TR got hyped and was #2 Market behind Dream a week ago. #1 and #2 spot both resulting because of a massive user influx via Reddit / DDW after the Alpha/Hansa fiasco.
And yes Dream has problems. But however me and a ton of (silent majority) never had any with it. And some of those problems that happened come naturally with such an old market. Shit sticks. And people getting fished and still blame Dream for it are another story. Yet Agora/Nucleus/Alpha/Evo/Hansa are gone and Dream is still there.
So saying that the final straw was Speedstepper not answering the Mods with a signed reply just feels, especially regarding the timing, more than fishy. More so that the current state results in Dream getting removed and Traderoute getting a Sticky.
TLDR: Being the biggest DNM is a multi-million dollar business which also has the capacity to route public opinion by paying Mods influencers.
Yeah having Dream pulled off the “super list” or whatever seemed weird to me too. This is just one of several forums where people discuss DNM...to suggest that the mods of this sub can hector and make demands from an admin of a market like Dream is kind of ridiculous when you really think about it.
