2channel's SETTING.TXT

The “SETTING.TXT” file is a board settings file that can be found in every 2channel board's subfolder. Its contents determine how a board's front page looks, affect things like thread creations and posts, and so on. Users do have some say in the board settings, but it's not really common.

BBS_SLIP

BBS_SLIP determines what additional values appear in the name and ID fields, generally showing where the poster is posting from. Some serial threads (e.g. general threads, watch threads, etc.) often override the configuration by having “!extend” in the opening post.5) Ronin users can also use “!id” and “!slip” in the name field to make their post override both configurations, but this is rare.

The “!extend” command is typed out as “!extend:value1:value2:value3:value4” and it must be the first line of the opening post for it to take effect. The first value is the ID setting and the second value is the BBS_SLIP setting, while the other two values are unclear.
