Next round of testing at anaboliclab.com

[Millard]

How is it decided what labs and products get tested?
Do members send in product or does the actual site pick or go by vote?
Just curious. I love it tho have to keep these sources honest and what better way than running tests on their products.
How do you donate to this like a fund me page or what.
Sorry for all the questions. New over here at meso.
Really really like this tho.

Damm bitcoin lol.
Never used it before but it seems to be the new way and more and more people using it. I am going to look into it tho its about time I made the leap to the coin my man.

Bitcoin is great for AnabolicLab. It is the preferred payment option.

Anaboliclab is the perfect way to practice sending bitcoin in my opinion.

I agree. We're always happy to help anyone who wants to try it out.

Maybe a guide to get people started with bitcoin somewhere on the site? Seems like a lot of people are trying to get started with it and you're getting tons of visits per month. Just a rough idea that might generate some additional income for the program.

Testing Canadian UGLs is an objective for AnabolicLab. Unfortunately, we do not have a time frame.

See this is where I find it hard to donate without this commitment. Being in Canada, our customs are a bit strict and the successful shipping rate is lower than the US. So ordering from NAPS isn't really an option as they do not offer a reship to Canada. I did fuck up without reading the full Pharmacom's policy of no reship (Crossing my fingers i get lucky with this) but this was not Darius. So some of my options are limited.

Now I'm still new here and haven't done all my research into Anaboliclab testing and places to order from in Canada, so my statement might be a bit uneducated I will admit on the products tested vs places to order from in Canada.

As soon as there is this commitment I definitely will donate, or if I do get some of my options researched and i'm wrong with my statement.
But definitely something i'd like to see, as well as other people in my situation I would imagine.

I can understand your stance myself. I wanted to see a certain lab tested previously and it wasn't included unfortunately. But I didn't wait for that lab to be tested before I donated and my reasoning is that the program needs donations to make anything happen. The program is not unlike a business, it needs cashflow to function.

If Millard says that the program is committed to testing Canadian labs then I would fully expect to see one in the not too distant future. Just need donations to keep it going into said future. Food for thought.

@Millard Baker is the man to ask. I've made several donations mostly anonymously but I have mixed feelings about the tag.

I too feel this way towards the tag and am debating inside myself with it. I'm starting to think of it as good advertisement for the program tho. Who knows, as of now I'll continue on as so and decide later [emoji848]

 

[Steve84]

Ya I totally understand the point. Location does make it tricky though...
If my order makes it through, and I have some accessibility to a couple options of brands being tested it makes a completely different argument.

Again still new here and haven't done all the research yet....
But if I could encourage just 1 test of a Canadian lab, just 1 it would show me that commitment.
I'd even be willing to make a larger than normal donation to get just 1 test through of the product/brand I desired (lol) of a Canadian lab.

I guess just research yet... but I hope to be a contributor in the near future. Just saying the pain of a Canadian.
But I also recognize this is a dominated US board as well.

 

[Do3Gs]

I also have mixed feelings towards the posting of who has donated what all over the board. I agree with advertising for donations but posting who donates what seems somewhat intrusive and possibly counterproductive. Plus it is like advertising for a UGLs when it is all over the forum how they made substantial donations to the program and could even cause further questions of shady dealings inside the program.

I completely understand. And I hope AnabolicLab continues to grow so that it can expand its testing to include region-specific UGLs on a regular basis.

Given its limited funding, AnabolicLab tends to focus on the brands that have the most relevance to the most people. For example, testing a brand that has 100,000 users will have a greater impact than testing a brand that only has 1,000 users. This doesn't necessarily mean AnabolicLab won't test smaller brands but it is an important consideration during the early stages of the program.

As far as a substantial donation for a desired UGL you can always send the product off for testing yourself for peace of mind and helping out the community. Not saying you shouldn't donate as I believe it's beneficial to everyone just saying the testing is always available for you to do.

I also think most of the tests aren't necessarily because of US dominated board but are actually international I could be wrong tho.

With my first donation I ask for the tag not for recognition but in hope that it brings awareness to other members about anaboliclab.com and the good that it does. Also at the time I donated had never use any of the sources being tested. I think wether people donate for recognition or because they want to help a good cause is all positive to keep testing going

See to send the product in for testing myself is a huge investment.
250 US is 325 CAD
Then the cost of the product, maybe this isn't bad if you just leave 1-2 ML of the vial but if it has to be unopened, you are also looking at like another 85-100 for the good stuff
So without shipping just for yourself it's an investment of like 450 CAD.
That's steep for board contribution...maybe if Oil and Stocks turns around and I can cash out but until then.

