SR is down, The Black Flag ended up as a scam, Atlantis ended up as a scam and now The Sheep Market follows that dark path. This puts BMR in the edge of the blade, Tor can't support any site to be too big, Tor is all about community and you just keep anonymous as long as you can blend with the community. BMR can't be scaled up, Tor isn't a place for big enterprises, and can't hold another wave of refugees. When SR went down I forgave that they spammed my forum and tried to contact the Sheep admin so we could cooperate in a way to balance the load between our sites, I got no reply which made me fear the worse, a suspect now to be confirmed as it seams. Without competition the wisest thing to do is to shutdown the market, doing it in a timely and orderly manner. An alternative would be to smash the market into tiny bits that could spread the load between nodes and servers, but that would take a while to do. For now I'll ask the Support Team to not enact new sellers while watch closely what will go with Sheep, if things goes bad, I'm sorry to say that, but I'll have to retire the market at least until some reliable market come along so we can cloak each other. But I don't see who can that be, the best quality to seek in a market admin is the rare ability to control greed, and that's not easy at all, but who knows.

Looks like gwern was correct. But, it looks like backopy made a clean exit. A wise call.
Not closing down as of right now. Many things can happen. Backopy wants us to remember BMR for not being like the rest and doing it right. Tormarket is set to take up a lot of traffic if they can figure everything out. However, it is ran by two people which can probebly get hard if they do take a lot of traffic. Everything is up in the air
