Haha, no. Not sure there's any way I can prove it. But when I was catching up on the thread the other day and saw that Whitney pic again I ended up getting a lot more involved than I usually do and caught up on everything because I had a unique piece of relevant information to contribute for the first time. Either in connecting it to a past fake (my initial assumption) or a past legit account, TBD. So yeah, goes without saying I'm a bit extra interested in Sheol given the circumstances.

The 'Boards of Canada' name is established and likely copyrighted to the high heavens, so there's no doubt they'll have some leverage when requesting page removal for that, but when it comes to the Hell Interface name, how much of an influence/legal standpoint do they have?

Maybe the name itself is dangerous to use in such legal actions especially when its primary purpose is making unauthorized remixes? As far as we know of course. Just a guess from an obvious standpoint. We know YT, bandcamp and something else is probably official but none of these are formally verified.
The bandcamp one is legit. Said it before.

Oh yeah, sorry. There was that takeover...

I want to believe you, but otherwise the things you said in your previous post almost sound like a confession (of being a hoaxer) to me.

Very skeptical now. Sorry. :)

That's fair, no worries. But are you thinking maybe I own Sheol Boundary and set that inverted pic after the HI fbook page to copy? Because there is concrete public evidence against that.

Including but not limited to, the discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11284&start=20

And I even mention the Whitney pic in that thread and perhaps as moderator you can see it wasn't edited (at least not in the past 8 years).


If you think I own Sheol and uploaded it before the HI fbook profile pic, then any remaining skepticism would basically be the same remaining skepticism that I have.

friendly reminder that Marcus's twitter would need to be hacked too in order for this "hoax" to work. Anyway, facebook's leak did not include password.

There were some issues indeed. We got notified. All good now. Unless they resurfaced...

I'm struggling to imagine what a hoaxer would have to gain from this.. all boc need do is say that it is a hoax and the whole thing would be defused.. it just doesn't seem worth the effort

But if it isn't a hoax it's indeed very strange that the fb page would go black and nothing else..

I was thinking in that direction indeed. But hey I'm not willing to burn witches here. :) I'm just getting more and more skeptical. Especially because it wouldn't surprise me some WATMM members could be having a very big laugh at our expense :)

Ok, this is very strange behaviour indeed.

My take: he actually reads this forum and doesn't want any of us prying into his private life. And that includes us not even looking into his instagram followers and making assumptions...

Okay one more bit of exonerating evidence in addition to what I mentioned above would be this comment on the original video, which does not say "(edited)" next to it:

And also google's cached version of the channel (at least when I checked earlier) showing it was there Mar 27. (EDIT:, thanks for corroborating TheStatPow)

Nonetheless yes, this seems possible.

Doesn't really prove anything I think? The hoax could've been in the making days before to be unleashed upon us 5th of April.

In retrospect egbdf was quick to connect some seemingly important dots and "coincidentally" on his own YouTube channel. #fishy #skepticalfred

So if you see it was on the yt channel mar 27 (and before) and then later showed up on the fbook page apr 5, then it sounds like you're saying maybe I'm running the fbook page? If that's the case, again, I have no evidence against that and you basically have the same skepticism that I (and everyone) has. I only have evidence that whitney was on the yt channel back in 2013.

I really doubt that this is the case.. but we'll see if I'm proven wrong.

Thanks for clarifying the matter. That unedited post is indeed significant.
