A gaming forum administrator possibly saved the life of one member halfway across the country. Paul Stout (NoeJeko) from the internet gaming community MMOG ( http://www.mymmogames.net/ )noticed a post by one of members saying he had [drunk a cup of bleach and was waiting to die] ( http://www.mymmogames.net/forum/life-relationships/8924-its-sad-how.html) Within an hour, Paul had traced the user's IP address and contacted local law enforcement in Huntsville, Alabama. The Huntsville Police Department found the member's address from Internet Service Provider records and sent emergency units to his house. The outcome of this situation is not yet known and may never be by the forum's members, but a life was possibly saved last night.
