I find roughly 20 times more visitors from the US than from the Philippines (37.8% vs 2.0% of traffic). The ratio of population Philippines/US ~ 3.3 so I conclude that PF is about 5.7 times more popular in the USA.

What is your data ?

After clicking on a thread, look sort of near the top of the page, just above the first thread on that page, and you'll find a "Thread Tools" Menu. Click on that and select "Subscribe to this Thread." You'll have a choice of a few options (how you wish to be notified, which one of your folders you want to put the subscription in, etc.). Then click the "Add Subscription" button.
