I'm not saying that you shouldn't exclude people for performance reasons. You should do whatever you need to keep your service up and running. I'm saying you shouldn't exclude by geographic location.

I'd rather see a "Whoops capacity for the party is 500 and we're full so you cant get in" instead of "Whoops we have a capacity of 500 and even though we only have 50 people in the party right now you can't go in because you're not from the US".

Anyways, I just signed up and I've got to say I really REALLY like this. I'll try it out for a week before deciding if I'm using it instead of Google, but from what I've seen it looks really good (and I think I will end up using it instead). I do have two things to complain about though, when registering a popup came but telling me it couldn't find my user, though it worked fine after that (perhaps its a known bug), and the 'profile' page would benefit from being either centered or fluid. Great job though!
