 * Hi,
 * Love love love this plugin.. is there any chance the Geolocation page will support
   version 6 IP addresses in the near future? Currently defaults to our geographical
   location for all IPv6 addresses.
 * Best Wishes

 * Az,
 * MaxMind, the third-party tool we use to offer this functionality, supports IPv6,
   but the requirements for that version are much more stringent. It would force
   us to require our users to adopt PHP 5.6 and other libraries that they might 
   not have. At this time we prefer to leave Slimstat available to all, with the
   compromise of not offering IPv6 support for the geolocation component.
 * Best,
    Jason
