another site with plenty of pages to explore / read

DeathNET - 1999

this site also has a memorial page / digital graveyard
in order to explore the site I had to use the lowband version
also there's a section where videos may have been at one point or a video stream ? I doubt there any any archives but also I haven't checked

Ashspace - 2010
a site that has links to archived ash sites - 1993

They have been a helpful distraction to me as well I can remember the nights where I forgot to blink and my eyes got dry due to how shocking some of the excerpts on the CoE were for example the instructions on how to cook a person

not sure why that was on the site although one of the four pillars were cannibalism

but my favourite to explore were the archived blogs and personal sites/pages of the members of Ash who are no longer here as some of their final posts and diary entries were very relatable and I highly recommend reading them although I've only read some of one of them

There's a paper I was reading the other day titled "Suicide and the Internet: Changes in the accessibility of suicide-related information between 2007 and 2014" which talked about sites which were found to have resources or at least mentioned suicide in some way between 2007 and 2014. I haven't checked many of the sites in the paper through the wayback machine since I don't have the time but this could be a good source. I'd link it but I don't think I can.

I think I saw that title a few times while looking for these sites and other similar places on the Internet but I never clicked on it or either there was a wiki page with a similar title / research

if I happen to come across it or find it again I will give it a skim or a complete read

which also reminds me that I need to do more research on a site I forgot to add called Lost All Hope

I don't think there's many archives for that but I wonder what the page used to be like as there was/is a forum and chat room mentioned there that I assume is gone if I remember correctly from the last time I browsed the current version of the site

I actually went on that site frequently before it got taken down (I didn't know about this place back then) it was a site dedicated to documenting different methods. They had articles on most efficient methods (paper is probably public but I found it there) and tutorials on how to go about setting things up for each of them. The site was slowly being taken down so when I used it part of it wasn't available and had some broken links and you'd have to play around with the url to get to different parts of the site and I think by the time I used it the forum wasn't there anymore.

update: I found the paper you're talking about but unfortunately the full paper isn't publicly available

unless you request it directly from the author/one of the authors on the site ResearchGate

but the summary and conclusion is available

I also found a similar article/magazine article from 2008 which mentions a site that I have listed here already

along with a site I browsed while research sites for this list called Satan Service I didn't really find anything there so I guess I will have to read the magazine article I found and browse the site again
(edit: the only thing so far that I've found that I totally forgot about which is why it is probably mentioned is because it does mention/have links to CoE/Church of Euthanasia)

the full text for this magazine article is publically available on ResearchGate so I will link it here

update:
archived websites related to the topic of self harm/self injury

I searched for these on the Wayback Machine since in modern times on the internet I don't really see any spaces or communities for those who self harm or know of any (excluding one website and places such as Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, and Flickr)

so I wondered if there were any places for those who struggled with self harm to go to in the past

so here's what I've found so far from different/various search inquires/terms

I have yet to read or explore these so I wasn't able to type up any short summaries or descriptions
also these seem pretty obscure so I would assume it would be difficult to do so or they would turn out or read as extremely vague

CONTENT WARNING FOR ANY POTENTIAL IMAGES OF SELF INFLICTED INJURIES

RuinYourLife.com : Examining the Art of Self-Destruction - 2002

Self-Injury : A Struggle - 2000

The Self Injury Anthology Project - 2003

I heard that in the past this forum used to have some threads related to both suicide and self harm
started exploring it and browsing it today but haven't found anything yet most likely because those posts, cults, and threads weren't archived or saved I assume

I think I may have to watch video essays about this sites history to get any information along with reading former users memories of the site around the internet
I think it will be interesting and a bit complex since its subcultures upon subcultures especially subcultures that tend to struggle with mental health and self harm in general (or because of stereotypes)

an update about archived content from alt.suicide.holiday

you can now view old newsgroup posts on Usenet Archives

go to usenetarchives.com

click the switch to the group function

type in alt.suicide.holiday

and archived posts should appear (these can be sorted by year and reply count as well)

edit:
the site has a light layout with a skinny Courier New like font for all posts so it may strain the eyes a bit or will be hard to read

a German forum

I only know a very miniscule amount of German/ none at all

will probably explore this in the future
