Does Anyone Know What Happened to quallіgator?

I owe this guy a lot of thanks for that list.

Back in October of 2024, a reddit post pointed me toward the list, and that's how I came across his website.

Even though I was active on both his forum and this one, it didn't take long for me to see the problems that come with keeping a list.

I didn't stick around much on that forum because it felt cliquish and judgmental to me. (Others may have had a different experience.)

My first gray account was actually made on his forum, but I soon came to see that the whole list idea was problematic at best and clearly misleading.

This site has rules, but I know from personal experience how strongly it opposes censorship and how the culture here has let it grow.

Summary:

There is no magic list. A static list can't work given how this distribution model operates, and a menu reduces our ability to think critically about what we buy.

Without him, I never would have found this space, developed buying strategies, gained knowledge about the hobby, or spent so many hours reading and collaborating with others to sharpen my skills. He built something that looked like gold and it ultimately guided me to the real goldmine, which is this forum.
Yes — he was the one who introduced me to peptides on Reddit.
 
I appreciate the explanation. I enjoyed spending time there since it had a somewhat cozy feel, even if a few people came across as rather pedantic finger waggers. That didn't bother me. There's room for all kinds. I picked up a lot and came across links to plenty of useful information. So, thanks to the gator for his efforts.

Exactly. A vendor might carry an A+ rating on one list and an F on a different one — or even swing from A to F on that same list within a single day.

And because the people who put these lists together will never reveal whether vendors are paying to be included and/or to get their rating (to say nothing of those who flat-out deny it while lying), the safest approach IMHO is to treat every list as compromised and not worth trusting.
