Here you go, some useful stuff about Anonymous:
Do not confuse Anonymous with:
4chan, or
/b/
Here are some quotes and images:
"People these days seem to think we are some sort of Internet vigilante group, That couldn't be further from the truth. We are the little voice in the back of your head that wants to fuck your hot sixteen year old daughter. We are the father who beats his six year old child simply because he spilled his beer. We are every chef that's ever spit in some random person's food for the hell of it. We are the pyromaniac who burns down the homeless shelter for shits and giggles. We are the person who rapes the same girl twice. We are that feeling you get when you beat your pets; and enjoy it. We see some guy hang himself live, we laugh. A wrestler kills his family, we laugh. Some maladjusted Asian shoots up his university, we laugh. Fifty-thousand die in North Korea, we laugh. AIDS ravages a continent, we laugh. An Austrian man locks his daughter in his basement for 24 years and fathers 8 children with her, we laugh. A religion invented by a psychotic writer swindles countless gullible fucktards out of their cash, we laugh, and then go kick his religion's ass just for the hell of it. We aren't some vigilante group righting wrongs. We aren't your friends, your buddies or your saviors. Your feelings mean nothing to us. We are human nature unencumbered by pointless ethics, foolish moralities or arbitrary laws and restrictions. We are every dark impulse you have; unrestrained and fully realized. We are what deep down, you wish you were. We exist as a means for instant gratification, purely at our own whim. We have no culture, we have no laws, written or otherwise. We are an autonomous collective, each an insignificant part of a whole. You cannot assimilate us, we do not change. You cannot defeat us, we do not exist. You cannot infiltrate us, we know our own. We do not sleep, we do not eat and we do not feel remorse. We will tear you apart from outside and in, we have all the time in the world. You operate under the delusion that we will someday be outdated, that we might even see the light. You are irrevocably wrong. You are not special, you are not unique and you aren't crusaders for justice. You're a blend of college age faggots who think that they can do some sort of good, and who are desperate to belong, to have attention. You have accomplished nothing, and you will fall. Enjoy your AIDS, faggots."
"Aha! To be astounded. An army of assholes, an association armed with an arsenal of asinine ambiguously adult anonymii. This antiquated armada no mere attack force, is an astounding assembly of articulate aristocrats. Assuming the collective affliction has not abruptly atrophied, another day of ardent internet arguments arises. Under the ambiguous aegis of internet anonymity, all annoying assertions may be announced with reckless abandon. Apology? Do not forgive. Alas, I am all aflutter. After the anticipation....You may call me Anonymous."
"Anonymous has no face, no race and no origin. Anonymous is a force and as such, simply is.
Anonymous is not I, you, or we. Anonymous is all without name, blame, and restraint.
Anonymous cannot be hurt, damaged, or stopped. Anonymous grows at a rate that only itself can comprehend.
Anonymous has no leader, no organization. Anonymous is a wandering mass of both order and chaos.
Anonymous is here, Anonymous is now, Anonymous will always be.
Anonymous has another among its unfathomable ranks.
Anonymous is Legion, Anonymous is Immortal."

When it comes down to it they're just a big mixed bag of people, right?
The poster above seems to think they are some kind of modern voice of legion given breath via the internet.
From the small amount I've seen, the vast majority are relatively harmless compared to a smaller group- the clever ones. Those guys, well, I should think they get hired for some of the stuff they do.

I tend not to care too much about what they do.
Ye Olde Anon was cool, but now-a-days almost every thing that comes from 4chan is lacking in its past quality. For example B is but a shadow of its former glory (same for Anon)

Moronic overgrown children living in their mothers' basements dealing out humiliation via the internet through 'lulz'.
Hell let them; entertains me.

