There are multiple ways to acquire someone his / her IP. Skype has been one of them. I could host a transparent 1x1 pixel on a server of mine, and send you a forum PM. And I can basically see everyone who loaded that image, including their IP. And there are many other 'tricks' to get it.

Fact is; it has happened and it's still happening.

Also it's cheaper and much easier to obtain the 'means' to do it. It doesn't take a skilled hacker to do it.
Nope... its stupid easy... just need zombie computers and a program to tell all the slaves to ping a particular address at once.... tada.
