- Perceval 16y agoThis experiment, if I recall correctly, was done by Shii. Shii was (at one point) involved in 4chan, and along with moot and W.T. Snacks implemented the period of forced anonymity on /b/. He has his own website, where he talks about lowering the barriers to participation: http://shii.org/knows/Anonymous http://shii.org/knows/Anonymous
- astrange 16y agoI don't remember a "the period of forced anonymous on /b/". It's happened multiple times, although most people are already Anonymous so you wouldn't notice. Although I also don't see what it has to do with this. Removing names isn't somehow more anonymous than just allowing no name. (And having a random name is the same thing as no name. Slightly more interesting too.)
