A few things

1) I presume you mean OWC when you talk about 'their (sic) fan site'. This is only one of dozens of sites and is owned and run by a private individual, so he can let in (or not) whoever he wants. The official IFA site http://www.irishfa.com/ is available to all.

2) OWC is not blocked all the time. It has a system where it allows people on depending on how busy the server is. If it's not busy then anybody can view, if it's a bit busier then only members can view and if it's very busy then only patrons (who've paid a fiver towards the running of the site) can view. The server has been upgraded several times in the last few years but still can't cope with the demand (over 6000 members and nearly half a million posts) so this system was introduced.

3) We already have supporters from all over the province and beyond. OWC is only a small percentage of the fan base.

Wrist slap for Jeffries.

As suspected the storm in the teacup

The IFA's Disciplinary Committee has ruled that there was "no basis of fact" in the allegations.

If I remember rightly, a bit of a ironic jibe  'Yer only a bunch of Fenians' directed at Linfield FC was turned into a sectarian taunt by Jeffries.
The whole incident goes beyond surreal,  would only makes sense in a place like Craggy Island.

You can if the sites quiet. Why should the people that are paying for the bandwidth be slowed down by a lurkers who aren't?

Is that how it works? I can't ever get in. Not that I object, you're quite entitled to ration the bandwidth to those who actually stump up their fiver.
