Seems to me that everyone is now in a panic. All of our vendors are on agora right? We dont use any other markets except agora right? What ever will we do without Agora!
Well my friends, this is what happens when one group has a monopoly over a market...Microsoft...AT&T...Time Warner and Comcast...I'm sure we could make lists for hours...But in this situation, our lovely markets can disappear at the drop of a hat, or with a nice notice and fair warning....unfortunately the latter is rare as hell.
BUT there is something we can do besides post 100s of posts about the downtime, or ask where can we go or what we should do about ordering in the future. A service called grams offers searching for vendors...both by name and by product, on all markets pretty much. So when you want to find out where else your favorite vendor is...GO SEARCH GRAMS RATHER THEN ASKING ON THIS SUB. THATS WHAT THE SERVICE WAS CREATED FOR.
/u/gramsadmin - thanks bro. I used your service today, and have used it in the past to find pgp keys, listings, and which market to use when Agora was down, as well as other markets. It's a godsend. I just wish that others were aware of this so I could read the front page of the sub without barfing.
I know about grams.
I was searching specifically for contact info for direct deals that might have only been on a vendor's agora profile or wasn't in the PGP key email field. Grams is not useful for that.
I don't understand why people argue for less information. It's just dumb, this subreddit is not nearly active enough to where too many threads that make it past automod/get approved should be removed.
