There's nothing WRONG with endorsing BM, anybody who jumps all over you for that is a fucking moron.SR went down shortly after the gawker rush, a bunch of people migrated over there to keep getting supply. Unfortunately some dickless-fuck scammers had already made a bunch of accounts using the names of established sellers here (and buyers weren't using PGP to verify identity), BM had no escrow, so a shitload of people got scammed.On top of that, BM was trying to attract a larger market share by saying NO RESTRICTIONS on any listings, including counterfeit currency, fake ID's, firearms/explosives, and child porn. The latter attracted, and rightly so, the ire of one of the more infamous hacker groups, who sent the entire site database to the FBI and created a redirect from BM to the FBI's site. This was simply vendetta hacking, but it has damaged BM's rep enough that nobody will touch it.At the time I even set up a seller account over there becuase nobody knew if SR was coming back or not. I might be the cannabis seller the OP is referring to, who knows, but if you checked my last-seen over there it should say a couple of months, since I bailed on BM even before the whole CP issue blew up because so many people were getting scammed I knew it would be pointless to pursue selling on there.As for the security of the site, I would recommend instead of nattering back and forth like a bunch of little boys on whose SQL dick hangs lower and how many cheap HTTP whores you've fucked, we start looking at this whole fucking situation ratioanally and have at this like a community instead of a bunch of whiny asshats.I don't know the first fucking thing about PGP, SQL or programming web security. I know how to source good product and deliver it consistently to people who want it. That is my role here. Maybe from time to time I enjoy taking a paddle to the little asses of the useless trolls too, but that's just entertainment to me.If you are ACTUALLY concerned about the security issues, and DO know something about this, and DO give a shit about the community's longevity, I would suggest taking a more adult approach to dealing with problems.Compile an actual, functional list of the issues that concern you. Be specific. Take a few of the more pertinent ones and send them to SR in a PGP encrypted message to his key. Your time isn't free either, and i know that SR is looking for a Unix Admin and have some money to offer, so tell SR those ones are a freebie, but you have found (x) number of issues that also concern you. If he'll pay you a bit for your time, you will be willing to go over the other ones with him, and if actually implements the shit you recommend to pay you accordingly since you are saving his ass. I can't imagine SR is constantly lurking the forums, so a little proactivity and some PM's might go a lot further. SR has answered every single one of my PM's since I first came to this site and seems to check those regularly. I'm sure if you put ***Security Issues*** in the subject he would give it a read.He has just as much or more to lose than any of us from LE compromising the site. I dont' think he'll brush it off if you take a proactive approach. if he does, it might be time to start looking for a new home - but at the same token he knows this so it's still in his best interest to get shit together.In the meantime, a lot of us need to grow up and stop gnattering at each other and start tackling this shit head-on. bitching and whining and breaking out the fucking belt ruler gets nobody anywhere, and I for one thank the OP for starting this thread because this entire issue is of paramount importance to us maturing and meeting our individual and cooperative goals as a community.let's actually do it.
