Dear Silk Road community,
A combination of bad luck, bad timing and lack of preparation has led to our forums being down over the last 72 hours or so. I am terribly sorry for any trouble this has caused you. The main market is equipped with a semi-automated backup and redeploy system to minimize this kind of down-time, but I hadn't gotten around to setting the forum up in that way, and this is the consequence.
The cause of the downtime was not security related, nor was it caused by a malicious party. Sometimes technology just breaks, and because of the constraints from the nature of our business, it can take time to recover if proper precautions haven't been taken, or don't work as expected.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, so hopefully we can enjoy each other's company even more now that we've had some time apart.
*Important notice*
To keep up with the high demand of peoples withdrawals due to the fast changing BTC economy, I will be needing upto 1000 bitcoin to keep up with cashflow.
Anything you donate WILL be paid back upto DOUBLE within 2 days, either as giftcodes or back to the same address you paid from.

100% scam.
It baffles me how people actually fall for that shit.

Welcome to the anonymous internet, where anyone can do anything and not get caught. Get used to this kind of thing, and even more legitimate sounding messages that include a product offer of some sort. Never send money to solicitors. And don't bother making a thread about this kind of thing next time. ;)

How come I'm not smart enough to thnk up something as good as this?
Damn the last scam muscled $70,000. In a day As Fucking if !
Not that I want to scam people but , hey if some are willing to just hand it over so easily then hose are ok low hanging fruit. Maybe many peoe here are mentally challenged.
So , yes. There must be many easy to trick people here. I think good judgment goes out the window when you are high on drugs. You get all excited when you get a new message from a vendor or staff or DPR. so you'll do whatever they ask in the message.
Don't kiss ass.

i only posted it as alot of people have fallen for these type of things recently and thought if it only stopped one other person falling victim is was worth it.
