    Have any boards threads ever been used by the police to investigate a crime?

    Yes, the DPP accepts opinions on an internet forum as evidence of a criminal offence. :pac:

    However, you can be held accountable for what you post if you post inaccurate information about an individual/organisation.

    yes. Google is used in investigations, the google leads them to boards.ie. Also facebook and twitter.

    I know PMs can be handed over if there's a court order but I dunno about things on Boards.

    The semi incestuous relations between The Backwards Man and his fathers "lover" was investigated I believe.

    In that case, I have never committed any murders whatsoever.

    Yes happens all the time. That's why you should close your boards account every few days and set up new accounts regularly.
    You should also only access boards via vpn aand every few weeks pee on your modem and rip up the comm cables just to be sure.

    If all else fails, blame the seagulls. Damn bastards

    I set up new accounts every few hours. I'm in the hundreds now.

    You may remember me from such usernames as Tom M, sibbbs, speisekarte, il giornale, rereg 84, three seasons, gauss, Keith103, sonic13579 and so on.

    Yes. There was an instance a few years ago where a poster threatened a mod. As it was a serious threat I believe it had to be reported to the police. AFAIK it was followed up and an arrest was made.
