All good, we were all there at one point.

This is disappointing and unsurprising. I know a giant influx of clueless people looking for research materials is probably less than ideal but I do hope they can at least get GOOD information from here that will help them in the long run. I don't want to see people left out to dry thanks to the FDA's decision. If you are new and reading this PLEASE do a lot of research before ordering anything and injecting it into your research subject.
I am here from the Reddit squeeze. A month or so ago a certain subreddit started temp banning people. I'd found dionysos.905's shared sheet on Reddit as it was in his user profile. It was quite helpful. Even while on Reddit only I was able to source some decent products and supplement my compounded.
When Dionysos was nuked on Reddit, I googled some text from his sheet in quotes and found this forum.
Lucky you!
In all seriousness, I think the "massive influx" will be underwhelming.
Just remember, you're injecting yourself with counterfeit drugs obtained from shady sources overseas. I don't see it as an elite club.
For the influx of Redditors that we are about to get since I saw several links to this forum posted on the thread for this.
DO YOU RESEARCH.
Do not come in here and just buy from the first vendor you see. Give yourself at least a few weeks to research and learn. A lot of the people here have been in the pep space for months if not years. There's a lot to learn and a lot of great spaces but also plenty of bad actors who will scam you. Don't panic buy the gray market isn't going anywhere.

This plus the strike is going to make the next few months very painful. I know Peppy's has lots of resources but we're not supposed to post them here. Does this forum have its own library?
SO very thankful I found this forum! Big thanks to Dionysos and many others for the priceless info found here. I was in a panic last week when the news broke on Reddit (yeah, I know but this time they were right!) that my compounded Tirz was going away. Sema didn't really work for me after a few weeks, but the Tirz works great, even at a low 5 mg dose. I still need to lose another 25 pounds to get to a healthy weight, and there's no way in hell I can afford Lilly's insane prices for their liquid gold. I did manage to get 80 mg of compounded from Lavender and 180 mg from Slim Down. Which will last me about 6-9 months, since I'm sure I'll need to titrate up at some point. Even with that stash in the fridge I'd be very worried right now, since I'll probably need to be on at least a low maintainence dose of this medication for years, if not the rest of my life. Being free from food-addiction has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me and I can't imagine going back to that now.
I have no problem whatsover ordering research Tirz, even from China, and reconstituting it myself, and I don't see those greedy bastards at Lilly being able to stop that any time soon.
Thanks to all of you for my peaceful sleep tonight.

longshoremen strike is limited to east coast and gulf ports. The majority, if not all, of the peps from CN come by plane.

Based on what I've read it seems like the actual bottleneck is related to the components that go into manufacturing of the pens, not the peptides themselves. Shipping those parts by airfreight is part of their mitigation plan, but I've no clue what that means for all of the stuff stuck at port. This is still a problem for anyone with a prescription.
What's interesting to me is that while NN is taking steps to reassure their customers, Lilly hasn't commented.

My Fear is if the community gets too big they will be forced to deal with us even more 😐

That is their rule, and users can get banned for doing so. They are very stringent over there to protect the platform.
Legalities and because the focus is on discretion and not bringing undue attention. Private invites to those one has gotten to know and trusts best as one can, ok - but no public invites for there on any forum, including this one.

And an announcement was just made there - no public invites. Private ok and they are offering suggestions about how to familiarize oneself and links to docs to read, but the poster has to delete that post.

You also need to remove the link from your quote
What link in my post? To OP?

Yes. When you quoted them you quoted the link to Peppy's too.
Thank you! Deleted. I sent DM earlier tonight but no response from poster. Then sent another one an hour later strongly suggesting poster delete. I tried.

I removed the post with the link. Let me know if there was anything else that is out of line with their rules (shared resources and such)
Sorry I was asleep 😢

wait till there is an influx of the same repetitive questions "how do i reconstitute 5mg of tirz?", "does this vial looks ok?", "what is my dosage?", "who is the best vendor?", "is this {insert any kind of possibility} normal?",...
@LumpySpace Great point! Another reason not to share links and make this forum the next Reddit/FB. If people want to research they will take the time and find reliable information/sources.

In a Facebook group someone asked how to get their 10mg dose from a 5mg vial. And why was it a powder. Newbies are great, but they need to do their due diligence and research. We need to set the expectation that while we are a welcoming community that's happy to help, we can't spoon feed them all the answers.
