Well there must be something funny about the fact that it's in alabama but I'm not aware of anybody in that area. Heck it could be aphexII in europe or something who just registered it ;)

How the hell did i get brought into this? :)

I have better things to do with my time...

I.E. leach porn sites, didnt you see the thread? :D
Just an example. It could be gobadgrs. He has a lot of free time!

I'm honored you'd think of me, but at least I would do the site up properly with Flash and everything. You have seen what I can do. I wouldn't go through all that trouble and then post a page that I worked on for 5 minutes in Frontpage.

Thinking about it some more, I'm pretty sure I know who it is.

Frankly, I'd really like to take a guess at it here...but I won't. :D

Man, I really need to stop slacking. I've got a four page paper to write; I'd have to be
crazy to sit here posting all night and not get anything done. :p

Late at night I always have a hard time with procrastination.

Oh well.

Fsck this. I've got to get some work done.

Anyway.

Bleh.

At first it was funny. Even with us trying to track the guy down it was funny. It got scary when he "threatened" nik.

Yeah, I called him. He won't give out information, hiding behind privacy.

When I looked up the username that went along with the email, I got this:
No Customer was found. Please verify your search values, or try a different search method. (ARWARN 10000)

Maybe it's a host name of the computer instead of the username, which does me no good.

I can't seem to look up their account, either. I can search by:
Modem MAC Address
Phone Number
Account Number
Modem Serial Number

Visual Route is showing IP packetloss are being lost past the hop of "AT&T Worldnet Services ATT" which is hop 16. I'll try that again later.

Whoever it is, made this damned hard. Makes me want to find the d00d and strangle him :p

Gobadgrs, I found that the IP's of the posters were visable in the guestbook. They were in the HTML source as comments. After posting about it here, I went back to the site and the guestbook had changed to a different provider. Thus everything was lost.

I figured as much. Unfortunately, my history info with those pages are on my home computer. I'm now at work.

Okay, MrsSkoorb gotta post! It took me forever to read this!

Webmaster contacted me a few days ago with his idea and wanted to make sure it was okay with me and that I would approve the site before he launched it...approve in the sense that Skoorb wouldn't be upset that is. Webmaster, as he calls himself, wanted to make sure that Skoorb would be okay with the whole idea and not freaked out. I assured him that Skoorb is an easy going guy and it would be great fun and asked for a hint towards his identity. yeah, well, the hint I got was useless. Of course I have talked to him on AT in the last 6 months!

Anyhow, I love the idea and Skoorb and I think the site is great, especially with the information Webmaster managed to get...that's kinda scary but neat and fun nonetheless. He is a tricky little guy with apparently great resources!

So, no one needs to go calling and ask them to remove it. It is all in good fun. :)

PS. It was NOT me. :p

Sorry, I missed the original site, and just started poking around. I did not mean to insult anyone's pride.

Well now that the joke appears to be over ... the question remains: Will the "webmaster" reveal himself/herself?

Well, as soon as I can get my freaking trace route working properly (or ATT.NET fixes their crap), they may not have to.

Shmabbles? I'm not sure if I wanna know where that came from!

No one's figured out who made the site yet? Whoever it was has a lot of time on their hands!