Why is internet fucktards an option?
p.s joke, please don't kill me.
Serious opinion: Anonymous are a bunch of people who have decided to imitate "V for vendetta", some initially started and others joined, clinging to the idea. Mostly people join to be part a group more powerful than themselves, however only a fool would mistake this as a sign of people clambering to a freedom otherwise suppressed by a totalitarian government. People enjoy the power and use it to wield against weaker individuals. Now teenagers and middle age office workers can put on a grumbly voice and a mask and claim they fight on ideal and principle. They don't represent the masses, they represent a collective. They will fight without faces because they are afraid, and how can anyone respect an enemy that hides.
In V for vendetta people put on masks to show unanimity, they show courage by being their in person, walking straight into the barrel of a gun.
Anonymous wear masks to hide, and show their cowardice by hiding behind computers.

Well the hacking caught my eye. I don't think people should do violent things or illegale things just to say "We believe in free speech." Next they'll be hacking into news because they are saying too much about the group.
EDIT: After reading some other posts I have come to a conclusion. They are people. It's true that they are what we are with social justice but having them(I am using them not knowing if it is more than one person)say that who gives a shit if you go rape some girl and then have sex with your daughter? Sorry, not cool. I think that the social "masks" we wear are there for a reason! Sure, go ahead and laugh that someone died. But don't harm others because you think that since you can, you arn't a conformist.

To be fair to them, having an irl 4chan would be impossible. And they have done protests in real life as well, so they don't all hide behind their computers. The Guy Fawks Masks are so they remain anonymous.bad rider said:
On another note I really like 4Chan.
I think Oscar Wilde says it best "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." It's a place where you can be yourself, without having to have the restraints of normal social interactions, and a place like that is great sometimes.
Generally speaking, I think they're the ultimate personification of the Internet Fuckwad Theory. [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/3/19/] However they do occasionally take up a noble cause, such as fighting against laws that would squash creativity and sent us spiraling into an Orwellian society. So when they do that, I support them, although I don't necessarily approve of their methods.
I see them as bored people needing something to do in order to make their lives feel like they're actually worth living...and ultimately doing something that either is in fact a good thing or doing something that was quite unnecessary.
Either way - it's almost always bound to be lulzy.

There basically like... WE OWN INTERNET, IT IS OURS, WE DO AS WE CHOOSE.
So As much as I agree with some of their actions, others seem random and pointless, and only to annoy people.

sorry but didn't I do this EXACT same thread not to long ago? It was last thursday and no one posted, I guess in the 4 days afterwards people wanted anothe thread
Anonymous is a group of teenagers to late 20 year olds who think they have an impact on the world when 90% of people don't know who they are (because 90% of people who claim to be "Anon" are kids sitting on the internet living in a dream world).
Most of them believe in free speech but take it too far as a result.
They are not generally anarchist, but like to think of themselves as such because, let's face it, anarchy is a cool sounding word.
They are not vigilantes, because as I said, most of them sit on their asses and do nothing, and the select few (less than 100) of them who have ACTUALLY ever done anything of importance probably wouldn't associate themselves with the group anyway.
It's just a convenient label for kids to say, "Oh man, WE stopped a mass murder." or "WE caught a pedophile." or "WE made Scientology the joke it is today.", when really the credit belongs elsewhere.

Feh. "They" only seem to do something for the common good when it looks like that it might directly affect "them".
Where's the option of "They're a group of twelve-to-fourteen year old kids trying to fit into a secret club who often claim they're a part of some big plan to 'hack' something by using a DDoS program whilst downloading games from a private tracker they found using Google"?
Seriously, the whole 'Anonymous are internet terrorists/vigilantes' thing is just silly. As it happens, the fact that there's this stigma that Anonymous is a tightly knit group a very organised individuals is a great help to those who actually want to make a point as they could just put the blame on them ("I wasn't the one who brought down the network, I was hijacked by the group of hackers known only as Anonymous, there's nothing I could do") and it helps to boost the revenue of 4chan.org. If you're curious about what actually happens on the chan sites, go there and look. Most of the time, it's surprising that they can organise themselves out of a paper bag, especially on 4chan.
They're not hackers. They're not terrorists. They're not vigilantes. They're not fighters of justice. They're kids looking at lolcats and repeating the same jokes over and over because it makes them feel good.
