A new hobby? No!!!!
Do you have any idea what it costs to run this forum, just in orders of magnitude? Is it like $200, $2000 or $20,000 a month?

It cost very little to host a forum. And I'm willing to bet this forum is profitable.
How so?
I used to run an e-cigarette and a jobs forum many years ago when everything was kind of new. I charged vendors and companies a fee per month to advertise on there. Not saying whoever runs this site is or isn't doing the same thing. But like the old saying goes ass, grass or gas. No one rides for free.
You're really saying that you've never done anything truly for free and, as a result, you cannot imagine anyone else would ever do so. Many people in the GLP-1 community devote either money or great amounts of time to educating others.
Except there's no ads here. I've been steered away from more vendors than veered towards based on feedback from fellow posters, not advertisers... That's what Facebook is for 🤷🏻
Vendor section is definitely NOT vetted. It’s a free for all. It’s only controlled in that it requires Zippity add the vendor tag, which only happens after contacting him and asking for it. If it becomes known that there are full on scammers we will ban them, but their presence is in no way an endorsement. Since he is AWOL there are no new vendors, so right now it’s basically 3 or 4 vendors of uncertain quality posting over there.
Does Zippity accept donations?
Hi guy who has only posted 2 messages on this forum, curious how you came to the conclusion that this forum is turning a profit without any source of revenue?
Not to my knowledge. He has certainly never asked for them and has never struck me as the type of person who would accept if offered.
That's what I meant... Edited post. I didn't mean vetted as endorsed.
He's clearly always gone on vacation because of all the money Tracy gives him for trolling the new people into ordering QSC first.
I've been on the internet since 1995, this isn't new dude... and i never said he was turning a profit. i said it's possible
The people always benefited for free. But the sellers never did. And they never should.
In case it wasn't clear, it was indeed a joke. 😘
It is extremely nice that Zippity spends his own money 100% financing this advertising free forum. However, what's even better is that Zippity figured out that by hosting it in Moldova, we'd have much more freedom and would be harder to nuke. Thanks to exploitedworkerbee for volunteering his time to moderate this forum, a task about as easy as herding cats. Exploitedworkerbee does a great job, actually doing his job as a moderator but not moderating too much.
And they're sold out.
I did this same exact thing. Now instead of combing FB I've found this forum, and Telegram and Discourse 🤦♀️ so much for the ,"I'm done with Social media",lol! Now I'm just an internet stranger, who is social with a bunch of other internet strangers and Im spending more time on these than I did on FB..bahahahaha!
Well, I just deactivated. Interacting with strangers is so much easier, cause I don't give a shit now🤣 and I have so much more peace, it's crazy! I gave too much of a shit on FB, I was like who wants to see what your supper looks like?! Stuff I shouldn't of took a second thought about. I'm an overthinker, Peps have helped with that, now all I focus on are new peptides😅🤣
I'm not ready to close it entirely, but I really want it off my phone- it collects waaaaaayyy too much data. Messenger is evil. But that's how we do family video chats. 🥲 Been debating deleting everyone but family.
btw I was poking around the site and noticed that a few days before Zippity's most recent login he did mention he was about to go on "another extended road trip." so presumably he will be back and hasn't in fact fallen off of the face of the earth.
