I'm not sure if they'll be successful, but I'm for it. The only reason I have a Facebook is because everyone else uses one and that basically forces you to get one. Instead of email it's always "just find me on Facebook." I don't like it all. It's hard to keep Facebook private, too much info starts floating around, and I really don't care what the people I had on my list had for lunch today. I'm hoping that Anonymous weakens the community support a bit so everyone moves over to Google+ or something. Either way I'm marking my calender right now and getting ready for the show.

I'm not really 'for' facebook being 'killed'. I'm totally for fucking with it though. I'd use it more often IF IT WOULD LET ME PUT MY FUCKING NICKNAME ON IT! Seriously, what's so hard about adding the name 'Shadari' to my facebook? Almost NO ONE calls me by any other name any more (Aside from the people on the internet).

Oh, and Bronies already crashed Facebook thanks to Danny Ingram promising to release a new song, then going to a movie and leaving his page free for a new Chat room for the Bronies. Just thought I'd mention that.

That would be one awesome birthday present.

Anonymous isn't what it used to be. I've been lurking on /b/ for 5 years now /b/ has lost a lot of it's bite. There was a little bit left when I started, but now it's turned into a meme factory that just flushes things down the toilet only to have them come out the faucet to use again. I've stopped browsing for the most part. There was a point where I was on /b/ more than I was sleeping. It was nuts. But, I do have /b/ to thank for my introduction to FiM. <3

/b/ has lost its influence, but Anonymous is still pretty potent. They have been getting a fair amount of recent recognition in the world, and the PSN scandal that they supposedly engineered was pretty influential. It got Sony off their tight asses for a few weeks.

I feel pretty much the same way about Facebook that Fluttershy does. But if you don't like Facebook, just don't use it. People who trust Facebook with their info should be allowed to do so, regardless of how foolish that decision may be. I think it's quite ironic that Anonymous is supposed to be about freedom, and yet tries to take away people's freedom to use Facebook.