As for International yes the brands are but ordering into Canada is a higher risk. The connections i've looked at offer no reship. That SUCKS!

And I can understand the point about testing products that affect a larger amount of users. However on this board Newport, Mission and Pareto do have a pretty decent presence. It would be nice to see them contribute or put some assistance into the testing of their products.

But ya...just my opinion I thought i'd share.
And I don't want to be criticized because I may have not researched all my options. Just to be clear.

I understand these concerns. MESO runs the risks of creating two classes of members - those who donate and those who do not. This is not the intent and I would strongly discourage any discriminatory treatment and/or pressure.

Hopefully, the greater awareness given to AnabolicLab will make the use of the tags worthwhile.

I also have mixed feelings towards the posting of who has donated what all over the board. I agree with advertising for donations but posting who donates what seems somewhat intrusive and possibly counterproductive. Plus it is like advertising for a UGLs when it is all over the forum how they made substantial donations to the program and could even cause further questions of shady dealings inside the program.

I believe the best approach for AnabolicLab is transparency and full disclosure. There should be no attempt to hide or obscure the source of funding. Every donation, donation date and amount is listed. Individual donors always have the option of remaining anonymous but if any UGLs are making donations, everyone should know about it.

That is definitely one positive way to view it. Either way the project is being funded and that's what matters!

I have seen the tags brought up many times by new members so that means they are catching people's attention. I'm sure if they are as curious as I am about little stuff like that they start searching for what it is and hopefully bringing in more donations.

I totally agree with the full disclosure of Anabolic Lab and honestly regardless there will always be talk of underhand activities in any type of "quality control" programs. Seeing the UGLs that stand behind the program, and in the same aspect, their product is also good for the community.

 

[rpbb]

even if your source isn't tested, I believe the fact that sources knowing that they could possibly be tested, plus having to compete with sources that have passed testing, helps to keep them on their toes.

I agree with advertising for donations but posting who donates what seems somewhat intrusive and possibly counterproductive. Plus it is like advertising for a UGLs when it is all over the forum how they made substantial donations to the program and could even cause further questions of shady dealings inside the program.

I can understand that perspective, but I see it from the others half of the glass. I think any UGL that donates is showing they are not afraid of being anonymously selected and tested and it at least for me gives me a little more trust that they are not selective scammers.

I pretty much am the one that called out the active UGL's here because May was looking like it wouldn't reach it's funding needs and as it turned out, two labs stepped up and killed it. Now that funding is for June I figured Meso still has at least a half of dozen active UGL's here that could also donate and they could help get June off and running with a bang. In a perfect world we the consumers would fund each month, but that's just not happening at this point, so I have been trying to get the UGL's to donate as well. if @Millard Baker is not okay with this, I will stop for sure.

Lastly, I have made the meme's to help promote AL and make it a little fun at the same time and am very much open to new meme suggestions (lol).

 

[Sampei]

we Should force any source that sell UGL to donate to anaboliclab.

Meso is not a source board, but still many sources do sell here, I'm ok with that but if they wanna stay they have to fucking fund AL.
If they don't they must be bashed to death until they get the fuck out.

that's my opinion on the matter.

Pharmacomstore, pharmacomlab, Geneza alone can give 1k dollars each everytime it's needed, we need to force more sources to donate.
for a good source 1k dollars IS NOTHING. they earn shit load of money, stuff like 250k a month big sources like Naps I believe can do almost 1mil a month.

what's 1k? 2k?
a drop in the ocean for them but it's a diamond for us


And I know this isn't a moderated forum but I would at least moderate the underground part of the forum. What does it mean?
You are a source, you post there, you don't donate to the AL project, your thread get deleted and you get banned. period.

you do donate? Ok, we appreciate the donation but you will still be accountable like all the other sources, so if you fuck up in anyway we will still rape your ass, doesn't matter how much you have donated.

I don't want it to be like PM, you donate, you get a free of jail of everyshit you do.
No, more like: you want visibility using the underground of Meso (that has shit load of users), ok if you want that visibility you need to pay for it and that means you need to donate to a project that will help thousand of ppl.
