vb.org Archive - View Single Post - GeoIP GeoLite from MaxMind

We use the GeoIP database from MaxMind for many things:

OpenX Ad server geotargeting
Custom (Home grown) GeoIP plugin to show cities and countries under IP address in Who's Online (online.php) to admins and mods
Custom (Home grown) GeoIP plugin to show cities and countries in welcome message to all members in Navbar
Custom (Home grown) GeoIP with Bayesian classifier plugin used for spam classification and moderation.
Custom logging (with added GeoIP info in log files)
More, can't remember.

Should be a standard part of vB the same as it is with OpenX ad server. You can do a lot with geo information.

Other vB mods that use other methods are not very scaleable (or accurate) compared to using the binary database (free) from MaxMind.
