My number one suggestion is to add an intelligence forum where people can link to news stories regarding online drug trafficking, links to .pdf of law enforcement training manuals, shit like that. It comes in handy. My second suggestion is to add an advanced security subforum and only let people who are not talking out of their assholes post in it, to help cut down on all of the pure misinformation that is present in many of the security threads. My third suggestion is to start focusing on SR as a community and a network instead of SR as a commercial venture. Of course SR is a commercial venture and the admin should get paid, but if you want to be a customer of a website that organizes drug deals instead of part of a movement against the state and towards freedom then I really think you should have higher aspirations. This site has the potential to be so much more than a drug market place, it has the potential to get accurate security information in the hands of the people, it has the potential to be better than OVDB was in many areas IN ADDITION to being better than OVDB was at customer support etc. I think it is SR himself who needs to ask himself if he only see's SR as a commercial venture or if he wants to be part of something bigger and more powerful than that, because even though both can be done at the same time in some cases there will be conflicts of interest between what is best for the scene and what is best for the person who is running SR. I hope he can see that he is part of something bigger and make choices that aid the network, although I DO think him being paid for running the site is currently an aid to the scene because it makes the site self sustaining. Pretty much what I am trying to say is, let's try to bring this forum up to the quality that OVDB was. No disrespect is meant towards this community when I say this, but I think it is apparent that the information regarding security and the network organization here is of a lower quality than was the case on OVDB. But SR has the potential to be even better because it CAN raise itself to that quality standard and it already has an audience of over a hundred thousand people. Don't waste the opportunity to help secure networks from the state on lining your pockets with bitcoins....do both simultaneously. That ends my incoherent rambling for the day, just food for thought.
