It's a big chunk, which is why this wasn't an easy decision to make.

I understand your decision, but know this will likely lead to a major decrease in this sites activity. The mods of greymarket are actively creating an alternative as we speak - I hope you guys the best, as I am aware of the precarious predicament you are in, but realistically speaking I think this will be a major hit on your site.
I do enjoy saidit more than reddit nowadays, so it saddens me to hear this news. I sincerely hope I am wrong.

I understand and you're probably right, but d3rr and I believe saidit will recover those user numbers in the long term. This is like ripping off a bandaid, it's not fun and I don't really want to do it, but it's just got to be done or else there might be huge problems down the road. I appreciate the kind words, I wish you all the best too.

I honestly agree. If you want a legitimate site, you are gonna eventually have to rid yourselves of anything sketchy. Greymarket vending is about as sketchy as it gets - especially with all of the recent heat it's been receiving. Once again, best of luck.
This sucks to hear, but long-term it is most definitely the right choice. Otherwise saidit would just be a ticking time bomb

Exactly. I'm glad you get it. If we didn't make this change now, it was just a matter of time until it bites us in the ass

Very bitter-sweet for me. I want this site to do well, but greymarket was a huge component of that (for me at least).
Seriously, best of luck. I want this place to succeed as much as you do

Thank you, I can tell you care. I have nothing against greymarket per se, it's just for the longevity of the site from a legal perspective. I'm sure it'll find other corners of the internet to thrive in.

Most definitely it will. Longterm this is without a doubt the way to go. Saidit still has a nice path it can follow too - just keep up the good work and it will survive (maybe thrive, even?) once the dust settles
