Alphabay Forums making you use same name as main site name now?

It looks like Alphabay's forum is making you use the main site's same username now since they ask for a registration token and shit. That's new, and totally bullshit.

I'll make a new alphabay account completely and use that on the forums too then. I can already smell "We don't like you talking truth in the forums so we banned you from the forums, and since we link it to your main account now we banned that too!"

If you don't like your purchase history being linked to your forum posts, which is a very valid concern, you should simply make a second account that you can tie to your forum account and not order anything with.

Just make a throwaway AB buyer account the same as your forum account & keep using the AB market account as usual my friend :-) Its how myself & a few others were able to keep our old forum accounts...fuck starting over!!!!!!

There was a discussion about this last week. The overall consensus was that it was a poor decision. From an OpSec perspective, it's a horrible idea to attach your market history with your forum history.

I for one will not be using their forums in the foreseeable future.

Not like I did much in the past, but once in a while, it was a good backup for researching vendors, etc.

They should have re-structured their forums, as they currently are a mess. But instead, they do this...

Why does everyone always jump to the negative ? It's so people can be assured that the person they think is the vendor is actually the vendor. You're not being forced to use it, and they're not going to ban your accounts on the site because of what you say on the forums, have some faith and stop diving straight to the negative.

The forums are probably overrun with spam accounts and name jackers who could pretend to be the vendor because said vendor doesn't visit the forums.

And as has been said by /u/RIP_Meth_9000 you can just create a dummy account if you want to remain anonymous in that fashion.
