I wanted to update my coupon packs and saw they'd been in vacation mode for a month--here is what I found on the vendor review page on Silk Road. BOO-URNS! Here's hoping somebody steps up soon.

"I guess no one reads this forum anymore. You are correct, the private forum is down.
I have 40 messages on SR and one on here and that one is from someone I contacted first...
Soooo, anyways, I don't plan on logging in to SilkRoad anymore so I'm sorry to everyone who messages me but I am going to be out of commission indefinitely.
All orders I had were filled previously or canceled since making this decision. I feel obligated to address some things so I will likely continue to deal with those 40 messages and at least alert customers to the situation with me and ultimately my plan is to go into an indefinite vacation. Everyone should have updates for quite some time left, so I hope I can do this while not leaving anyone feeling screwed over... that is far from my intent, but at this time I have more important personal matters to tend to and when pressed with choosing my personal well being against continuing this project, it was a tough decision but one I had to make.
Until next time, Lotus
***I will answer PMs up until Wednesday evening, I might not get to them right away but any messages left before that time will get a reply by that cutoff. I do feel obligated to explain myself, and I also need to straighten some things out with people who had remaining credits to the generator. I will refund any unused credits for now. I won't refund any purchases of collections, except maybe I will supply a temporary link to people with a legit claim that they did not have reasonable time to download them. I do want everyone to be satisfied whether I am here or not. You paid me, and I'll do my best to leave everything right."

"For those of you patiently waiting a response from me, thansk for your patience... I will respond.
By now most people have heard the news that I am moving on, but I'm still trying to work out a deal to have someone take over in my absence. I never wanted to ditch everyone empty handed, even though everyone is more than satisfied with their choice to have done business with me, I'm still pushing to hand this operation over to a responsible party who I feel can keep the boat afloat.
Lifetime membership was designed to last the span of my lifetime here on the darknet. Now that my lifetime is coming to a permanent ending here... what will happen to the lifetime members when a new vendor takes over?
My experience is that the lifetime members are way to valuable to the community to cease their special privledges, and so I'm not willing to part with anything unless it's established in the agreement to continue keeping at the least my promise made to those few people who purchased the lifetime membership.
If anyone would like to submit an offer to me to be considered, then feel free... but for right now I'm only seriously considering people who I have a long and trusting relationship with. I do not want to disappoint our community by just taking the highest bidder, I want the best vendor for the job.
Much love to you all, it's been one hell of a fucking ride!
Time of my life here with all of you, Lotus"

"I am very sorry to say that as of right now ALL links are down and I have created temporary links for the moment until I address all of my PMs and ultimately bow out with one last speech.
It is unknown if the new management will stick with the PurpleLotus name or not. I'm willing to hand it all over as part of the deal.
I want to be clear... although I am keeping my reasons to myself, I am also very reserved as to who will recieve these temporary links, but I refuse to deny access to people who ordered within the last week and have a legit case where they did not get to download the coupons at all. If you already have enjoyed months of these coupons, then don't ask me for any updates. I need this to be done with sooner than later.
Much of my attenion is focused on closing out my personal business on my accounts, and more importantly working with the upcoming new leader(s) to make for a smooth transition. Once this is complete then details will be released concerning how everything will be done moving forward.
I'm hoping everyone can appreciate everything we have accomplished so far and continue to do business with whoever brings the operation back up. If you have enjoyed success far beyond the investment you made and had a blst doing it with us, then I'd appreciate everyone continuing to show me respect and not be too hard on me. this decision has been hard enough. I don't have to spend my time making this right and keeping things moving forward for everyone in the future... I'm doing it because I care, I'm making absolutely no bitcoin income at this point, and I'm still here putting in work.
Thanks, Lotus"
Yea he retired or some shit. I read the forums.
