    Hi,

    Someone is stalking me on the net. Whenever I open a new blog, ecommerce store etc. this person can tell its me and attacks me in all kinds of ways. Can someone name a forum where I can research how he's identifying me and what can I do to stop this or cloak myself? Basically I have opened new projects under different company names etc...and this person can still somehow figure out that it's me.

    Thanks!

    I'd file a formal complaint on whatever board you're receiving malicious posts and see what their policy is on releasing any info regarding IPs and locations etc. Depending on the nature and severity of the attacks, you might even be able to contact your local police and see about filing a formal complaint. If you're serious about it, there are ways to find them. Out of curiosity, is this someone you have personal experience with or have you only had contact by internet?
    Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.

    Maybe they always know when you're on because they are using your wireless network? Piss off any neighbors lately?

    I was thinking the same thing...nieghbor hacked your computer and now knows all. Heck, it could be a nieghbor a block over too, just screwing with you because they can.

    I have never met this person, only corresponded with them over ICQ and email. He is in the Czech republic and I'm in the USA. All he knew were two of my domains which were registered under different companies and somehow he traced them back to me.

    Why exactly did you come to a site named Videohelp to ask about a cyber-stalker?

    I did a search for "help with cyber stalker" (without quotes), and it came up with no links to this site.

    There are literally hundreds of sites that deal with this type of thing. Why don't you come back when you get your problem sorted out and you have a video related question (or answer even).

    On the other hand, we may be able to help your stalker in regards to converting his video from the spy camera that he installed on your property.

    Anyway, here's a link for you

    I think that this has been the stalker's plan all along. Further, I accuse Baldrick or one of the mods here as being the stalker in an elaborate plan to boost membership at Videohelp.

    That, or something to do with Cloverfield...

    Can't be both?
    All the VH mods are part of the Cloverfield conspiracy that is designed specifically to increase membership in these forums.

    Not accusing anyone but.... I often wonder if posts like these are elaborate set ups for spam. Won't do anything here because this forum isn't accesible to Google. But lets just say it is for the moment.... Spammer posts a topic like this, it gets lots of attention with a lot of good content. Post dies and falls into oblivion...EXCEPT the search engines still know its there. Spammer comes back in few months and edits posts with a bunch of spam links. Spam links never get found out because they never see the light of day.

    I've also seen on my own site similar behavior, spammer one posts topic. Actaully responds and keeps thread alive for while. Spammer two shows up a few days or weeks later and posts spam link. This I have actually confirmed because spammer one and two had same IP.

    Are you the stalker Tundra?
    His name was MackemX

    What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend?

    I thought there were tablets for this sort of thing.

    I reiterate:

    Why did this guy come here for the sole purpose of getting help with a stalker? Absolutely no posts regarding video (out of his entire 2).

    I have to agree with coalman here

    Not too terribly long ago I seem to have pissed somebody off on one of the many forums I use. I am an *******. No apologies.
    It could be anybody at any one of the 15 or so boards that I'm currently a member of. Hell, it could have been here for all I know.

    Whoever this angry soul is, they have been joining what seems to be random forums -- anything forum they can find -- with the user names Xylob or Xylob the Destroyer.
    Then they proceed to post all manner of inappropriate and often incredibly racist hate posts in my name.

    Sucks.
