I always tough that they were cookie-generated, like you wnter the cookie assign a code for you that eventually go off. Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.
Tripcodes are not automatically applied. Default posting was anonymous, but a user could optionally post with a tripcode name.
Some boards like /pol/ introduced post IDs where a randomly generated code would follow your anonymous name within a thread, so others could see which comments within a thread were the same person. That system wasn’t site wide though, and it wasn’t a persistent account.

doesn’t this essentially make it an opt-in system to user names?
