The site is down or unable to connect a fair amount.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could go check site status somewhere w/o having to wonder if its on our end.
Surely someone smart enough to write SR can write an "on err go" page with a time it went down and ti8me its expected back up.
After all, Silk road owners are making a pretty penny. its not like they're doing this for free.
Keep us, the vendors and buyers, INFORMED!!

good ideal.. it would be a pretty simple thing to impliment too, they would have to use different server obviously..
best thing is to put it in here, the forums, this is allways up when sr goes down, little red or green light in the corner to show server status

Yep. Someone from admin should ALWAYS be posting when there is an outage. This is a business afterall and not some stupid nudy site.

It's trivial to set up a status.net vps over Tor and use it to post to twitter completely anonymously. Or just make threads here whenever something goes wrong

You mean like silkroadmarket.org?

pretty sure they don't use that page anymore. I think the post on there is months old judging by the bitcointalk thread number

If its so trivial, why doesnt someone DO IT? For Christ sakes, like I said, its a business.
Does Amazon just go down for a day and not tell their customers or vendors?
I write software for a living. Outages like this without communications are inexcusable. Add to that the recent HUGE scams perpetrated by well known, established vendors, and I think we've found why LE's in no hurry to do anything about SR. they figure its already on life support.

That actually explains nothing. That site is just a decoy to throw the not-quite-smart-enough to connect to SR folk off the trail, it seems. Either that or a really old and outdated dummy page with no use whatsoever. It says the exact same thing even if the servers are 100%. Since the title of the page is "This is not the Silk Road, but you are close...," I'm guessing it is left up as a breadcrumb trail of sorts or a clever way to confuse reporters looking for a story.
