Spammer's Identity!

I found out the identity of the person who spammed our forums. It's Paul's friend, Fenix. Here's how I found out:
  • The spammer criticized my graphic design on my site. There are several boards for graphic design at the forums that Fenix is an administrator at.
  • The spammer said that phpBB "sucks," and that YaBB SE was better. Paul's old host, Geeks Online (which Fenix is affiliated with), is running YaBB SE.
  • The spammer claimed that I don't know much about PHP (even though I know alot about it, probably more than him). At those forums I linked to above, Fenix claims to be a "PHP Master."
  • The spammer accused me of having a store-bought PC (which I don't), and was showing off about his dual Athlon XP. Here's Fenix's signature at those forums:
    Quote:
    I gotz mad php skillz!
    Dual p3 533EB 512mb SDRAM. 10gb Maxtor, Alton MB
    Dual XP 1800+, 256mb PC2100 ECC, 120gb WD SE, Asus MB
    p4 1.6a, 256 pc2700, 40gb WD, Need to buy a MB..
  • The spammer used two IPs, one for each name. Fenix mentions that he has several PCs networked in a post at those forums.
And here's the one that absolutely proves it:
  • The spammer used the IP address 12.248.103.4 when he posted as "HAHAHA," and 12.248.196.156 when he posted as "Ipwnzj00." Here's what I found when I did a lookup of cyphersshack.com at Samspade:
    Quote:
    dns cyphersshack.com
    cyphersshack.com resolves to 12.248.196.156
Just wanted to let everyone know who spammed the forums, and that Paul was probably behind it, since I doubt Fenix would know about my forums without Paul telling him. Sorry for making this an announcement, but I wanted to make sure Azure sees it when he gets back from vacation.
