Oops, sorry Russia

A couple of months ago I put a ban on new registrations from .ru email addresses. This was due to a high amount of spam coming from .ru. Seems I accidentally banned all .ru accounts though and did not realize it. I was not trying to start a new cold war here...just a dumb mistake. I've removed all bans for now so everyone should be able to log in.

There was a period this summer where we were getting hundreds of fake registrations every day but I changed the registration criteria so hopefully there will not be any further problems.

I wonder if that caused problems for other people.

I hope it doesn't influence the voting for the build contest.

Thank you, Brian for your awesome projects and promt international shipping.
And all of you guys for your knowledge sharing. I like reading this forum, especially build reports. That's very inspiring.
