Evan Roth sent this article over to me today:
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Shii
Apparently this user was the one who suggested adding the "forced anonymous" feature to 4chan's software in 2005
This was changed in 2007 to allow for tripcodes (chan-experts -- correct me if I'm wrong here)
Does anyone know more about this? Can we credit Shii (+ moot + WT Snacks) as godfathers of "Anonymous" (the internet 'group'), or is that giving too much credit?
