Hey Webby!

I've heard tell that hit statistics are available to webmasters/server hosts and that amongst those statistics, you get the geographic location of whose accessing the site.
My question is this: would it be possible to post information on where the SB board users come from? Something that would show state/province/country for example assuming that 35? hits/week is an average for one person.

This would definitely be anonymous so no-one would have to reveal their home city/state but it would enable us to see how many out of US people participate in the boards. Like, are their any Aussie's posting. Any others in Belgium other than PhoenixMons. And so forth...

Just wondering

He'd tell you, but then he'd have to kill you.

Sorry, but any such information is confidental. Plus many of those things are significantly inaccurate -- for example, many of the geo stat analysis tools incorrectly show every AOL user (even the ones in Europe) as residing in Virginia.

We don't track board traffic any differently than any other web traffic, so this isn't possible. I will say that 95%+ of our visitors are from the US or Canada, but that's it.
