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.

All election jokes aside, it's good to have our friends from Russia back on the forum.
