DonM, you seem to be right; I’ve just managed to open it with my phone (with Wi-Fi turned off), so not the whole Russia is blocked. Nevertheless this ban I’ve been witnessing for a few years at least. Seems to be overprotective.

Still, it doesn’t look like new members are very welcome there, it’s been 4 months since I got their letter saying “Before you can login and start using the forum, your request will be reviewed and approved. When this happens, you will receive another email from this address.”, so far no another email has been received.

Well, I’m comfortable here
