So you all are referring to the hacktivist group right? Because you all seem confused.
For far too long Encyclopedia Dramatica has gone without proper information regarding the Anonymous collective, mainly due to the fact that, for years, such a write-up was completely unnecessary. These were the ages when Anonymous was simply the army of /b/, an anarchistic troll force with a slight touch of moral-blam!-ry that progressively grew stronger. Today, the masses know Anonymous as "a hacktivist collective" that, through means of packets, protesting, and web defacement work to defend and preserve such ideologies as free speech, freedom of the press, etc. At the same time, news stories occasionally float up detailing 4chan campaigns to bring grief to grieving families, or send pop stars to communist nations. Any reader looking to inquire knowledge on such people, and with a solid lack of e-culture knowledge, would now be asking themselves questions that can broadly be placed under the what, who, and why categories.
That force still exists on 4chan and I've seen it, Anonymous is just a collection of masses of people who do something. You all seem to confuse this with the hackivist group. The prior is the group getting cat abusers arrested, the former are the more organized hackers not associated with 4chan.
