Why people still put up with that site is beyond me. It's perpetually having issues.

Despite their constant issues as of late, they seem to be doing their best to work things out... why do people still use it? sell some vendors use it exclusively, the next largest market BB now i think, has half the listing... nucleus looks like a scam from the get go. and you just never know with DNM's what's going to happen.

i won't forget almost shitting my pants when i realized sr1 was actually seized, or when sheep went down (although that was somewhat predictable), but then you have sites that get busted like cloud9 that were smooth like BB, and then you have seemingly popular/professional sites like Evo just pull a SheepMP amd walk off with $34 million.

It's a crap shoot either way. Agora some times reminds me of BMR in that sevurity seems to be the number one concern, although Ag is defeinitely more user friendly.

I just wish they were more clear about the problems they were having. is it their coding? a DDOS? a hacker?

I used Agora for a long time but recently I've found BlackBank to be better in a number of way. It's not as organized as Agora but I haven't had any issues with it besides it having a very small community but I can find what I'm looking for and I've never been scammed or even had a pack out longer then less than 3 days.

BlackBank is slow cause at least 50,000 users have signed up since Evo's demise...figure if half of those are frequent traffic it'll put a damper on it. Same story, different day. People will leave Agora > BB then one of those folds then everyone realizes "how great" Nucleus is yada yada yada my friends. Sucks if your cash gets caught on a bulk buy though :/

Real deal I think the gov keeps hands off for the most part bc this shit is keeping USPS afloat! Without DNM packs theyd lose a chunk of volume.

I've given up on Agora and have moved to BlackBank which is always up. Not as many listings but I know I'm going to get my order and not that dreaded message when I try and access the site

this must happen at least weekly nowadays

To all users saying it is better that Agora focuses on security rather than usability: you are trusting the words and skills of anonymous administrators.
