That’s true, but a lot of the higher profile activities attributed to Anonymous was the particular group the parent comment is talking about. I know Kirtaner (founder of 420chan) was involved and has been talking about it a lot lately.

As a long term user of 420chan, I can say he has sadly lost the plot. All major happenings on the site were marked by his absence, and most downturns by his presence. He wasn't hiding in the shadows micromanaging the spooky anonymous hackers like he pretends nowadays, he's just a weirdo trying to relive and rewrite his glory days.

For most of its existence, 420chan has been plagued with administration incompetence and downtime, so I find it very hard to believe someone who can't even run a site is secretly masterful at hacking them.
