How did you find this site?

Tantacrul

Gool ol' BBC back in 2022 or 23? the website was locked to members only at the time and I was super nervous so i just bookmarked the website for a later date as a "just in case" thing and eventually decided to join. They gave the acronym "ss" so i just looked up "ss suicide website" and I think it was the first result.

A while back I saw Tantacrul's video on this site but I didn't know the actual name of it. Some time later, I was looking up ways to CTB and then I found some thread on Quora or something and it mentioned this site, and I found the site. I mostly lurk though.
Sometimes I play Tantacrul's video in the background, with it being a bit ironic he's telling me to get off the site because it's a 'cult' or whatever while I'm scrolling around on this site.

The Tantacrul video. His heart was in the right place, but the video was just bizarre in a few ways.

Initially, the Tantacrul video, I didn't know a place like this existed, nor did I know the name. And I then promptly forgot about it. A couple of months later, after a fit of mania from Schoolwork and life-related stressors, I went looking for the name and found a Quora/Reddit post that told the actual name.
I went here to find safe, reliable ways to CBT, and to vent about my issues.

Looking back at the Tantacrul video, he definitely overplayed and exaggerated parts of the site, like any site. Sure, there are bad actors, but at the end of the day, a sanctuary for people who are suffering is needed, and to get rid of it would honestly cause more loneliness, and Reckless CBT

Reddit, of all places. I started getting into r/breakups a couple of months after she broke-up with me, then I found out about r/suicidewatch. I don't remember how the conversation went, but someone said something along the lines of "We're not THAT website where people openly talk about methods", I asked, was given a few hints, half an hour of Google later I found my way here. Funny thing is several people DMed me on Reddit asking about the website and I gave them the link so maybe they found it too.

Also a comment in r/suicidewatch in my case. Someone was asking about the feasibility of a method, and a comment hinted around the url for this website in such a way that I could piece it together.

Im in the UK (South Wales) and saw something on facebook. One of the press groups about the offcom issue. Didn't take much googling to find the forum name, lurked for a while and joined today

Was searching up suicide methods. Can not remember what specifically I searched but this site came up on the first page.

Also, I am laughing so hard at the number of people that keep finding this site thanks to mass media bitching about this forum existing. Streisand effect be real, yo.

years ago i read a book called my heart and other black holes and it allowed me to know that these sites existed. and then a couple years later i watched a documentary mentioning this site (not by name) and searched for it afterwards until i came across here

Combination of the BBC and Wikipedia for me

 

[inhabitinglots]

friend told me about it

 

[everosity]

was googling painless methods

 

[rabidbunny]

was researching the exit bag method and found the BBC article. im honestly surprised i didnt find it sooner because ive been searching suicide related things for years.

It does come up in Google searches if you're specific enough. I found it accidentally the first time a few months ago, can't remember how... but once I knew it existed, searching by name works if you forget to bookmark the link.

I'm not really sure, tbh. I just remember stumbling upon the acronym CTB in the fall of 2023, and wondering what that meant… somehow, I had found my way here.
