The Vice City market was launched in May 2020 and has gained considerable notoriety in its nearly three years of operation. Although during this process, the dark web market suffered considerable downtime and connection issues, basic functions were often unavailable, but was always able to eventually recover. Therefore, the current issues with the market may only be temporary.

Elude.in, once considered one of the most reliable anonymous encryption exchange services on the dark web, has been in operation for over five years. In addition to serving as a cryptocurrency exchange and mixer, they also provide a free anonymous email service, which is also popular among dark web users.

Only a few days after a dramatic relaunch, Dread, a well-known forum focused on communicating about the dark web market, is once again offline for the same reason: what co-administrator HugBunter calls a "well-funded DDOS attack".

Libre Forum, a new forum coded from scratch, claims to want to provide the dark web community with an alternative to freely discussing the ideas of dark web users. They are still in the early stages of building the site, so there is a lot to look forward to. The forum has a nice user interface and full functionality, and access is relatively quick.

Dread admin "Hugbunter" says the Dread forums are hopeful of a return within a week, while the Dread dark web v3 URL is now properly accessible and the page has two announcements revealing the progress of the Dread update and that it will be back at full speed soon.
