To get in with those big companies you have to be journaling their gear ao you can get a lil following and they will notice whos killing it. From what ive heard rhose companies reps will usually reach out personally because they have so many requests! It also helps to journal where they happen to be lurking. Pretty sure Mephisto hasnt been active here for a while…
Yeah of course but when I joined site stan from meph along with others were pretty active on here, and there were a good amount of people testing that kind of gear which is why I signed up. But it's all good I got a shoebox full of seeds I need to run through. Had better luck on reddit getting noticed honestly with as much as i hate reddit. Daz actually reposted one of my pictures from there of starfox and mothman and some random seed bank actually used that photo as the main photo to sell the seed which was pretty cool they used my photo over the stock photo originally posted by the breeder. I got a 4 year old i got to chase around man I don't have time to chase grown men around trying to get noticed so I can score some free seeds.

Woah.
WOAAAAAAH.
Is there a young Joey Lawrence in the room? Why yes there is.
Hey for starters man; what's the issue here? How is this a pissing match? If you complete a documented grow and do a review, you qualify for the badge if it's a breeder badge. That's it. There's no competition at all with this, it's proof you did something. Like a "I Voted Sticker." Zero pee-pee involved.
As far as CC goes and the breeders/vendors on the site; let's talk about a pink elephant in the room. We did lose some steam after the domain change, no one is being bashful or pussy footing around with that statement. Ryan, the person that owned the .net domain, was threatening to try to sell the entire forum to the highest bidder, regardless of who it was, because he's a convicted felon in Canada and a broke bitch.
Then covid. Which changed everything for everyone.
We're working on increasing our traffic, we're steadily seeing more and more pages being logged by Google analytics (which is great for finding us,) and we're actively reaching out to new companies to see who wants to be part of this community. Right now we have a representative from Herbies that just joined (that I'm in PM's with,) and there's a developer of a highly popular phone app that simulates a PAR sensor that we're working on bringing aboard.
Also, these breeders and companies are offering up product for FREE, to growers like you that they've never met, and are taking OUR good word on that you guys are worth a shit. AFN does not cater to entitlement. We also have an active thread going on where we've been asking how we can improve on things with the testing, how it works, etc. I recommend you redirect some of this energy to that.
Let's rewind and all have a smoke! There is no issue I'm just talking here, and through "text" it may come off as blunt or sour or whatever but I'm gravy baby no hard feelings here. Just simply saying CC is not what I thought it was going to be and has died down the past 3 years of being on this site. That's not anything more than a fact, nothing wrong with it just not my cup of tea. I got way bigger things going on in life than worrying about free seeds is all I'm saying!Woah.
WOAAAAAAH.

Edit: and I said it was a pissing match cause what does it even matter what badge people have or not, peoples journals/reviews will speak for themselves. The original comment from me was just wondering why no one else had badges especially people like @N/A-Greengo who are killing it with the meph testers.
