Been around since the early days of the og SR.
The answer is yes, however, the Feds are stepping up their technique. This round of takedowns was much more strategic then previously raids. For example, OP Onymous...one of the weakest displays to date.
I have a feeling that this take down, being as complex and dynamic as was...will cause the community a bit longer than usual to get back to get back on its feet.
Often...an incident like this will inherently make the community, market owners and service providers step up their game and evolve.

Pretty much. In the past, when sites went down, even more new sites would spring up at the opportunity to fill the void, and the publicity would increase the DNM user population by a decent factor. Like the hydra, they cut off a head and more grow from the ashes. I see no reason why this new takedown, while monumental in its scale and depth of invasion, should be any different.
