Well that was certainly an interesting launch and I am happy to announce it went quite successfully after the initial hiccup. We've had over 5,000 registrations since launch and still growing which is great news for our community. I would like to use this opportunity to make clear some things regarding the next stage of the process and answer some common questions. Vendor accounts are being processed already and you have two options. If you can verify you were a vendor on the old forums via a PGP message, please contact Sarge who will verify your forum account as a vendor. AFTER Sarge has verified your forum account, please create a market account and forward the username on the market to me so I can verify it. Alternatively, for those wanting to start fresh or need to pay the vendor bond, you will need to get in contact with me. The vendor bond is set at $200 currently. Create a market and forum account (preferably with matching names if possible) which you would like to be a vendor using. Then once you have those set up send me a message saying you would like to be a vendor and are ready to pay the vendor bond. I will then provide you with a bitcoin address to deposit your vendor bond in and once I have seen it confirmed, I will upgrade both of your accounts to vendor status. We have been inundated with login problems today so please be patient. If you have a bug, please report it in the Bug Report forum and we will get around to it as soon as possible. Problems regarding customer support should also be placed inside the new Customer Support forum and staff will answer your topic as soon as possible. We appreciate all the support offers we have had from many of you and also the offers to join our staff, but I would ask these messages not be conveyed to us at the moment as we are very very busy and it is hindering our effectiveness when we have to struggle to prioritize our work in heaps of mails. An FAQ will be put up shortly which should answer most of your questions! DPR
