So how long do you think till Anon dies out from the government?

Two days away from his retirement.

Well no offense to anon, but from the last time I saw he looked a bit gay.

two years max, then Jack's Team of Ultimate Power will rule all. Here's our insignia!

Words of "Wisdom", brought to you by a raging preteen.

Anonymous will (sadly) live for ever…

I know, right? Poor fools, they are unable to understand that once something is unleashed on the internet, it cannot be contained.

In some form or another internet-based, ad-hoc, anonymous groups will live till the worldwide collapse of modern tele-communications; if that ever happens.

Anon will survive for years to come, though the far future Anon will surely be not much like our modern one.

"Anonymous will die out if heartless corporations continue to sell out our culture to those who do not understand it."

Not hard to understand, just stupid in nature, and not mainstream because of that.

Sigh…

Sigh? Sigh…

we are legion, we do not die

The end of Internet anonymity would mark the end of Anonymous. Though there will be darknets which would allow the further existence of an Anonymous-like entity, this would most likely die out over time due to the knowledge of its existence never reaching the mainstream.
Recently, there has been talk of a passport-esque identification system that would be mandatory to anyone who uses the Internet. Though this probably won't happen any time soon, it demonstrates how corrupt legislation could conceivably bring an end to Internet anonymity.
It isn't something we should be panicking over, but I advise everyone to keep up-to-date with all legislation concerning the Internet. It's important that we keep our governments in check, especially when it concerns our individual freedoms.

That actually derails this conversation into something a tad bit more interesting, I'll see if I can find some news on the subject.

EDIT

And found it I have, this is the FCC trying change the definition of the internet, from a Information Service to a Telecommunication Service.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8678750.stm

"In October, Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, and Representative Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, introduced bills to prohibit the FCC from creating formal net neutrality rules, after the agency launched a rule-making process to do so. Both bills have gone nowhere "

See I hate The Anonymous, but I don't want a bill that disallows Anonymity. Everyone has the Right of Privacy and free speech even Douche bags, trolls, and anonymous.

Its not the bill taking away the rights, its the FCC deciding what the internet is classified as.

I actually think that the bill John McCain proposed would help it stay anonymous.

that was directed more at the first bit of the convo than your note.

My bad.

Salright bro!

Forever. Anonymous will always be there.
