When a small site has a hundrend thousand members, 2/3rds more from 2011. The program set up cant handle that many new users and members, SR isn`t built like Ebay. In future admissions should be regulated somehow, every other site I know of you need to be sortve screened, partners in pain (pip) the moderator screened new applicants. You had to know someone or be recommended for admission. The sheer amount of new users like teenagers and others making news will be SRs downfall eventually. Sorry but if your a 13 or so yrs old member caught by mother who then petitions the government as well as certain other countries politicians, this site needs to be regulated IMO.

If you've been around long enough you would know the philosophy that DPR adopts, it goes along the lines that SR should be open for everyone.
-
I'm starting to wonder, is DRP not a Libertarian at all but instead some Nazi thief who's fucked off with our money? It's a devastating thought and we know how hard they try to prevent scammers, but would they do i to us instead???
-
Yea I know so u think SR should be open to kids flooding in I guess. There needs to be a line drawn somewhere.

I agree, some serious screening needs to occur. People should have to submit references etc to get a new account and even some n00bs should have theirs revoked until further notice. That's if we ever get the Road back again!

You gonna start asking for ID? :D

Yea lol starting with u

It not open for everyone when it's inaccessible to everyone. To insure access to the max number of users possible, limits have to be imposed. If DPR wants it differently, then he and the SR team should have planned to grow, and been prepared to grow with no limits.

I just want my bitcoins back, I just got approved to another site (not this site) the day I loaded btc then site went down.
-
You need to calm down, SR has been down for longer before and will be back at some point. Obviously it is annoying but we are all in the same boat here, at least you are not a vendor. With margins so tight and the fees imposed on vendors I feel for them.
You just got really unlucky the first time you tried, be glad you got to register at all though.
-
Mate, imagine how I feel, I just loaded 150 BTC into my account today on top of what I had not knowing about any of this until after the fact. I can see by my wallet it's in my SR account now, I just can't access it. It's very strange and TBH I'm starting to think we've all been had. I really couldn't afford to lose that money it was all I had!

I am in the middle of a shipping problem. Everything was legit on my receiving addy but somehow it ended up in mail Recovery (dead letter office) and I can't get with my excellent vendor to straighten our business.
It's frustrating but we all need to sit back a moment and let DPR get things up to par with all the traffic. Rushing it could have disastrous consequences. If it is about building a stronger system we should say THANK YOU and chill.
I went to the alt site. Hate it.
It would be nice to get some official word though beyond DPR's Nov1 post.
-
So sad man, why did you take all the money you had and put it in SR?!?!
I hope you live with your parents because that is freaking crazy, what are you going to eat, how will you buy gas and pay your bills?
-
BTW there is an alt BTC wallet option in your profile settings to dump BTC to if the site goes down. If and when it's up it may be a good idea to use your options.
-
There is always a good reason to tamp down on freedom, especially if it is for others. If we go down that road by screened registrations or kicking newer members of SR who knows where it will end. You have asked the people running the site to act immorally, plain and simple, and it is only a matter of time before they act that way towards you. If you want to regulate who buys and sells drugs somewhere open a business in your home. With all that being said we are not sure what is actually affecting the site is actually a result of too many members attempting to access it. That may not even be close to the situation...

There seems to be a 'maintenance' message showing now...better than failing to connect at all???
The Silk Road is down for maintenance. We will get the site back up asap. Thank you for your patience.
-
yup, when i joined well over a year ago i completely saw that this problem would happen after i read the first gauker article
-
apparently the Silk Road administrators dont take into account that there "are" addicts (like myself) who have to place orders on a regular basis in order to keep from having withdraws, and when they close the site for maintenance, for weeks on end, then yes, we addicts "will" experience withdraws. all i have to say is, this site had better be up by tomorrow (Monday) or i "will" be raising some hell with those who are responsible through email. GET IT TOGETHER!!! >:(
-
I wonder how many users there are who have been members for an extended period and haven't made a purchase?
I wonder how many of those users are LE...

Solution: stop being a junkie.
Seriously, SR being down for a few days was bound to happen eventually...
-
well put^. never rely on a place like this for something needed to get you through a day. at the very least get some local numbers to buy off of in case of emergency. better yet, don't get physically addicted to shit. It's easy for me to say because I'm on suboxone and that's as simple as showing up at a doctors appointment and then going to the pharmacy, but even before that I knew how to find heroin or pills, even if it required walking into some of the filthiest most dangerous enclaves of society with a wad of cash in my pocket.
-
Em....
Its not SR or its admins responsibility to cater for junkies!!
You make out like you have some divine right as of your addiction.

Its your fault that you are an addict. I know how it is. i used to be addicted to oxy and heroin. I am clean now however and see things in a different light. I put myself in that position and i ruined my life. Honestly for you bro it would be the best thing if silk road never came back so you could get clean. you have problems man. I dont mean to be an asshole but its the most important thing you could possibly do to get clean now. there are 3 options for a hard core drug addict like i used to be and you apparently are. 1. get clean and become more strong from the experience, 2. end up incarcerated and 3. Die from an overdose. Its your choice man. your in controll of your actions and not anybody else. are you an opiate addict? if so PM me and well talk. its a long and hard road. when you think you hit your rock bottom its not even close. i realized that after 5 years of addiction when i was about to end my own life. I have love for you bro. more than you know. I never talk about my personal life here but im an addiction counselor specialist who has been there and done that. The only way i can stay clean is to try my best to help others who are in the same life ending situation that i was in.

the higher powers above are working as hard as they can to help fiends like you "get their fix."
if the site didn't ever go down for maintenance it would not be up for use.. so people "like YOU"
wouldn't be here getting dope anyways. you obviously shouldn't be addicted to something
you can't get where you live off of the streets...
soo... get it together and stop the raging.

OP, why do you feel the need to start a new thread for every thought and theory that pops into your head?
