All kidding aside, both openiv.com and dev-c.com have domains that expire in a few months. I find this kind of strange, that neither one is renewed longer than that. Again, I'm just curious because it is kinda odd that both these essential sites went down exactly the same day and are both still down.
OpenIV is definitely in Russia. All indications are that it is hosted there. Not clear for SH. Servers seem to be in Florida but could be just a privacy type of service. Other Russian modding sites are up and operating so the probability of government ban seems small.
If it is war related, infrastructure related, the links between the hosts for both sites is definitely not obvious.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out since neither is open source and the learning curve would be pretty steep I'm guessing for both to be replaced, not to mention the time required...all without pay.
Obviously files will be exchanged but it will be a nightmare for noobs to figure it out, particularly after the next update if SH5 is not available.
Anyway, I'm still thinking this is just a hiccup, that it's temporary, and that both sites will be back up and running by the end of the week or early next week.
