In the meantime, maybe you could play some online poker... I hear it's a great way to win a lot of money.
* Please Note: "Try again later" does not mean "sit there mashing the 'reload' button 50 times a second" because if everyone does that, it' s just going to take that much longer for the load on the server to ease up.
Their server's been brought to it's knees. What are the options of a hoster in a situation like that? Can he offload to another server to increase bandwith? And is it a payday for them?
I'd be a little worried about legal fall out if that got has any coin to spare. In PA, at least, it is very well documented that any use of "meghan law information" for the purpose of harrassment is illegal.
They may be crossing the "public information/ public forum" line with the driving by the house and posting link after link to his picture from the federal site.
I didn't read the thread at the other board so I'm only going by what I've read here but I have to ask ... am I completely alone here in thinking that 1) going to those extremes to research someone from the internet is creepy, and 2) slaying this complete stranger for a past nobody knows any detail about is almost as screwed up as #1? The internet has become a big playground for spiteful people with too much time on their hands.
Now - if someone were to come back and tell us all that this cat was convicted of some disgusting shit involving children and show proof to back that up I'd not feel one bit of pity for him ... but I'd STILL think the person who went to such measures to look up his past was a creep.
there problem lies in he was spamming the board, saying he won 100k off HIS website. and they called him on it using a whois on the domain name. theres where they got all his info from. then a quick google of the name came up with the child predator thing.
i dont think it was THAT much work. doesnt make it right... but i still find it funny.

I think this happens on every board out there. Why would people research you, find out your RR name and address and work info? I'm wondering why they went to the great length of even typing this guys name into the sex offenders website. What made him even think about doing that? That does not seem to be the actions of reasonable thinking.
Great, the child molester was made, and as far as I am concerned, he can rot in hell for the rest of eternity, but waving a loaded gun in a room full of innocent people and accidentally shooting the bad guy does not excuse the fact that you should not be waving a gun at innocent people.

Well, if he invited them to do it, then it changes things a little and serves him right. Still, who would want to waste their time doing and actually care enough to do the search?

Precisely. There's a few things I find utterly distatseful about this. Obviously, the fact that people will go to such lengths to dig up dirt on strangers they encounter online really wrankles me to begin with. Secondly, if this man is guilty of a crime involving a child then there's an innocent victim out there who could stumble onto this crap online due to it spreading like wildfire as these things tend to do. What a horrible thing for a victim or his/her family to come across - not to mention the innocent family members of this guy, too. Third and lastly: what if this guy's big crime was getting caught having sex with his 17 year-old girlfriend when he was 19? Hardly a crime, but still one in the eyes of Megan's Law.
No ... I just fail to see the funny in this entirely. Leave the witch hunting back in 1692 where it belongs.
