Currently hovering around 96k members worldwide, BlackBank Marketplace has become my new favorite MP since the Evo heist. I still use Ag, as i have since before Evo even existed. I also use Nucleus, but only since Evo. I made my BB account as soon as i got robbed on Evo. Their admin team seems great. I read their mandate, and i would recommend giving it a read for any of you who still have the SR1 passion that Ross and others tried to spread in the early days. Their mandate is the only socio/political opinion from the admins that I've seen. Ive been on the forums as well, but much prefer the Agora forums still.
I am curious if BB will hit 100k members soon. I wish them and their team the utmost luck because i haven't seen admins interact on a social level with members(for the post part) since the days of SR1. I loved actually reading what Ross and all his admins and mods thought regarding current events and whatnot. Agora, Evo and most other MP's have really distanced themselves from interacting with their community. Maybe this is due to potential breaches within the ranks. Or language/trust/monetary barriers that prevent the higher ups from encouraging safe-use, ethical dealings(not scamming/cutting product). And believe it or not, based on what i remember from forums etc, I think that wise words from the people running the show actually was beneficial, people listened to the higher-ups and they led by example. Every successful organization needs to teach the younger generation the way its done and the ETHICAL way at that, if it intends to survive.
Id love to see an MP/forum run for a decade+. And new users who will feel safe ordering from vendors who have been around for years! From admins who run a site that is dependable and quick and safe and has been that way for years! imagine that...an MP that lasts longer than 2 years...
Maybe BB will be that MP...

BlackBank has 100,000 regular users, just like this subreddit has "51,700 subscribers".
A majority are probably one-time throwaways by people who just made an empty account to check the place out.
