I've been a member of the SR community for about 3 months now and only lurking around on the message board.. I have around 10 successful buying transactions (+$2000)
Anyway I just thought I'd say to the Mods that they did a fabulous job keeping us all updated on the status of the Road.. Downtime happens on every single site on the Web, and USUALLY you never hear anything about what the problem is.
IMHO I don't think the Mods could have done a better job if they hired a professional to speak on their behalf... HUGE thumbs up fellas!

Ya reckon? I beg to differ, because if they had there wouldn't have been this panic that rippled through the community the way it did!

You'd feel completely different if you were a vendor.

yesterday a mod said there was nothing to worry about....it was idiots in here that filled others heads with bullshit that caused the mods words to be unnoticed. Ill trust a mod over someone who has no clue anyday.
-
I really doubt any of the moderators or even DPR would of been able to calm down the community and keep away the panic with all the conspiracy nuts on these forums. Those threads had me laughing for quite awhile.

I was just going to write something very similar.. Every time a Mod started a topic it was over shadowed by people to signed up to the fourm today. The Mods did all the could, and a very good job to say the least.

Imagine you were in a war and your communications system went down. Are you going to go to the national newspaper and tell them that ... and exactly how and when you plan on fixing it? You're enemy would love you that's for sure.
SR has enemies from every single law enforcement agency that know's of it's existence. Do you really think it would have been wise for them to inform not only it's members, but the thousands of LE professional IT personnel monitoring the site and trying to take it down/damage it/gather information ?
I really don't understand the ppl freaking out about why they weren't informed earlier and weren't told exactly what took the server down and how it's being repaired. LE IT personnel would have loved to have any of that information, it would be us basically giving our enemy valuable intelligence ABOUT US.
Some of the member's need to reduce their stim usage methinks.

Again, see comment stating you wouldn't be saying that if you were a vendor, and although I'm not, I have close to $2K sitting there, orders to make on behalf of others, and all we got until inigo's post was... NIL, NIDDAH, NOTHING and just saying "It's okay" without going into details is sufficient wouldn't you agree?

As one of the few people who has been on SR since before the first gawker-boom(which the servers handled quite well, by the way), I can comfortably say that anyone who thinks this situation was handled badly is a bit of an idiot. The problem is the mass-panic that turned most folks, like JezuzWazaMushroom, into scared rats looking for any exit they could find.

This isnt fucking amazon..... learn to appreciate the amazing illegal service that is offered here. its a privilege to be here, not a right! fuck all you haters

Well, you shit cunts evidently have never been robbed or fucked over before, I hope you know I'm not saying they were completely terrible but if I were a vendor, and something happened with my mant thousands of dollars without an explanation, I would be pissed.

SR has been alive for more than 18 months. Don't freak out just because it goes down. The only time it is okay to freak out is when no one knows anything about what is wrong and only after three days of it being down. That is when you should get worried. When the staff as chiming in to say things are fine and it'll be back up, that is when you sit down and wait patiently for at least a week before you begin to suspect foul play.

I am a vendor ...
I wouldn't be if they flapped their lips and told us stuff though because SR may not even exist anymore if they were to be so wreckless as to let our enemy (LE) know anything. Information is power in war, esp. a virtual war (internet).
Luckily those that maintain this site know how to do so safely and appropriately

Like I said, all they had to do, which they did through inigo, was tell us "it's all okay" and that should be sufficient. IF they said ARF ARF GOTCHA, then people would have the right to go AWOL in the head. I stood to lose 2K of a mates coin but even then I was cautiously optimistic having been a member for some time, about waiting for something official, but one cannot help but be a bit concerned after 24hrs and nothing and crazy cunts saying shit like DPR's been arrested blah blah blah. I'd say the Admin guys were trying to fix it and when they couldn't they then posted everything was cool and DPR would fix shit when he gets back from his well deserved break. Banks go down for maintenance, shit, even motherfucking YouTube does and they say the same thing the SR site says now, closed for maintenance. What more do people want? I've been battling iHateNiggers about this issue and he seems like the most unnappreciative queer cunt in the world and I would hate to have to be related to him in real life, I's disown him!

If you were a vendor, I would expect that you'd plan for these minor problems and it wouldn't be that big of a deal. A few days of lost business but, any businessman should be able to handle a few days without ending up in a panic. If, as a vendor, you can't handle this, then you probably should find another line of work.

Christ. You give me a hard time when I first come on the scene for being the second coming of duderugs and here you are 4-5 months later dishing out your same bullshit to the mods. Shut the fuck up and chill already.
Bull shit... the mods here suck big hairy balls... rxking censors the members on this forum, I think DPR need to work with people who are drug free.. or at least not on any hard drugs...
If I was running this site there would be no way in hell I would make limitless a mod... all that guys talks about is getting high and his mental issues... this kind of employee would be fired at any normal job... but here its ok to be all coked out...
ALL I DO IS SMOKE WEED. cant DPR find some people like me who have a straight head on their shoulders?!?!?!?
this is bullshit now.. its monday almost everywhere on the planet and still no SR...
do you really think the mods do a good job here??? besides taking down span what do they really do??? answer questions that we can all answer, make fake announcements that rthe site will be up BY monday??
this sucks... DPR need to go back to when he can handle this no worries... not to the point when we spend more time offline then online in the last 2 weeks..
GET THIS SHIT UP AND RUNNING GOD DAMMIT!!!
Hey john! Good to be back?
You really should've picked a less conspicuous name. But then again, you were never really conspicuous, were you..

Well one reputable vendor alone that I was PMing said that they had 1200 BTC's in there and they had just started. When you're running a business like that one day could have you with 20k alone's worth. How would one prepare for an unexpected loss that large, and further elaborating on the situation what if your business was a situation where you were getting your product on credit and your supplier whom ever that might be.

EXCUSE ME, Listen here old toker... you cant plan on when the site goes down.. if we as vendors had some advance notice it would be a different story.. I wonder how many vendors came online friday night to do a weekly cash out and could not.... That fucks shit up for the vendor, for who ever the vendor buys from,. and so on all the way up the line...
some people have over 100k in here, imagine you had 100K in your bank and you went to go take some cash out for your weekend and the bank told you nothing, you bank card wont work, nobody is at the bank to help you and the 1-800 number is not working....... WOULD YOU BE PISSED?
.
I assume you would be pissed and want some answers... not some watered down bullshit that DPR and his little bitches are spewing!!!

You know john, you're easily identifiable even without the name. Your posting patterns, your flamboyant attitude. You'd have to change your whole personality if you really wanna be on these forums. Either that or continue to be banned.
I like this new plan.
