I'm having a great time on Sheep, and it seems like so are many former SR members. Same goes for BMR (for the most part). But I've noticed members, both buyers and vendors, are holding out on trading until SR 2.0 is up and running. Why?
So far, it seems like it's only because former members are working on it, which isn't really a good reason in my opinion.
To me, it just seems like the familiarity of the name causes people to want to gravitate it for it because they associate it with the comfort and ease of the original site. I personally would stay the hell away from Silk Road 2.0, but that's just me.
