Hmmmm, I wonder if maybe PBW should be blocking Users loging in from Greek ISP's or something. We don't want to set off an international incident or anything.

So, we should get someone to translate into Greek for us:

Error 491 - This server offers entertainment content, and it appears you are attempting to connect to it from Greece. The Greek government has accidentally outlawed all electronic entertainment. Please depose and humiliate your government and repeal these laws before attempting to reconnect to this server. If you are not actually connecting from Greece, or you have deposed your government and repealed your imbecilic anti-entertainment laws, please press the OMG WTF button to continue.
