And, KNOWING he had access to a forums account, sadly enough, some people out there DO USE the same passwords sometimes between, oh, I dunno, Forums, Emails, Paypals, w/e else you can have.
Sure, no harm was done, but what if it was. You can't just hum and ha that "Oh, he didn't actually -do- anything, so no harm was done." That's like turning a blind eye and pretending you didn't see shit.
So sorry, I disagree with you. Cause I was an admin to a forums, and I certainly know what it's like dealing with impudent little shits who do shit they shouldn't. You have to treat everything like it is something big.
And about posting IP Address. If ANY hacker is worth anything, they can find that out without requiring the aid of looking in this thread
