For those of you who were referred here via a redditor....

[exploitedworkerbee]

Well when I’m unbanned from reddit in 2 days I can wipe clean any reference to this site and auto ban anyone referencing glp1forum and alternate spellings. Can also take other measures to make sure no one comes here.

Happy to respect the mods decisions, it’s just not clear other than some snark.

what I am asking for is for you to exercise good judgement. You’re not breaking any rules by having the link up. That doesn’t mean it should be up — that’s where your judgement comes into play. I’m not the arbiter of every situation, you need to be an adult and evaluate whether there is a good reason to share it when you do. This goes for everyone. Just use your noggins people, I’m not your dad.

If you think it’s a good idea and you’ve spend the time to actually think about it and not just share for the likes and upvotes or whatever then you have my blessing.

That said @ZippityDooDah is in fact your dad so he might veto this and say take it down.

I only have it up to help people find sources. Not likes or upvotes, which is insulting.

Personally I would love to remove a site where a mod makes the community feel unwelcome and that borders on hostile.

They BANNED you?! What for (ostensibly)?

I didn’t say you did it for upvotes. I said that people shouldn’t. Simply asking people to use good judgement ought not be taken as hostile by people able to do so.

But great, you’ve self-identified as ill suited for this community, probably best to remove that link.

Reddit banned me for the random raffle post, but not for the raffle reveal. So I’m not sure exactly, appears to be anti-raffle. No raffles will take place again.

The irony of advocating for discretion while blasting something on Reddit.

Anyway, it's too late. That sub gained over 2k people in a week. Damage is already done.

I know reddit.com isn't known for having the sharpest user base but that doesn't mean educating people on the need for discretion early on is not beneficial. The suggestion isn't a perfect, but could help lessen the impact.

Personally i don't see it as a problem that the site is growing. But it is a problem if the people coming here are completely clueless.

That's... I got nothin'. Wonder if it was content of raffle or raffle at all.

Listen - I can appreciate the level of panic and desperation that many people in those subs were feeling when the compounding rug got yanked out from under everyone. I do want to believe you were trying to be altruistic/helpful, but God damn it...I wish you would have gone about it differently. I don't think people here are necessarily hostile towards the newbies (aside from good natured ribbing), I just think the people here are now as concerned that these sources will disappear as the compounding community was. I've seen a lot of people answer a lot of questions patiently, point to popular threads, post videos, etc. I wouldn't call this environment hostile... Maybe a little terse lol.

Ultimately, it is what it is now. Hopefully we weather this little storm okay. People who can hack it here will stay, others will decide it's not for them (this is my pep talk).

I don't disagree. I also don't think literally everyone on Reddit is an idiot... Most of the people here probably have a Reddit account for one reason is another. This situation reminds me of that quote from MIB:

Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.

Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow

I found my own way here as well. It wasn't hard. I'm a Gen X'er and grew up on forums, so I just googled "GLP forum" and voila, here I am 🤣

Wait until you figure out how to make a dump of the forum on your computer and run it against a local LLM, it's like voodoo magic for finding answers quick 😁

 

[ZippityDooDah]

to the best of my knowledge there isn’t any prohibition on sharing the link to this site @ZippityDooDah can correct me if I’m wrong. Obviously if you’re in a group full of dipshits maybe you keep it to yourself though.

Correct, there isn't any prohibition. I suggested/requested at some point giving some thought to where the link was shared to help attract mostly nice and thoughtful people, and didn't want anyone spamming any other venues with links, but otherwise folks can share as they see fit.

I am starting to feel like they need to limit new members.

“They” is one guy who I think just wanted a place where people who can speak freely about peptides. This platform is overseas somewhere which allows us to be more open and not worry about reddit or discord bans. I don’t think new members need to be limited but they do need to be reeducated. Everyone needs read the announcements page, use the search bar, lurk and learn for a while and then ask more intelligent questions instead of just making a “what’s the best source for xyz” as their first post. I want to help people too, but I’m not going to do the work for them. There are still lots of breadcrumbs to find in this community as well.

Imo this is the correct way to find it

 

[Glp1judd]

If this place gets traction and grows exponentially it WILL pop up on someone’s radar.

Probably already have a few company reps as members just to lurk.

If it seems the size and scope of membership or viewership is getting biz enough to be worth the hassle, some action could be taken.

More for the Scary headlines generated than the actual enforcement.

The pharma companies just wanna scare gen pop every so often to keep them too scared to save the 99% on their life-saving medication.

Assume it is already on the "radar".

But this isn't Silk Road either.

It's not like you can't see anything here without an account. I lurked for quite a while before signing up. This forum is an open book and it's a top result from Google if you just search for glp-1 forums. The founder also has a subreddit named after the forum, with a link to the forum in the sidebar, and a link to the forum in his reddit signature. GLP-1 forum is not like the other site (fight club) where:

1. You can't access any content without an account

This is why I find it funny when people get so bent out of shape about account age. I found this forum in January and didn’t make an account until recently because I was just happy to read and learn. I’m sure there are plenty of lurkers reading this right now without an account.

There are, in fact, 30 people without accounts viewing the site right now! 23 with accounts, 53 total.

This was my experience as well. Been happy reading what thoughtful and more knowledgeable people have to say until I have gained some experience in this realm. I have found this forum to be a pretty great place with a helpful community. It seems like a lot of the members have a grasp on common sense and it has been refreshing. Finally signed up.

My opinion probably doesn't matter, but I don't necessarily think it would be a bad thing if the forum was locked behind an account/login. That being said, I wouldn't have had the experience that I did if that were the case.

Not a fan of the whole, keep it under lock, hide it away type approach, if others found it, Lily can find it. I just don't like gatekeeping in general. Can you not just host the site in Russia and China where they can't touch you?

 

[nonyabizznez]

I'm still thinking an entry captcha test:

Pick which vendor is likely to call you dear
Pick which vendor is likely to call you a dick
Pick which symbol means SEARCH (hint 🔎)

Do people realize it takes less time to search and review results then to post and await feedback? Basically anyone asking a reconstitution, bac water, storage, peptide calculator, plateau, constipation related question doesn't deserve a response. (Imo)
(Some of y'all have patience!)

I registered here a long time ago under a different moniker but didn't post... Too close to my email address where as if I posted something negative about a vendor they might fill my next vials with cornstarch. Now that I think of it maybe that's what's causing the gelling? Works in brown sauce...

Wait.... you can catch a ban for private message content without the other person reporting it?

Maybe if you comment on a post “dm’ed you” and someone reports it? Or “dm me for sources” lol.

I feel the same way. If we lock it up, pretty soon everybody has to start referring to themselves as a Research Subject too, and hey why not make some parts of the site even MORE restricted. And then we're just like the other place, which is fine but that's not this place. And personally the other place, I don't like it as much. That place seems like everyone is putting on airs or make believing that by saying RS did something that gives some kind of out. But maybe I'm wrong and the judge will just pack everything up when you say RS instead of me/I. 😆

I hate that research subject shit. you are fooling exactly no one and it just makes everything people type sound stupid. Most don't even do it right and refer to their RS as the one buying peps lol

This site is already not hosted in the US.

This forum has 2,500 users. Not sure how big the other forums have, but 2,500 people isn't moving the needle at all in the legal world. 10k, maybe, 50k-100k, sure. But where I live we have that many homeless people living on the streets and 95% them get high on drugs that are illegal and wayyyyyy more dangerous and the government doesn't bother with them much.

That’s because there’s no profit involved 😉
