Guess i'm next. I use this same nickname pretty much everywhere i visit, save for a few exceptions.
My flag and birth date are accurate, but you can probably confirm that elsewhere with ease.
 
AndreTrek then.

Brazil, Male, Oct 12, 1995 as you say from the profile (that is quite impressively young to join). No website.
Windows Live says "지크하트" which comes back as Korean for Zeke Hart. I do not know if this is something meaningful, just some transliteration or something else entirely but I will note it for later.
PSN profile in signature for AndreTrekZ, game library might be worth noting and the addition of a Z as a potential preferred name alternation will have to be noted.
Equally the games in the profile may help correlate other games later.

Not many posts, or at least not many posts that have not been culled in some form.
http://gbatemp.net/threads/introduction.299985/#post-3754496 is interesting though as I now have milestails to look at.

I do see someone named milestails speak of gbatemp on a Portuguese speaking ROM site. (date of birth from their public profile on said site is "Outubro 12, 1975").

youtube link. I do not know if it was a random link you happened to have in the clipboard or something relevant to this.
It has been a while and figuring out of any comments were made is not my idea of a good way to spend time at 2:30am.

http://milestails.deviantart.com/ comes up from pipl for miletails and brasil as the location.

https://pipl.com/search/?q=andretrek&l=brazil&sloc=&in=6 then.

http://andretrek.tumblr.com/ has nothing but it does have the same avatar.
https://twitter.com/AndreTrek has not a lot other than some links to a streaming service for someone that is actually quite popular on twitter it seems.

http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/andretrek says you are 19 and pipl reckons you are in Brazil. A person named Reuku added you as a friend there and only has one other friend on the site, a reasonable spread of ages for them and the other friend has a kind a similar drawing style avatar. All three accounts have been inactive since mid 2013.

http://andretrek.deviantart.com/ has a few page views though it seems several are for today. Nothing on it though and nothing even to tie it to you. pipl reckoned it was Brazil though.

Boring old google

It seems like someone named andretrek is a serial hacking/game forum joiner but not poster, several seem to share avatars.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=iceweasel-a makes it sound like someone with your name won a contest, possibly on raptr.

Sticking that in skype's search I get andre.alves_ti in brazil.
Not sure what the underscore is for (it might be a blanked accented character). andre.alves just gets me a footballer from Brazil.
https://twitter.com/AndreAlves_TI

Alves is top 20 surnames in Brazil and http://www.babynamefacts.com/popularnames/countries.php?country=bzl#.VNl6qHi-ePc says andre is not uncommon either. Anyway I have gone through my sleeplessness so I will leave it there.

Mostly true, my preferred name variation is AndreTrekX, but i had already used it for my PS3 PSN account. The Z account is solely for my PS Vita.

http://gbatemp.net/threads/introduction.299985/#post-3754496 is interesting though as I now have milestails to look at.

Indeed, this account was originally called "milestails", which is a nickname i used when i was younger. And as you can see, i registered to GBATemp in July 2007, which means i was 12 back then.

I do see someone named milestails speak of gbatemp on a Portuguese speaking ROM site. (date of birth from their public profile on said site is "Outubro 12, 1975").

Might be me, i used to register using this birth date in order to fake my age.

That's indeed mine, a friend recommended tumblr to me, so i registered but never got around to using it.

https://twitter.com/AndreTrek has not a lot other than some links to a streaming service for someone that is actually quite popular on twitter it seems.

Not mine, my Twitter account has an entirely different name because AndreTrek was already taken when i registered.

Reuku is indeed my friend, but i don't remember ever registering to Kongregate. I probably just forgot about it though.

All of this is correct. Most of the Google results you'll get with my nicknames lead to that guild for a good reason, i was a part of it until it's last dying breaths.

Mine. I registered to make a single thread on the Ar nosurge PS3 board.

It seems like someone named andretrek is a serial hacking/game forum joiner but not poster, several seem to share avatars.

As you can see from my post count here in GBATemp, one of the forums i've visited for the longest time, i'm a lurker. It's quite possible that most of those are mine.

I did win a contest on raptr with that account you found earlier.

None of these are mine and my surname is not Alves. I'm surprised you didn't find my real name, since the YouTube videos on Pipl should have led to my Google+ account.

Quite impressive aside from a few mistakes.
 
Quite impressive aside from a few mistakes.

Most of my replies to this thread are less trying to find people (opening skype on my bed laptop to run that hotmail address was about as close as I have got to a proper search for anything) and more trying to teach others the underlying processes. The main one I want to get across being that people new to this sort of thing always seem to want to find really hard connections where turns of phrase, lists of common interests between sites and other things (fingerprinting being a term of choice here) like that are also very valuable. Other than GBAtemp I do not sign in/up for forums or anything. Sadly nobody that has asked thus far has either listed a personal site or linked/uploaded to one as that is actually far more interesting than pipl and search engines.

Truth be told I had one of those "Ignore the adverts" moments* on pipl and skipped the top entries in that and read the text instead, I shall remember to look at the top in the future. Assuming you have not changed it I just looked at the google+ account though and it only said AndreTrek and has a similar avatar to some others I saw, whether more will be shown to people that have actually signed into google plus I do not know -- twitter, facebook, reddit, lots of forums and generally lots of sites these days will give lots of info to anybody that spends 5 minutes signing up for a site, however I have none of those accounts so I am limited to what any guest can see.

*I read an article a while back and apparently some older people can quite happily find the download button on download sites with all the adverts that say "download here", lots of young people really struggle.

It was 3am as I posted the last one.

According to profile

Flag is for the US, no mention of a state in it.

