How did you first hear about and/or find your way to this site?

Its hilarious to me that so many of us found this site from a video warning about the dangers of it

Goes to show how Tantacul completely contradicted himself

 

[LoveForMetal]

I wached Tantacul's video, but I couldn't find the site, because he purposefully not mentioned the name. After serching for CTB methodes online I found this site. I needed a while to realise, that this is the website he was talking about.

I had just installed Tor on my computer and to test it I started to look up the thing that is on my mind the most, suicide. it felt like home immediately. it was around the same time the new york times released their article and everyone was talking ab it here.

i think i was googling places to vent.

 

[Chemical Animal]

Searching "suicide" on twitter and seeing a dude's tweet about how people should be able to talk about their suicidal ideations without being hospitalized or something (it was a year ago, I don't remember the exact words and I can't find the tweet), and in the replies someone mentioned this site and I ended up here out of pure curiosity

Before SaSu I used to lurk on r/suicidewatch

 

[maddog58]

I was trying to find suicide methods online when I came across a news article talking about this site

 

[bridgegirl]

I obsessively watched The Bridge documentary and wanted to look up something about Gene Sprague. I searched it and stumbled across this site. I'm so relieved to be able to get factual, objective information, because real answers about suicide (for me, it'd be jumping) are incredibly hard to find.

That sub is okay, but still gets a lot of "don't do it!" banalities. Also there's so many posts that a lot of posts don't even get responded to.

Google, I guess. I have ostracised myself from other communities, in the interest of CTB. But I am a wee one with no self control. So I thought maybe a community can help me understand if it's a lack of desire or a lack of discipline.

 

[silligant]

The site was mentioned on Wikipedia's Did You Know? page on August 17th, regarding the NYT reporting on it.

 

[nux_walpurgis]

I copy pasted on the search bar an address from a site I wanted to buy drugs from and it showed me an old forum from this site discussing scam drug- selling sites.

 

[GorgeousGuillotine]

I genuinely find it incredible how tantcruls actions had the opposite effect he supposedly wanted. I watched that entire video feeling like it was a bad faith argument

 

[Cloud Busting]

I was searching for methods and stumbled upon the vice article.

they didn't name it so I searched for "suicide discussion forum" and this was one of the first things to pop up. Was pretty easy to put two and two together.

Talking about this forum only increases interest in it. When are detractors going to realize that?

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I found out about this place because of Tantacrul's video. I was skeptical of his portrayal of the site so I decided to find it myself and lurk around for a bit, which wasn't that hard considering his horrible job at covering it up. Looks like I was right to be skeptical since his portrayal of this site wasn't accurate.

tantacul's video. it's sort of funny as that was not how he probably wanted to spread awareness of this issue. The same goes to me finding ed forums through youtube. it's nice to find a safe community but I can see from an outside perspective how fucked it is.

 

[LeoSS]

I actually don't remember, just that I was searching for end of life topics and one sent me here. Probably Duck-Duck in a private window.

any publicity is good publicity

BBC put out a really crappy article this morning. I didn't think it was even-handed so it didn't take me long to find my way here. I then watched the Tantacrul video and had very mixed feelings on it.

How can there be an open, fair debate on the issue when so many people are terrified of looking at it in more than one way, often with such a lack of respect?

 

[eirman]

I heard about this forum on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback program.
PODCAST: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001rpvz

They were bemoaning the fact that this website could not be taken down.

They did not give the name of this forum so it took 7 minutes of detective work to track it down.

 

[deadbody]

Tantacul's video. And I am grateful to him for this, no matter how strange it may sound.
