit source]

The usual terms apply here and are used the same way: "newfag", "namefag", "tripfag", "anon", greentext, sage / bump / GET. See FAQ and glossary and Tripcodes.

Old content[edit | edit source]

  • Thread archive, dead threads get listed at each board's /archive.html with an excerpt, so they stay readable after they drop off the board.
