Just a heads up: DNStats shows Abraxas as down but it's running fine

Please don't take the following like I'm trying to tell you "HOW DAT SHIT IS DONE SON" - I really have almost no idea. It's just things I found missing/disturbing/didn't understand on your site. And you asked me what I am thinking, so it's your own fault :P ;)

Hm, I guess that would get pretty redundant with each more market-review you'll read, because ultimately markets all do the same and have about the same features and such.

What I'd do is update everything first. Like each markets link, you could add the alternate onion addresses, add forum-links to each market if it has one, update the description and all details like comission, vendor fee etc.

And maybe re-think the details, too. What exactly does "Vendor PGP Enforced" mean, for example? Or is it MS-only when it's supporting MS? Or does it have normal escrow & ms? "FE allowed?" should be changed to "FE requirements" for vendors, so people know to not fall for FE-scams on that market if the vendor is new and requiring it (even tho they still will). That's just examples, you surely know what I mean.

A proper description for each market, mentioning some of the unique features and things like how many confirmations needed, what kind of MS is being used (got to deposit first?), what's allowed and what's not and about how many listings each category (drugs, paraph., weapons, fraud, whatever) has or what the market is/was made for/around (carders, exploits, drugs, everything).

I'd guess that'd be a good first step. Then you should really get a bit more aggressive, not in a way like "I WUNT MONAY" but "that shit's gotta pay for itself at least" - so reach out to whoever you think fitting and get them to ad on your site. Add more places for adds with different sizes for different prices, for example. Also, when I access your site on a tablet/mobile, the ads-tile is almost at the bottom where it should be on the top. Who'd pay for an ad you've got to scroll all the way down? :P

There's also more ways than just throwing a btc-address somewhere and write "donate if you want to". I don't know how much people visit the "about" site, but I guess every single one was looking for a bit more than just that. :P

Granted, you've got an FAQ and mention that you're in need of donations to keep it running, but you should write that also in the about-section, with a little background on the site, maybe some data (so people see that buying an ad-space is worth it) and how much the site costs and what you already earned this month with donations. Some sites have a "x$ / xx$"-goal for each month. And add more ways to donate.

If you then still want me to write something about a few markets, I'll gladly do it. :P
