ECCIE.NET is private registered with GoDaddy, not my first choice, but for just the name, not horrible.
ECCIE.NET servers appear to be in London, UK. Again, being part of the EU not my first choice, but not horrible.
Someone would need a court order then ask London for a court order to hand over to the server location. For the EU, not something that difficult.
Your profile doesn't have any personal info right? Your only concern from ECCIE info would be if (probably are) IP addresses are logged, which would point to your home or phone, but court order would be needed.
Why go to all that trouble when all a PI would have to do is register and read all your forum posts. Which isn't proof of anything. Your reviews could be a figment of your imagination.
All they have is your handle? Unless you use that same handle everywhere else, like your gmail, (don't), or it's a handle that ties to your real life somehow. Can't delete your reviews, but get rid of any tie to your handle to your real life.
Ask an admin if you can change your username. I use a random bunch of letters and only used on 1 site / forum.
I'd be more concerned with all those cash withdrawals, your car GPS, phone records (you're NOT using your real phone number for hobby right?) including phone gps, dash cam, gps someone stuck on your car. Phone tracking someone installed on your phone. Text messages are not on the phone bill, but the numbers are logged and on your bill if you use regular SMS from your real phone number.
Tons of other things to worry about.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR/OUTING?
