I think silkroad should make another site a much more private site for all the higher up buyers and Vendors. Like a separate url were not everyone can just register with only a few clicks. A site were a far more sophisticated community of vendors and buyers can exchange with out any worries of LE trolling around looking for a bust! It seems highly possible. all vendors who have been here for a good while would be allowed also buyers im sure sr can do this and provide a more underground community such as ovdb: quantity wise and vendor wise but not in the sense of how public and hot that forum was. Any ways this is just what i think. What is everyone elses thoughts on this ?
-
How about just the higher ranked trustworthy vendors but still allow all buyers so noobs like me won't get scammed again? Just make sure the vendors are appointed by the admins and all that jazz

...its probably already in use..

I would hope i'd be invited as a vendor if there were such a place
-
It exist in many forms. Just have to look under the dark side of the moon
-
But then that would mean that the public SR would lose a lot of good vendors & buyers. Not good IMO.
-
This is a free market place. If too many scammers appear, people will buy only from one source. If that source starts charging too much or delivering shit product, you can always see a lucrative opportunity and create some competition.
Would be nice to have a better way to verify if seller did send the package and buyer indeed received the contents.

Im sure many exist as a matter a fact i know of 2 that dont just allow anyone to join which i find pretty great but i guess those are for the cool kids. I am just putting it out there what if anything ever happens to the public SR similar to what happened to ovdb ? If so we would have a sr for the longterm members. and vendors could still vend in the public forum just have another one for the more serious buyers/vendors who wish to trade with ease

What was ovdb and what happened to it anyway?

silkroad has been getting so much publicity i doubt this would matter new vendors would appear in no time
-
there should be at least 2 or 3 backup servers in case the main server is found or compromised.

Open Vendor Database
Basically a forum that had trust rankings gleaned from the usual private source forums that around. The admin just lost interest and shut it down, was too much maintenance
-
Sites like this already exist, no need to re-create them. SR is public and should remain that way.

Thats what everyone says. I find my self on some of those and you can never have to many silkroads
