EDIT: the old torrent is now deprecated; please use my full DNM archive instead.
To help with the fallout from the Evolution exit scam and let people look up discussions of vendors, their feedback threads, and anything they might've posted to the Evolution forums like contact info, I am releasing my mirrors of the Evolution forums:
This is a 1.1GB XZ-compressed tarball which unpacks to ~290GB, containing mirrors from 2014-01 - 2015-03; as with the Evolution market mirrors, each subfolder is a single wget crawl dated when it finished, of varying levels of completeness. These are the HTML pages displayed by the forum. Not the best browsing or viewing experience, but it's much better than nothing.
Note that the mirrors are heavily redundant since forums are cumulative, so unless you're looking for something you think was deleted, you may only want to extract the last few crawls. A tar option along the lines of --wildcards "*2015-03-*"
should work.
For the scrape of the market itself, not the forums, see https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/2zllmv/evolution_market_mirrorscrapes_torrent_released/
(Hopefully this scrape won't get me shadowbanned too.)
this guy is a fucking DNM god
