But how do they get the information when the only place they know you from is quake/gamespy? It seems to me there may be a command you can type into the console in quake to get it but I can't really remember if there is or not. One thing I do wonder is : why do they do it? Even if you know how to do it to someone it just isn't a very nice thing to do, so what gives them the idea that they should do it? Maybe just mean people?
