Ah man, that's really unfortunate about the "kratom HQ". 
Shit is getting weird lately, honestly. All of these "internet drugs" that used to only be used by a really small circle of people have gone mainstream. Lots of people are jumping on the bandwagon because they're legal, and since they haven't come to know the drugs through the "traditional" avenues (eg. erowid, internet forums, etc), they are much less likely to have the knowledge necessary to use them responsibly.
Times are definitely changing, the RC scene even as recently as '07-'08 was utterly incomparable to today's market (and before that, even more so). It was mostly psychedelics and a few entactogens, the synthetic cannabinoids were somewhat of a novelty (you definitely couldn't find them in packets of laced herbs at your corner store), the meph craze had yet to hit, and the tragic BRDFLY misidentification incidents had yet to shock us into the realization that there is a seriously dark side to this hobby. It really was a totally different era.
Honestly, I've accepted the fact that all this probably won't continue much longer. Slowly but surely all the good drugs are disappearing from the internet, or at least getting more difficult to locate. For instance, in '09 you could still buy poppy pods in bulk online for cheap, good luck trying to find those nowadays. RC vendors that sell only psychedelics have become an extinct breed, as the greedy profit-driven screwheads descend on the scene like vultures circling a carcass.
LOL, at this point I'd just as soon avoid the hassle and stick to pot. :D
