Identity Storage.
How we handle your tokens for the community boards and save system. No footprint by default.
Tokens as Identity
When you generate an identity block on the Community Boards page, or generate a Save Code for a game, you are creating a cryptographic token.
These tokens are unique. They prove you own a specific name or save data. If you use the same token across multiple days, the server correlates those specific posts or saves to that token. This is the entire point of the system — it replaces an account system so you can keep your identity or progress without a login.

Most websites force you to accept cookies or drop tracking files on your hard drive just to remember you. We hate that. By default, all tokens and themes live in sessionStorage.
sessionStorage lives only in your browser's active memory. When you close the tab, it is instantly wiped from existence. No files written to your disk. No persistent identifier. No footprint.
Upgrade to Persistent Storage
Right now, your token is saved in sessionStorage. If you want the site to remember your identity on your next visit, you must opt-in by moving it to localStorage.
The Trade-Off
We make this a big, glowing, slightly alarming red button because it's a deliberate choice. You are trading a tiny piece of your privacy (a persistent footprint on your disk) for convenience (not having to paste your identity block every single time you visit).
If you click the red button, we ask your browser to write a small file to your disk containing your token. This is the only way the site can remember you across different days.
How to undo it
You are always in control. If you click the red button a second time, it will remove the token from your hard drive and revert to session-only storage. You can also manually clear it by clearing your browser's site data for tinyfiles.tv.
