Who are running wild in the anons?

Lots of bad blood from the "good old days" of AKP. They can't let a lot of their resentment go. In many of the rejected posts, there are mentions of things that happened on the old forum, things I didn't even know about. Specific users being named or referenced for what they allegedly said years ago pertaining to K-pop.

The other portion are forum lurkers, often coming from the news side, but they don't want to be regular forum users. They can't help but reply to one Anons thread, usually with the intent of defending their favorites. Next thing you know they're sucked into this Anons world and they're creating their own threads to "retaliate." It becomes a cycle, and of course, those old users have their own words to say. That's basically what happens.

A few of our main users see this, speculate these Anons posters are regular forum users, and get into it. Ready to be "shooters" as the cool folks here often say.

It's fun to think our regular users are the ones hiding out in Anons and starting things — conspiracy theories are interesting after all — but the majority of the time they're there, they're probably just defending their groups and their fandoms, albeit aggressively at times.

Disclaimer: This is just my theory, of course.
