Thanks Hostboard, I will experiment with that once I go live with the forum. I am on a linux server. How often would it be suggested to update that list?

Question, it looks like the list is a list of ip addresses within each country to block.

Is there a way to block the entire country? Or is there a way to only allow USA visitors in the htaccess file?

FYI, theWordPress plugin "IQ-Block-Country" uses a GeoIP.dat file. I am wondering if that is a list of IP addresses like in your file, but I was unable to open it with MS Office, Visual Studio, DreamWeaver and other programs. Do you know of any free programs to view a .dat file with? (I was unable to upload it with this post).

Thanks again so much!
