I posted my address on my site and welcomed all comers. :lol:

I have a big, vicious dog though.

Something like that happened to me, but I'm still alive :P

I banned a guy from one of my local forums (pretty active user, about 4k posts) but I didn't know that he was from the same city as me and in the same university ;D, he founded me and it was about to get ugly ...

But after all, everything ended good ...

I can attest to this - I run a gaming site and I was stalked to my house. Not as bad as the OP's story, but still could have turned nasty. I blogged my story on my site:

It still isn't solved but it's been almost 2 weeks without incident.

I will bet that there are a lot of stories like that, when you ask forum owners. A compilation would make a epic thread. Or a good book.

Well my offices are in Las Vegas and I live in Los Angeles ;)

So they can stalk me from 9am - 5pm PST :D

p.s. Tip to get rid of stalkers: Ask them for a loan and they will disappear! ;)

Hmm...that's not a bad idea. Maybe I'll get stories from Forum Owners and actually make a webpage or something dedicated to it.

Every owner of a game forum, make sure your members are happy! :D
