There was a old forum here http://ianxz6zefk72ulzz.onion/index.php/forums/ before build this new url.

What happened with the contents?

That's the first forum that SR used back in the early days of SR (pre-Gawker article).

There isn't much there because it was shutdown in June last year, there wasn't as much traffic as there is now. I think it was shutdown because SMF has better forum software than what SR ran those forums with. Also it was on the same server as the market so if the market was down so would the forums. It was especially confusing and scary at the time because that's around when gawker published their article and Sen. Chuck Schumer started talking about us. So every time SR was down people wouldn't know if it's because of the traffic gawker generated, maintenance or an LE bust.
