National Bear Code

Bear Codes

Bear codes are sometimes used in e-mail (often as part of a .sig [signature block]), web postings, and online profiles to identify bear-related attributes of the author or poster. See, e.g., "The Bear Codes" on the Resources for Bears website.

Bear Code may be the earliest example (1989) of Internet self-classification codes. Familiarity with this classification system is concentrated in the subcommunity of bears who were early adopters of Internet communications, and is not widespread within the general community.
