Wiki link on anonymous. Not the best articles, probably the wikichan article is better:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)

wikichan link:
http://www.wikichan.org/index.php/Anonymous

list of all *chan sites
http://shii.org/2ch/

And no, Rules 1 and 2 do not apply here.

I'm in no way affiliated with Anonymous, but I do like going to BBWchan, which is inconveniently down at the moment.

I'm a regular at mecha boards on chan sites.

Anonymous? Doesn't sound familiar to me.

A bunch of my friends are into 4chan, but I just don't get it :roll:

I guess I'm just too white :oops:

"too white" LOL! I'm BLACK and go to *chan sites. :P You don't have to be a "weeaboo" or wapanese to post on *chan sites.

The main advantages of the chans is that you can post anonymously and not have to deal with censorship, ladder climbing, mainstream morality and biases (Except the occasional racist and the like stuff on /b/). You have no reputation to try to build or maintIN.

To explain it to everyone, Anonymous is name of the people who post on *chan sites, though you can in some boards and sites post with a name if you want.

Anonymous can be on other than *chan sites, there are plenty of wikis who are operated by anon and anon ca be on many other sites, but the *chans are the main place where anon are on.

But I'm sure it helps ;)

I've just never been into that Internet humor stuff...SA, 4Chan, eBaum...don't really care, I'd rather just hang out on IRC with people I know.

Though I have been active on WP a bit too often lately :oops:

If I told you I was Anonymous, then I wouldn't be anonymous anymore.

I only visit the text boards on the *chans, and mostly just the science ones at that. Meme-play on the image boards gets REALLY. FREAKING. BORING.

I avoid chan at all costs, it is like the ret*d honeybee of the internet...taking dull old memes SomethingAwful or Fark invented long ago and pollinating even more worthless sites like Ebaumsworld or Newgrounds with them.

That said, I support the current Anonymous project entirely. I support religion in all forms, but scientology needs to be taken down a few pegs.
