with the amazing growth of SR,
4 months ago only the most i seen online was 45 and now most ever seen being 123 that is a signifcant amount of people even visiting the forums, is SR getting to big? will this be a downfall to us or will this help? will SR be able to staff enough trustworthy, and i mean TRUSTWORTHY enough people to be able to run this site,
I want SR to be around for as long as it can be or if it were to go down some other site to sprout up as soon as possible but is this growth to much to handle, what is SR doing to make sure that we are all safe??
tell us what you need from us SR!!! I and I am sure the community is willing to give you whatever necessary to keep the longevity of this site, we are in your debt and those who dont feel that way should GTFO

I wouldn't worry yourself with the growing pains of SR. More customers = More fucking money. I have full faith in the SR team.

its hard not to worry, I can only imagine the troubles that some of the sellers here go through, and if one is selling care free should really reconsider how your going about business
Although SR is fairly new online vending is not if people have already forgotten a recent big time vendor on another vending site not even fractionally as popular as SR is now serving a 20+ year federal jail sentence. that is no joke or game 20 years in federal prison means your serving 10-15 with good behavior and your gonna need a Damn good lawyer to even bring down the sentence a couple years
Even though it means there is more money for SR it still doesnt negate the fact that good help is hard to find and with the growing community there will definitely need to be additions to the team or the current team will be overworked, Adding people to the circle of trust tends to lead to complications if everyone doesnt have the mindset. Nor does it mean that SR is using the funds to add to the security of the site which is why I am wondering how we know we are safe, just because we use tor and bitcoins that shouldnt automatically give everyone the A-OK to go ahead and be worry free everyone should be on their toes and expect the worst, I honestly do not trust a thing and am looking to be as cautious as humanly possible
Sellers on SR should be ABSOLUTELY cautious on how they go about business and should, for their safety, be constantly moving. since online vending is fairly new for the court system the sentences are going to be Huge to deter others to do it in the future
just remember that we are online and unlike the streets Everything is recorded or saved somewhere, granted things can be encrypted but with a warrant that encryption means nothing and one is required by law to give up everything
As much as i have faith in them I do not trust anything and will not be surprised if SR were gone tomorrow its better to be safe and prepared than it is to be sorry especially since what we do here is absolutely and completely illegal in every aspect of those words, both buyers and sellers although the sellers are the ones that would be more at risk,

I fully agree. Sorry I don't have anything to add. You covered all the bases.

No need to say sorry, I just hope that all vendors are safe and taking precautions as well as SR being able to handle the volume here
I guess that SR getting big could go either way perhaps if the amount were to be in the millions that it could just be to much to put to end or who knows more of a reason for feds to stop it, I just would like to see SR around for years to come and would happily donate or whatever SR really needs to keep this place going and I am sure that many kind and generous people out there would happily do the same,
I hope we are all safe but everyone should presume that it isnt!! take precautions and always stay safe
