Original thread here.
As i understand it, nobody "hacked" anything, but rather access to the messages was provided to somebody. So assuming you are using "hacked" in the sense meaning obtained through illegitimate means, that would be incorrect. In fact they were obtained with the knowledge and consent of somebody who either intentionally gave access to the board or transmitted legit copies of the posts. No hacking here, bro. And more importantly, in the 15-some years those posts have been on display here, nobody has ever challenged their authenticity.
