I need to know how (or if) I can find out information about someone posting on a website if I'm not the system admin.

No, it's no one here.

Thanks.

Website, as in forum where the other guy regularly posts and views?

If so, post to that forum with an image... that's hosted off of a webserver that you set up.  You can then check the logs and find his IP address from when he viewed the image... that'll at least get you what city he's in.

As far as more info?  Sending PM's as another user and performing some "social engineering" may be in order.

Don't have a webserver of my own. The douschebag is in LA.

Zaphod, there is an extremely thin line between legality and breaking the law here.

I'd advise discretion...

I figured. Don't worry, I'm not going too far with it (if anywhere).

Just curious as to what the options are.

Yeah. All I get is a bunch of MySpace crap from other places and the forums I'm in!

Don't worry about it. I'm just going to ignore him. He's a peon.

Unless you guys want to come and help!
