Lets settle this FUD about "under new management defacement", I brought evidence. Please bring your own to refute if desired.

Although my first order of business should be slicing off this Pandora tag, I'll put that off for now.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. What is this? From the FUD to FUD telephone game, this short phrase has been warped. No, Alphabay was never defaced with the words "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT." Where does this come from? I'll let our dear Cannajuice answer for me.

This was Thursday around 12noon EST.

OH YEA, this was the same time the forums had a "under new management" post stickied to the top of the sub. See our original comment https://www.reddit.com/r/AlphaBay/comments/3aaoig/under_new_management_and_site_is_not_resolvng/

Forums is the key word. A sticked post requires a FORUMS moderator account to make, this would imply at the extent of the damage is that a forums moderator had been phished and lost control of his forums account for a period of time before alerting the other moderators to suspend it.

Alpha02 will confirm or deny and I will report the answer.

...A completely white page with a single sentence in the upper left corner that said

"Flood is coming, maybe you can try again.....?" or "Flood is coming, maybe try again later......?"

What does "Flood is coming, maybe try again later...."" mean?

Congrats, you found another error page! I will investigate as to why an error page referencing a flood appeared. I'm going to take a wild guess right now and say its the preferred error page for when the server is experiencing a heavy load, such as when under DDOS attack.

I'll be making more threads and posts to deal with each individual piece of FUD to rest easy every mind that entertained the idea of truthfulness about them.

That was most likely a typo - why else would he say 'Agora' but link to an AB-thread? I don't quite get it.

If you're listening, or rather reading, please bring me other pieces of FUD to refute if you would be so kind.

I have no idea what you are saying. "Under new management" was on which forum/market? And why?
