Found this on the supposed backup for SR forums... Can anyone confirm that these forums are legit? Actually DPR?..

Yes this was all an elaborate ruse to shame the DEA and FBI.

Even if they were allowing him internet access in his cell, they probably wouldn't let him download Tor

I don't suppose he could have been bailed out and made the post? Those forums could also be fake, I don't know how to find out whether they are or not though, other than asking if anyone here possibly knows.

My thoughts are that anyone can register under the name Dread Pirate Roberts and post a message, and that it's time to accept that this Silk Road is gone.

Yes true, UNLESS the backup forums were made before all of this happened, as well as DPR's account. What really matters here is if that URL is a legitimate backup, or just a fake backup... I don't think DPR would have made a backup without making an account there himself beforehand.

Someone made that backup forum today, there's a thread about it somewhere. It's completely unofficial.

Okay, I checked all of the accounts on that site, and it seems to me that it's fake... All of the accounts there were made today. Bummer

It's not fake, someone made it as a backup site for communication when these forums go down. It's simply just a forum with an identical layout and a misleading name. If I still had the thread open I would link it.
