What I need is a way to basicly show the IP geo location and the ISP. I could grab the data from that site but I am sure there is a less server killing way of doing it.

Any help would be great ;)

As far as I'm aware I.P. tracking on user locations is not always very accurate?

It doesnt need to be, just country. If its off then no harms done, just for a moderation function.

Not sure, but if the user is on AOL all AOL's IP's are in the USA meaning any user on AOL will always come up as in the USA

It doesnt track your home location, it tracks the datacenter where the IP is linked to the servers.
Thats why you appear to live beside a mountain, because the datacenter is beside the mountain.
