Yeah, I believe he blocked Egypt for political reasons. Sorry to see that, must be a drag Sad
Well obviously you can get onto SF now, so why complain about that site on this forum raising spam when you can use this forum instead?
No need to talk about HF on this forum.

They are completely different , you could have just pm'd Omni.
i pm'd but he didn't answer i don't know why he blocked it

Webmasters block third world countries all the time as it's common for places like Egypt, Pakistan, and especially India to be culprits of spamming.
Makes sense, good post ace, egypt and india is the worst. freakin spammers.
From my StopForumSpam MyBB plugin, the only IP's that I often see listed in the spammer database are IP ranges from India, but I do know from past experience that Pakistan is in that category as well. Nothing racial, that's just the way it is. They seem to have their own methods of advertising and spam.

Some people just ban the full range or block them from the website completely so that they don't have to deal with it. You will never get as many users from a place like Pakistan in comparison to larger countries like UK, CAN, US, which is why some people don't see it as a disadvantage to block their activity. It's usually a very small reduction in the activity.
I don't wanna know how many countries are blocked... 0,o
