I don't know if it's still the case but for years after it happened you could go on the forum and all his posts were there, including his chatting with his victim. It was really interesting seeing the two of them negotiating one of their deaths. And of course all Armins previous posts both trying to find victims and general cannibal chit chat.

Freaky. It's probably archived somewhere.
