Nameroll

Nameroll is a 2swagg feature that, instead of showing the usual "Anonymous" on a post, randomly assigns one of a pool of joke names.

Known names in the pool

• Toshiaki and its Japanese spelling としあき — a recurring joke identity from Futaba Channel (2chan), the Japanese imageboard. On Futaba the default anonymous name is "としあき", and "Toshiaki" became treated as a single recurring person as a running gag. 2swagg borrows it.
• Swagglet
• Swaggtard
• Swaggtan — shared with the site mascot
• Opsec Demon
• several more names rendered in custom colored or stylized text

The list above is what has been observed; it is not guaranteed complete.

Why it exists

It fits the site's general habit of turning small UI details into bits (see also the Homepage taglines and the crude board titles). Getting a funny name rolled onto an otherwise throwaway post is part of the joke.
