The Dragon Code is used to identify the user’s personae. From the original page:

The Dragon Code is not just for dragons! It got its name from its place of origin, the alt.fan.dragons newsgroup on Usenet, but is by and large designed to be used by beings of all races.

As for the code’s history:

Well, the whole history is very simple. I was on afd around the time the geek code became very popular. I decided to alter it a little to my own purposes and create the dragon code. I did that, and posted it… a few people noticed it and still use it, then I left afd for a while and, other than a couple of e-mails a few months later, that was it. Then, suddenly, I find it widely in use… *grin* I must say I’m flattered.

This code is notable for introducing “distribution tags”, which were then used in Multiple Code and its Redux. As used in the Age tag in v1.0:

If you really want to be thorough, you can include both ad and ah (both a dragon and a human age). Format is either: ad+ ah-, or, using the Distributive Property, a(d+ h-).
