Sorry if I am not supposed to make the whole thread about it.

So, the moment I try to visit rpg.net, I get, uh, this (http://gyazo.com/b71dcda31abac72e40551530a362d6e7) I have no idea what I have been banned for and googling "RBN" grants no salvagable results.

Russian Business Network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Business_Network) - they host sites / are service provides to spammers, phishers, malware distributors and even less savoury activities.

Not sure why you're coming up as using them (well I hope you're not), but it could be that RBN proxied through your address at one point and got it blocked - it seems to be a reasonably common thing for Russian users (I googled "blocked RBN").

Is there anything I can do about my ban? Though I don't believe asking administator of the resource will do any good.
Oh, and I can't ask him, because I'm banned.

I have no idea - try contacting the administration, mention the RBN ban and supply who your actual ISP is would be a good start.

Well I just tried going there, and got the same "blocked" response with all my connection vitals and I'm in New Zealand.
I know I'm not a spammer, phisher or malware distributer (unless I've somehow become an internet scumbag/w&^ker while I slept and didn't notice) so yeah... It seems to be very touchy, and not just for the Ruski's.
Not really worried as I've never been to that site before, but thought I'd point out, it doesn't seem to just be a Russian problem.
