Here's what Alfred (not me, just a copy-paste) posted on The Hub on 20141125:
Hello Everyone,
Welcome back to the Hub. After a devastating attack on the darknet and our community we are back. The Hub was always meant to serve as a back up to market sites going down in the event of a seizure or theft, etc. We never planned for an event on the scale of Operation Onymous. Few did, it seems.
We are back, and we are here to stay. We've started over with many new precautions so that should something like this happen again we can be back much faster than before.
Please take notice: The Hub will be changing URLs in the next day or two. The new URL will be: http://thehub7gqe43miyc.onion. So if the current URL stops working please try that one.
I hope you all have been well during this time and I hope that we can all continue to work together to rebuild our community and recover. As always, if there is anything I or the rest of the Hub's staff can do, please do not hesitate to ask.
Warmest Regards,
Alfred
I pray this isn't what several presumed it might be if it were ever re-incarnated. I really loved The Hub, quite an intelligent crew over there.
However, /user/DeepThroat_ had some very insightful knowledge about some key-players and their roles starting from SR1 all the way through Onymous...and it appeared to be credible insider knowledge from what I could tell, but who the hell am I anyway...
However, I believe he digitally vanished as he said he was going to do. I'll probably get down-voted like hell for even posting this...but those who followed his posts know what I speak of.
Label this under 'speculation' if need be
