Method of tracking IP Address

Ryan.carpediem · Post by **Ryan.carpediem** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 1:32 pm

Hi all, is there any possible means of tracking down a person's IP via his/her youtube name?

This "LimJanus" guy who claims he knows me personally from school flamed me in the youtube videos I uploaded( including tire flip and farmers walk) , calling me a weirdo and accusing me of trying to "make up for my weird/strange/funny behaviour by doing this weirdo training" and the proverbial "you still look the same after so much weirdo training so why do you train so hard LOL! " . However, When I tried to address his negative remarks/personal attacks in a civilized and rational manner, he tried to provoke me further by threatening to "show the rest [my] videos that this weirdo is so "strong" after all!....didn't know you are mentally weak but have so much physical prowess! LOL! "

However I checked with everyone I know, and googled him and there's no such person in my school so I think it's a fake name he's using.

I hope to find his IP address and perhaps compare it with those of my friends tagboards or something. Anything to hunt him down.

Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

PS. I know in some of my old videos I shouted like a mad men ie. deadlift 1RM and I decided to remove them. However this was before the comments were made on my concentric front squat, tire flip and farmers walk video. I've now set all of them to private.

EDIT: full comments: warning wall of text!

Yes,Ryan,I know you personally from school. LOL! Why train all these funny things??? Change your weird ways in school first before anything else! Don't think that by becoming strong/buff etc,you can make up for your utterly strange attitude/character!By the way,you still look the same as before even after all this funny training...What's the point of training then??? LOL!

Wow,"strong" sia...What's the point though of doing all these funny exercises? No matter how "strong" you are...your character and attitude is weird,that's why you're such an outcast in school...Perhaps you should look into this first before anything else...

Wah,very "strong"sia...but do you think this will make you more popular with your peers/make people like you more? Nah,no chance in hell! Change your attitude first before doing this form of weirdo training...LOL!!!
.........
"strong" sia...but what's the point of being "strong" if you are a weirdo in school whom nobody wants to talk to??? LOL! "strong" muscles,no brains,character like weirdo like that! LOL!

Ryan to Janus:
Hi Janus Lim, do I know you?

You said my character and attitude is weird, but what makes you say so if you don't know me personally?

I know there are people who might think I'm weird and all, but then again what has tt got to do with these videos and the training that I do? I'm doing this form of "weird/weirdo" training, as you label it, because it's my own interest and also because I'm training for competition. I don't expect it to make me more popular with my peers/make ppl like me more, in fact I do expect ppl to see this as a weird activity. From your comments in the video, you seem to know more about me than I do myself...care to elaborate on what you think I should "look into first..."?

JanusLIM: I know you from school. LOL!

Do you really think by doing all this funny training,you can make up for your strange behaviour in school? LOL!

By the way,how come you still look the same as before? All this weird training don't seem to make you more buff or what...what for train so hard? LOL!

Ryan to JanusLim:
1)I see. So you're from SAJC. have we met before? Or is Janus Lim really your name?

2) No, i still don't see the link between my "strange" behaviour as you name it and my personal interest in Strongman training. What makes u think I'm trying to make up for it by training? Actually, no I'm pretty sure this "funny" training will make ppl perceive me as weird/strange...but surely u don't give up ur interest just because of other's opinions?

3) You're quite right, I look the same as before. You already said, this is "weird/funny" type of training. Do you see ppl getting buff from doing it? No...I'm training to prepare for competition...so my aim is not to become buff/look different
Why do I train so hard? - Certainly not to please others.

4) It seems like you really have something against me and my behaviour to make such comments....you say my behaviour is "weird/funny/strange" in sch...what makes u say so? And what do u mean by "change my weird ways in school?"

his reply:

Yes,weirdo,we know each other personally.

Should I tell the rest of your videos? Show them this weirdo is so "strong" afterall!!! They'll be in awe...didn't know that though you are mentally weak,but you have so much physical prowess!!! LOL!!

Hm...just curious though. I heard you've had to deal with this sort of negative comments/flaming before. How did you react to this kind of thing?

I'm particularly concerned cos this guy said he knows me personally(called me Ryan) and he's from my sch...if it's just some other ignorant angmoh/keyboard warrior typically found in youtube then I would just del his comment.

Though we never meet before, but i also know your name is Ryan. Do you have blog, friendster etc? Anyone can find out your school etc etc easily.

I have lots of flamers attacking me too, but so what? Don't get affected. if you were to be affected, it can seriously affect your life and so on, that's what they want.

Just laugh it off. You see, i got this email yesterday.

Hi Kevin, heard that you're a nice guy,mind commenting on my form in these videos,thanks! Squat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfn4YgAZ ... re=related Deadlift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaTf2Qyu ... re=related Once again,thanks!

Ah well. Guess you are right. Just concerned that my reputation in sch will be affected or worse this might be a classmate or someone who smiles and says hi to me, but does such thigns behidn my back.

What reputation? lol

If you're an ass in real life, don't need to be a psychology professor to read a post online to learn that you're an ass.

Needless to say, if you're a nice guy, then you need no affirmation from a post on youtube to be one.

Be glad, people are watching and noting your achievement and you have yourself to prove/responsible for..so who gives a crap.

Oh ok. Cos I'm the president of my CCA...so a lot of ppl know me...though good or bad I dunno....I'd rather be low profile.

But anyway I think you're right, I don't have to prove anything to anyone.

I just leave you with the quotation by Layne Norton,

I try not to let what others are doing influence my decisions,because I feel that you got to make decisions for yourself,you got to be true to yourself,because if you let what others are doing influence what you do,you really have nothing left for yourself.

Haha, funny man. Bochup lah. Take it from us "3 heavenly kings", or "3 stooges", as they like to call us. We get flamed so much by the same few people also bochup, coz we know they're the minority. You get flamed by 1 person buay tahan liao ah? You wanna put videos on youtube you have to be prepared for any and all criticism and praise. Otherwise, just disable comments and save yourself the agony

Maybe you can join us become "4 heavenly king". I chope Andy Lau first.

I have learnt a lot in 2008 also.

Whenever you see such flame attacks again, don't reply immediately. Go take a walk and you will see it from a different perspective later. You may even laugh about it when you realized how dumb these people are.

Cyber Bullying spotted.

If you want to get his ass picked out, just lodge a police report.

5. Tell your parents or report to the authorities

If you are still a student, informing your parents about the bullying will very likely put a stop to your problems. If the bully is from the same school as you are, you might also want to let a teacher know so that appropriate action can be taken.

Should the situation get serious, such as when the bully threatening to harm you or someone else, or when your reputation is being undermined, you should report the case to the police. If the bully does cross the line of the law, he or she may be nabbed.

According to Keystone Law Corporation director Bryan Tan, the Chief Justice said in 2004 in an Internet cheating case that "if the Internet misuse was peripheral to the offence committed then the real-world consequences should apply". So while he did not recall any case of cyber-bullying going to court, said Mr Tan, it may just be the same as bullying - whether it is criminal intimidation, extortion, or criminal defamation - the real world laws and penalties are still applicable.

...you put your stuff in public for all to see, there's always some assholes that don't like your stuff.

you really shouldn't spend any effort keeping track of assholes. there's no end to it. if it actually bothers you, then you probably should stop posting stuff in public.
