Publicity is what did them in. Should have kept the sheep out and started limiting registration about 4-6 months ago.

Either way this is nothing more than a hiccup, and all of the big buyers are in contact with their vendors through PGP and email, still doing business, for the time being. BMR will bring a lot of vendors and I am sure something new will pop up soon enough. There is a huge market out there for it and you better believe there are a handful of people fighting to take DPR spot as the internet drug king.

BMR just bit the dust too, at least for the time being, someone stole & leaked the source code.

BMR went back up after about a day. The new SR is also up and running, it goes 100% online tomorrow.

This just goes to show that you can't shut down websites. If you do, then two more pop up in it's vacancy.

I don't think it has anything to do with SR2, BC's have been climbing steadily for weeks now, and a huge chunk, probably the majority, of business from the original SR went over to BMR and SMP within a few days of SR going down.

Personally, I'd be very skeptical of SR2 for the time being, but that's just me.
