  • Just to be clear:

    My blocking a country isn't to be taken as "that whole country can go to hell", "if the country were utterly obliterated I wouldn't care", or "I hate that whole nation and its people".

    It just means that from what I've seen, there is no reasonable prospect for getting legit users for CathInfo from that country. That's all.

    Just for starters, many nations don't speak English. CathInfo is pretty much English-only.

    So although I've met some good Vietnamese Trad Catholics (for example), they were younger and knew English just as well. And they were from California or other states in the USA, not living in Vietnam itself. But I bet even the families of these Trads, the ones still living in Vietnam that is, don't speak English if they're still living in their mother country. And you can bet they don't visit CathInfo.

    Remember, I'm not blocking California or New York (or England, or the Philippines, or dozens of other countries). There is plenty of diversity on CathInfo. Those who move to this country and speak English can all access the site with no problem.

  • Your IP was coming up as Jamaica, mon!

    Since Jamaica and the Bahamas are both right off the coast of the United States (in the Caribbean), I decided to unblock both countries. Infrastructure wise, it's probably easy for those countries to be mixed in with United States. They probably share the same Internet trunk lines and so forth.
