What I say is that I suspect that the Antarctica flag does not come from Antarctica

You are right. I also wanted to add another brick in this conversation: Antarctica is not a country, so that a flag of Antarctica is somehow similiar to "satellite provider" or "unknown".

I got the flag of Antarctica in my collection but, frankly speaking, I do not feel particularly proud of it.

The most southern town in the planet, inside an independent State and with regular people who live, work, go to school, look at the television, quarrel, make love and make children is Ushuaia and the Country is Argentina.

What do you mean by acquiring Antarctica flag and not feeling proud of it? I'd really want one, so do you have any idea how to get it?

Nah, bullshit. That SOCKS proxy leaves a US flag. Believe me, I've tried in in the past.

OK, but then how did YOU get flags from Antarctica if you can't get it from there?

Great discussion.

If you got it by cheating (which I suspect after having read it from Jens that you can't get it from Antarctica) I'm not interested, but if it's not a cheat, it can't be a secret if at least the three of you know about it. So if it's a "secret" there must have been some "suspicious" way that you got it. Perhaps that's why you don't want to talk about it, right?

Hypothetically, let's say one of us knows someone who's working on McMurdo station. Hypothetically.

Anyway, obtaining a flag by changing proxys (or something like that) is not only cheating but it rises the question of a possible deletion of the specific flags from the FlagCounter list.
What's your opinion?

What do you mean by this? Like, deleting all countries that are available to get through proxies from a country list? That's ridiculous. There'd be 5 countries left.

Well, I know what you mean. These flags aren't real flags, they are fake. But I am absolulety convinced that most people do not use a proxy server. 99% of the Internet users use their normal IP, so the most results on our Flagcounters are real. I believe many users (80%) do not even know how to change their IPs and use a proxy server  The 1% who are not norma,l but proxy visitors, well, this is sad, but we can live with this, I hope =)
