The answer is No.
We often get asked if we can see who made a guestbook entry. We cannot. All we can do is find an IP number which we can give to the police if they request it after you have filed a formal complaint.
There is not much you can do with an IP address. It may lead you to a broadband supplier, but it says nothing about where it goes or to which of their customers. What’s more, computers nowadays do not always have the same IP address since a computer borrows an IP address when it goes online. The next time it goes online, it may well have a completely different number.
Internet is a very anonymous media and it is extremely easy to be incognito if you want. A visit to a website is completely different than if you log in to community. While it is impossible to see precisely who has visited your website, it is possible in a community. Facebook is an example of a community.
