Digging the flag feature

Kudos to Vax for the flags appearing next to members names and the guests as well...A great feature...Very interesting to see where all we Moonies come from.

Welcome.

FYI, there is a shoutcast server stats web page which shows the IPs of the connected streams and a flag is employed to denote the geographic location of the IP. Ever since I saw this, I've wanted to add a similar feature to the Who's Online. It's a great feature for several reasons:


To show the international nature of moon.
Help others recall where a moonie is geographically located.
Keep tabs on the guests who connect and who may be here for nefarious reasons.


Once I was able to get the Who's Online working properly again, I took to task to implement the flags.

I don't think I will change the flags but I would like to have the mouseover popup declare, with more detail than just the country name, where a moonie is located. The current IP->country database is free. The company that provided it has more detailed databases which cost money. One has state/region/province/shire/etc. and city.

So what would that added feature cost?

This is the ONLY flag I will NOT put up; especially, where it relates to these bastard script-kiddies.
