They knew your ISP due to them seeing your IP. This has nothing to cause you any alarm as IP addresses are public information. What they probably did was they found you registered at their forums and got a hold of your IP. Then they just resolved it and voila, your isp pops up. |

thats what the ISP is, its the internet service provider. but even if they know what you use to connect to the net, they can't use it for anything, since ISP's dont give your personal info out. |

Yeah I don't think so, my ISP provider at one time showed I lived in a completely different state. You're overreacting.
