Anonymous can only be singular since it is an adjective.

If you come up with a sentence where you would use the plural of "anonymous", I would consider answering your question. Until then, the plural of "anonymous" is of no consequence.

Severeal [plural of anonymous] from 4chan /b/ raided George W. Bush's personal water closet today, under the wrong assumption of being able to find furry porn there.

Elaborate on that.

By the way, there should be a comma after the "no" in your sentence.

Sue me, typo.
It's late and stuff.

Either way, back on topic. I'm positive that sentence would mandate a plural of "anonymous".

Once again, anonymous is an adjective and therefore cannot be plural.

The anonymous imageboards have made it usable as a noun in some way though...

A group of anonymous people are anonymous, just as it would apply to anything else. Even if there was a plural form, it's been decided that it would still be anonymous by anonymous itself.
