There really isn't enough info on that poster... A dynamic IP that belongs to a major ISP isn't going to do much for ya without a subpoena or a huge corporation that nobody wants to mess with (like a major international financial institution) behind you. There's no name, there's no domain listing, there's nothing but an IP that doesn't necessarily even belong to the same person anymore. If the ISP holds arp table entries when a modem disconnects, there's a good chance he still has the IP but if not - you guys are messing with someone that had nothing to do with anything.. If that kid on the other forum was actually a casualty of mistaken identity he'd have a hell of a libel and harassment case against a lot of people.
That other board found the info on that shitbag because of the whois record for his domain, not his IP address. They had the guys name, address, ph#, etc. The forum released a lot of personal info on the dude too, they confirmed his name, gave out his DOB, etc. That's a positive match for the kiddie fucker, and the guy is taking it WAY too well for it to not be him. The forum did what they did because they wanted the fame and notoriety that comes with having a thread like that. Not illegal, but I guarantee I won't ever start an ID on a forum that willing to give up its users, I seriously suggest nobody else does either.
That said -
I applaud the effort to own the poster, but please, be mindful of what you may be doing. As someone said, tracking someone down on the internet isn't difficult - as easily as you can get someone's IP and ICMP flood them, they can see where the attack is coming from. Spamming a forum is straight up douchebaggery, but DOS attacks are illegal.
