SR was recently shut down temporarily because of too much attention. we know about it, keep it t yourself or tell people you trust i just dont think anything should pop up about SR on google, there are plenty of other legal sites that participate in BTC, BTC its getting plenty of exposure, illegal marketplaces dont need exposure. SR and the like are awesome i wouldnt want to do anything that would risk comprimising them.
I kind of think you're right, it's just: we've nowhere else to go. It's about the only place we can get any info on what is going on...but you put it better than I've heard...most people are so angry at us, but we use btc, so we gotta go somewhere...plus, where else would we find out if another site, like Black Market, is coming about? And I doubt google hits on black market will be that exciting...it's too generic a term...most people that actually use site know it's on hold...but I totally agree not to start threads with name spelled out...
