Looks like Alfred's project has officially gone live. Congratulations, Alfred! I'm quite happy to see this become a reality. **CLEARNET** http://www.deepdotweb.com/2014/01/15/cross-marketplace-discussion-news-the-hub-forum-is-live/ "It seems like its the communities week, just yesterday we posted about the new Vault43 Community based market and darknet info source, And today its time to release another one, although a bit different. We always wanted a place where we can discuss all the Dark net markets affairs at the same place and stay up to date with all the drama and news thats going around, without being depended on the forums of specific marketplaces especially with all the recent events of markets going down every week or two, So far the best option for this kind of discussion area was reddit and the loved DarknetMarkets Sub, Until now, About two weeks ago we became aware of a great initiative and since than i have been holding myself not to publish it as i was asked to do so  at least until Wednesday, which is today when its planned to be launched, the site is something i would like to call an .onion based Darknetmarkets, and its called: The Hub Forums. Basically, a Cross-market discussion forum and news center. And since we already have Darknetmarkets on Reddit, one might ask himself why do we need another one? Well, there are few advantages that we can point out about using the Hub Alongside Reddit:   Its Onion based  so access is anonymous by default, and also a small barrier against random traffic.   The Sub-Forums are being moderated or at least being visited by the same moderators of various official forums   Vendors are verified prior to getting a vendor status on the forum   Every market has a discussion sub forum of its own rather than one discussion area for all  which makes it much easier finding stuff that relates to specific markets.   Open Place for healthy marketplace competition! You can find the Hub forums at this Url: "
