There is a rumor about possible problems for websites running on russian hostings in the next days if reached from outside Russia.

Whatever will happen and how it will be technically accomplished, it means that various forums and websites dedicated to file formats research, gaming internals, and compression/encryption algorithms may be unavailable or difficult to reach for an unknown long amount of time.

Just to cite a few I may think to the communities of rin.ru, encode.su, progamercity, gildor and many others (note: I didn't check if they have dns, hosting or none of them in Russia).
ZenHAX is on a russian hosting so it "may" be affected too.

My suggestion for the users who have posted their own quickbms scripts and tools on zenhax and the other forums is to make a backup as soon as possible and upload them on:
- github, perfect for the scripts
- googledrive/mega, for closed source tools without expiration limits of the hosted files

Obviously I have backups that I can restore anywhere in case the rumor and the "disconnection" would be real, but not sure if I will do anything.
