If we're talking about a group founded out of 4chan using 4chan's ideals and behaviorism, then using 4chan's terminology is appropriate. "Anonymous" as a group are just people who visit 4chan, thus you have to use their words to describe their social structure.
Hm, you've got me with the former. The latter I'd argue that they don't know how it works, so can't reasonably use it to convey information, but you do indeed have me with the first.
I wonder why it wasn't used in The Plan, though?
The reason is that there was never any such thing as FTL communication, and jump drives were pretty big things. You'd basically need to steal a ship, do the jump calculations yourself (Which, if you recall, took Galactica's computers about 20 minutes - and they were designed to do it as quickly as possible, so civilian ships would surely take significantly longer (And while the galactica was an old ship, it was shown that ships were upgraded across time, so there's no reason to believe it was old technology in the ship herself, just an old ship)), and even then, the fleet could jump out in just a few seconds if they were prepared, which they always were - and as there's no such thing as FTL communication, the cylons would still have no idea where they were, except they were down at least one spy.
The moment the fleet stopped moving (New Caprica), the cylons managed to pick up their lightspeed emissions (Well, a nuke, but I assume they would have eventually found radio transmissions otherwise). So, there's a very good, very well explained, reason in the show, and it all boils down to "FTL is hard, you can't do it without a ship" and "FTL is easy, if you can do it, you can keep it ready to go well before your enemy gets close".

If you RTFA, it says it's an unmanned probe - so zero people. No offworld colonies for us :(
Young? O'Neil was certainly not young - *they* asked *him* to come out of retirement, remember!
