thx for this...
i never felt the need to register in the past (cos i never felt the need to post)

but recently i had to address the issue to access another similar forum here.

I found that for me not just any proxy works.. I had to use a US one (i used texas proxy) in order for the registration thing to pop up the first time and have no problems with login anymore.

I sincerely hopes SE disables this proxy region restriction thing because its onerous of them to believe that only people living in Japan, EU and North America play their game.

btw, also from SG.
