Title: The New Forum
Post by: Shattered Soldier on June 18, 2011, 11:33 am
I think its nice to have a place to go to calm our nerves during an outage.  I'm just a little disappointed that all of the older threads got killed because many of them were still active.  I guess we'll have to start from scratch.

1. shouldn't have to enter an email. I tried registering my old name with a fake email and it didn't let me sign in. It worked after I created a dummy acct on yahoo and used that.

2. migration could have gone a lot better. I don't like the fact that I can easily register with a trusted seller's name right now. I imagine this is going to be a big headache for SR.

I like it alright: the links made me have to sign up again, but I'm new anyway, and over the last week, i've gotten kind of used to 'signing in'  ;D ...and not getting anywhere...but so far, so good ...

A lot nicer than the previous SR forum.

I don't think it'll be that big of a deal, if a sellers forum name gets taken they can just put their real forum name on the Silk Road profile.

If your posts aren't showing up, or if it's saying you aren't logged in, try reloading and bypassing the cache (probably hold Ctrl when you refresh, depending on browser).

BTW, I was able to register with a fake email address. Left it blank the first time and got an error message, tried again with a fake email and it said I'd already registered a few seconds earlier, logged in and the fake one is in my profile now.

Agreed. Why would you require an email address? If we wanted to give personal information, we wouldn't be using Tor and shopping with Bit Coins. How many of the email addresses used do you think are actually real email addresses?
