I don’t see how it would help stop anything. If these people are posting their intentions on a message board why isn’t anyone reporting it to police to check it out? Take away the message board and then there will be no warning at all.
8chan forum is down...

Also, I read in the comments of this twitter post

that 8chan mods tagged the FBI in the post...
In case you cant see it, the tweet says:
NBC News’ Pete Williams is reporting that the FBI identified the El Paso shooter from the 8chan post minutes before the attack, but was too late to prevent the attack.
The FBI was already on it.
