Let's say that there's a really annoying troll, and my friend is slightly obsessed about doxing them, how valuable would having their email address be? This is all hypothetical, of course, but aren't there websites where you can run traces on email addresses?

Say you could trace an email, which I am in no position to say is possible, you would still have the obstacle of whether said troll used their own information when setting up the email account. I think a troll would be idiotic to do so.

This particular troll is pretty idiotic; I've personally witnessed it on many occasions.

Oh, I know that is possible too. Remember how stupid Jeffy was? Mo nailed that motherfucker. Anyway, good luck. Tiberius would probably be able to answer your question. I shall summon him. Big Grin

Email addresses are valuable for doxing. I'm quite well versed in doing it, so if you want me to try and find the person, send me a PM with as many details as you can (email, usernames, sites he frequents, etc).

Oh have I got a treasure trove of goodies for you. Smile I'll gather everything I can and send it across, cheers.

Shelly, I actually noticed the spelling mistake but couldn't be bothered. I'm on a crusade, there's no time for all that spelling business!!!
