What the hell is actually going on?

I've been trying to follow everything going on, but it seems like everything is going to shit at once!

 

We've got TMG down, obvious exit scam. All jokes aside, if you were a TMG member and had set up an order with a vendor, you ought to try and find them on reddit or any markets they were known to vend on and send them ENCRYPTED transaction details and such to give them the ability to mark your order as paid and ship it out. If we can't get on TMG, neither can they to read the hoard of messages you would normally be sending them.

 

And then we have lelantos and sigaint in a load of shit. It's a shame that some of the most popular dark net email services aren't kept up to date. Is there even any news coming from their admins/mods?

 

What's this news on the hub being down as well? I wasn't ever around there, but I do know they were a large community. Any news on where they're going to regroup? I'd assume TMG maybe, but oh look they're down too.

 

GrowMore too wtf is with vendors not storing backups? You guys know you can encrypt those too right?

 

Then there's the exit scams. The_Psychedelic_Boutique on AB is just one that affected me recently. It seems vendors are easily able to inflate their reviews so that they can make themselves look like a trustworthy option. I've started to dig into analyzing feedback whenever I look at a vendor I have no history with, and I've started to see a lot of obvious feedback inflation.

We should be able to see how many reviews an account is responsible for per vendor in the feedback. Even a simple number next to the redacted username would help. It would also be helpful if we could see account age or at least a "new member" indicator until an account has purchased $50 or more from 3 different vendors. At least make it expensive for vendors to make a shitload of accounts to fake their feedback with.

 

As if that wasn't enough, there's border issues as well! Apparently its no longer safe to order from Canada into the US. Look at lots of the seizure reports coming up lately. Next thing we know ordering from the UK will be just as dangerous as the Netherlands.

 

Rant over, but damn what the hell is all this drama as of late? Services disappearing, vendors scamming or apparently making simple mistakes, I can't even keep up with it all. Cant wait for reddit to exit scam next.

Stuff like this has always happened, and will continue to happen. No need to get excited about it.