From signature
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBHEx-xARak4Yr3YZ8s0lQA

http://gamebrew.22web.org/

Sadly both of those sites are nasty free hosts (well there is no such thing as a good free host but hey) so no whois, no who else is hosted on this IP... and all the fun web stuff. Might consider playing with the wayback machine though.

I will start by looking at those sites

keltonkostis appears to be your gmail address (I would suggest you stick it through something like http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/obfuscator.php ), whether this is your name or not I do not know. Kostis is a rare but not unknown surname if http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/..._PInfo=&msgpn_x=&msgpn__ftp_x=&gskw=&uidh=000 is anything to go by.

http://gamebrew.comyr.com/videos.html is also linked, though it is just an alt domain for a free hosting service again.

Names from those sites, worth noting for further lookups.
DarkFlare (Original founder, Owner)
Kelton2 (Owner)
Psi-hate (Co-Founder)
william341 (Site dev, web admin)

DarkFlare (Original founder, Owner)

william341 (Site dev, web admin)

godofwrath (Site dev, web admin)

From the sites there is also a gmail for DarkFlare and though you have posts lots on GBAtemp and made it hard for me to go right back it might be worth looking at DarkFlare if I was serious about tracking people down.

Thought I might go active today and see if you were on IRC. You weren't.

Anyway back to that youtube account. Name there is actually "marioandpeefan09"
From the about page there
"I am a computer geek and gamer. I enjoy watching the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You can email me at keltonkostis If you do, please specify that you are a YouTuber who has found my email address via this about page. I also have a forum at intelitech.forummotion.com. It's pretty empty, so please join it."

http://intelitech.forummotion.com/u1 then
Says date of birth is 2004-06-07 and a location of Mexico.

https://plus.google.com/107520844175867408509/about from the youtube page. Sadly Jane Huskmann's location is not real -- there is a phrase along the line of two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. You can be the most covert person out there but if you converse with someone that is not then they can give enough of the game away.

https://plus.google.com/107520844175867408509/posts has some youtube comments of yours, might be worth going though.

Also from youtube http://computerlandforums.createaforum.com/ and that in turn links to http://www.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=84221

Back on youtube time to look at the videos, I was all prepared to CSI gbatemp again and pull a reflected image but it appears you pointed the camera at yourself once here.
It does say you used an iphone for that so I would be on the lookout for pictures to feed into http://regex.info/exif.cgi to get some GPS co-ordinates. Most image hosts strip exif for just this reason but if you uploaded one to a forum or something that is decidedly less likely.

If I am suggested your videos for the next few days I am going to be upset. I will save the pop psychology though.

Doing a search for your gmail address

http://www.newswebreader.com/alt.destroy.microsoft/The-Metro-UI-Why-it-sucks/48

http://pastebin.com/qnacfeBn is probably the most interesting thus far. It mentions a possible alt of GamoTron21.

Though it did lead to http://pastebin.com/ALrPYWhw and http://pastebin.com/t6r2WFQY

The former is an IRC log and includes the join part of [email protected] though I am not sure how to set about decoding that at this point and my 10 second search did not get me much more. (assuming it is not an ascii decode to 107 115 which is an IP that geolocates to Tlalnepantla just north of Mexico city. One profile did say Mexico earlier. The content of it would match general content and word choices from earlier stuff. Even without that 187.210 seems to be largely Mexico based.

And before I finally tap it into pipl then http://www.mccormackfunerals.com/?q=Obituaries&action=obit_details&personid=494 came up when searching your email. It is in Canada but that is nothing terribly unusual for grandparents to be that far away. On the other hand I find someone named kelton2 in a moment in Canada (a 20 year old with a plenty of fish profile)

pipl then
https://pipl.com/search/?q=kelton2&l=&sloc=&in=5

Not an awful lot really, mostly blank ( http://kelton2.tumblr.com/ for example). If I was doing more long term stuff then maybe I would note it to watch it.

http://kelton2.deviantart.com/ says Mexico and links to http://mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.com/ which is broken but http://web.archive.org/web/20121115221416/http://mariorulesandmorestuff.webs.com/ has something.

Stuck gamotron21 into pipl and wound back up on jul
http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?pid=432698#432698

Sticking the gmail into pipl and https://www.facebook.com/people/_/100003673126622 was suggested as a possibility.

http://www.computerforum.com/members/116118-windude.html also came up tapping your email into duckduckgo.

Typing that email into skype gives a skype name of georgeandmarla (full name Marla), interestingly (or perhaps not) that funeral home page lists Marla Sue and George Kostis. Typing Marla Sue and George Kostis into a search gives http://mx.linkedin.com/pub/marla-kostis/18/705/23 which mentions retiring to Mexico (though far from that IP earlier) and being part of a care home in Ontario in the 1990's. Not the same home but less than 2km as the crow flies (if you are in the trade...).
Carrying on with that search
http://www.yolisto.com/page/index.html/_/articles/expat-profiles/expat-profiles-marla-george-r29 (decided to leave Canada after a fire in 2007).
I know I said I am terrible at matching people photos but that would be quite similar to that video, give or take a year or three's ageing. I guess we do have an example of the "two people can keep a secret if one is dead" thing from earlier after all.
http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p393273

I think I will leave it there.
 
Now , whilst I have no intend of being tracked down searched myself, I also know that there is one other person out there that shares the same nickname so anything someone would find could either be right or wrong. Just thought that that is rather interesting. (Also, searching google images for my own username only gave me stuff the other person made+some of my previous avatars.)
 
I was wondering why a post I made from January 2015 was being liked so much today. If it was a one-time thing, then someone is just reading older threads from a search, but 2 likes for the same post had me confused. Now I realized that the thread received a necropost.

Either way, my posts are still as awesome now as they were then. B-)
