Derpnip:

You can go through Centurylink's services if you like, but the fact remains that many, many people can be (and are!) DDoS'd because they don't take suitable precautions on IRC...

I know for a fact you can get someone's ip from Messenger, and Skype. But it usually involves having them send you a file (funny picture, stat sheet, w/e).

But just a little pet peeve...whenever a fan-site gets hacked multiple people in rs get hacked (most recently a Dutch site). PLEASE encourage your people to NOT use one password on multiple sites.

I made a thread a little like this in Account Help. :)

Some pretty good tips here; may want to add these also-

Get a firewall!
It nerfs hackers DDoS attacks and direct attempts;
ZoneAlarm is a good free one; has an antivirus for free too!

Don't add your location to websites. It's OK to say your country, but I still advise against it. Giving any area, eg- crater 1 of the Moon; could be specific enough for someone if they managed to get ANY information you'd normally share.
