Anon boards aren't that sophisticated. They are rather byzantine in their designs, be it looks- or features-wise. You get an "alias" box you should probably leave empty, a "tripcode password" box, a "Text" box, a "Post" button, and a red cross button to close the "comment" subframe without posting, and sometimes additional details (like a flag drop-down menu on /pol/ that will show on your posts.)
I'm not that concerned about a single character signature lacking at the end of a post. Might raise an eyebrow, might be evidence of impersonation among others, but that's feeble evidence in the face of strong cryptographic authentication like a tripcode.
However due to Q being a high-profile "individual", due to his long absence, due to his style of actually putting "Q" at the end and it's missing in the last drop, well, even the tripcode should be doubted.
For all I know, someone broke the tripcode cryptographic security using a quantum computer, those things are very well-suited at breaking things that would take thousands of years for the best classical supercomputers. It's public knowledge those are not stable enough to achieve breaking things like RSA yet, or the banking system would have shut down already... Or are they?
