Yes, it is possible, highly unethical, but possible.
Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
hi shaggy and thanx for the help.. can you explain a bit better so i can make a formal request with motivation ? i'm not a freshman in computer science so if you want use technical language.. thanx..
Simplest way is just to open up the database and acn through the records (don't know how easy that is with a MySQL db, though).
Another way would be to construct a simple SQL statement to pull all PMs sent and/or received by a particualr user from the database and display them on-screen.
Bear in mind though, that the webmaster in question may have had reasonable grounds to view your messages if he suspected you of abusing the system - in most countries, webmasters are liable for everything posted to their site - or if he received a complaint from another member.

The administrator can read anything and everything in the database (as long as they have access to it).
They just need to use something like PHPMyAdmin (or something similar) to browse the tables.
