So if you've been following the story of what's been happening with me and Anonymous, you will have seen that things seem to be building toward some sort of climax.
Well, last Thursday, it was decided that in order to have a better idea of where we wanted to take this thing, an "IRL meet up" (in real life meet up) was going to be required.
This was going to be no easy feat, as the majority of the members involved were spread out across the globe.
Even more challenging, getting around the cross cultural boundaries involved.
You see, it's not just us old-guard of 4chan involved. There are other participants from other realms of the internet, the world over, even Japan.
And so this past Sunday, the culmination of months of planning came to pass, and the first ever 4chan/2chan IRL meet up was set in organized.
Present at this gathering are some of the inner circle of both 4chan (the largest English based image board on the interent) and 2chan (4chan's progenitor, the largest image board on the internet).
The guy with the poofy hair in the middle of the crowd is Chris Poole, better known as Moot. He is the 4chan equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg (he was actually ranked #1 on Time's Top 100 people list of 2009... and no, I'm not kidding).
The other people in the crowd are various other MODS and participants from the involved websites (anyone wearing a black T-shirt would be members of the 4chan inner circle, including the friend who introduced to the whole world).
Basically, if the FBI had wanted to snag a great deal of people on the internet most wanted list, they should have been in Akihabara last weekend.
