In Corbin Ky.forum, Tristan Hall posting as "Series as a Heart Attack" offered 5,000$ for someone to kill local radio personality Melissa Hall. Cops tracked her IP down and arrested her.
She spent 570 days in a detention center and home confinement. When the charges were dropped she sued the cops. Right at that time Topix took itself down. Thinking they were next to be sued,I don't know. But the timing was highly convenient. There were other cases of members suing each other, and complaints that Topix did nothing to protect it's users from the psychos it's anonymity attracted. I think this last drama occurred in 2018. That's what I found on Google anyway.There were rumors of suicides occurring from Topix posts. But I can't confirm that. The forum I was on was incredibly vicious.
Corbin, Ky is where Harlan Sanders became a Kentucky Colonel. I have been there, visitied a nearby state park, circa 2004....
