Be sure to read the discussion page. Softpedia's reputation is spotty,
at best.

This was just funny. I googled "softalizer.com" and softalizer.com was
the 16th entry down the page.

And again, I can't find anything that makes me thing I would consider it
a trusted source.

From the website:

Softalizer.com Top Programs
4) Tokyo Beauties Screensaver 1.0
6) Super Granny Winter Wonderland 1.0
8) StripShow Screensaver 1.7

Somehow, I'm not filled with confidence.

Results 51 - 69 of about 92 for freesharewarecenter
Results 151 - 162 of about 211 for freesharewarecenter.com

I can't find much about this page. No reviews. No ratings.

Contrast that with, say, filehippo:

Results 451 - 464 of about 281,000 for filehippo
Results 1 - 50 of about 235,000 for filehippo.com

or download.com

I panned this one too, the last time I reviewed the reviews of
BugHunter.

As near as I can recall, it's another essentially not so great site.
Perhaps you can google up something to defend it.

Let me know when you get an award worth having.

This is where you start the hysterical laughter, isn't it.

Reliable individuals?
