I don't know, but I always sort of liked that about 4-ch. The mix of Anonymous people and tripcoders. I was around since the start of 4-ch, and oddly enough people didn't really start making a big deal out of tripcodes and projecting the ideal that everyone should be anonymous until around when 4chan really started to spread the anti-"tripfag" message.
