Has anyone considered that the HI Facebook page was hacked, and the black profile picture/cover photo are simply there to reverse the damage?
Sorry, I'm just trying to balance out the optimism

Or maybe it’s you who did all this? The parody, the inverse profile picture,... don’t know why any respectable member would do this though.egbdf wrote:Sherbet Head wrote:Has anyone considered that the HI Facebook page was hacked, and the black profile picture/cover photo are simply there to reverse the damage?

What're the odds it would've been hacked by someone who has enough BoC knowledge to put on a decent hoax?
Take the Whitney Houston profile pic for example. That photo hasn't been seen (AFAIK) anywhere but the Sheol Boundary channel 8 years ago. And that channel is even obscure among BoC fans. No one still active on twoism remembers it but me (unsurprisingly). It doesn't turn up in image search.
So it seems like either both are legit or both are fake and done by the same person.

If this was the case I would expect both a statement or something from mdg and the page to be deleted.. or some other way to message that what has happened over the last few days is just a ruse or hoax

But why would they delete their own page? I'm not disputing the legitimacy (even though I'm not 100% convinced just yet) I'm simply entertaining the possibility it may have been hijacked by a mischievous fan.
And lets assume it's a fake page entirely: would the bros even possess the power to shut down something with 'Hell Interface' branding? 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?

The bandcamp one is legit.

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.

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.egbdf wrote:Fredd-E wrote:Or maybe it’s you who did all this?

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.

Very skeptical now. Sorry.
There were some issues indeed. We got notified. All good now. Unless they resurfaced...Moz wrote:Fredd-E wrote:The bandcamp one is legit.

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

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