Namefag

From Bibliotheca Anonoma

Definition[edit]

A Namefag is an imageboard user who posts with a custom name in the name field, distinguishing themselves from the default anonymous posters. The suffix "‑fag" is a common slang postfix on 4chan and related boards.

Usage[edit]

  • Often used pejoratively when a named user is perceived as attention‑seeking.
  • Can be neutral in contexts where persistent identity is helpful (e.g., project coordination threads).
