ALL READ - NEW BOARD RULE

[pothole]

So isn’t that same thing as checking against anasci test results? What would be the difference? I guess I’m not following. Personally when I test my own products I don’t feel the need to see what others may have gotten, because I know what I have.

For me the point is that it builds trust with that particular source. I know that if my results are on par with what the source is showing then said source is “trustworthy”. It also confirms that my batch is the same as what’s currently for sale.

I do this a few times a few year just as a gut check. More of a trust but verify approach. Consistency is what is key here. Any source can be good once.

The AniSci testing had no frequency or consistency. Any source can test well once. A great source consistently tests well

Right, but what I’m saying is what if your test c comes back at 255mg and the sources at 290. You do not have the same batch then, but does it matter? Consistency is proven by testing everything you have, not trusting a source to test it. Anasci testing did a lot of the same sources over and over again, hence my comment about trends.

But, we’re all free to feel differently. It’s our money we’re spending after all.

If you notice the guys here belly aching are few and fairly new. Mostly migrated over from Closed forums. The ones that have been here for years were already a part of all this.

Personally, I found one source that I trust, and I stick with that one source. I stopped trying new sources awhile ago, even though some of them may be cheaper. I'd rather pay the source I trust than try a new source and pay for testing.

I was going to post this earlier, but decided not to because I didn't want to down play my interest in keeping some level of testing going. I think the unbiased testing is a great asset for the board.

But just like what control mentioned and I think this goes for most long standing guys and vets, we all have our go to sponsors locked in and have for a long time now. I have multiple sponsors in my back pocket I know I can go to at any given time and I will be getting what I want, a solid quality product that has passed the test of time and many happy board members feel the same way.

With that being said, I do want to see the testing continue and not die.

Yup.

The dogs bark, but the caravan keeps moving.

I'm locking this now. The point of this thread was to announce the new rule.

Too many clueless dickheads are commenting with "authority" on what they have zero knowledge about and I am so annoyed I am one step from banning them. I don't like have interactions with wankers in any aspect of my life.

I'll decide later on what will happen with the AnaSci testing.
