If this forum shut down permanently right now, where would you go?

[Un-]

I don't like making threads because of the anxiety that comes with it, but.. This has been bugging me a lot. I'm paralysed thinking about it. I don't enjoy anything. I don't relate to people.. Even here.. But at least everyone here thinks similarly about stuff. I sometimes look at reddit, and it's just.. Vile. Every social media platform is like that. I don't know where I'd go if this place shut down forever. There's no where for me to go. Hell, even in my real life.. I'm alone. I have no one to spend my time with. I think I'd probably try find a similar place to this one. If I can't do that, I'd hang myself. I refuse to live in darkness.

Where would I go?

 

[FuneralCry]

This forum does not offer me any relief or anything, nothing really does apart from the thought of dying. I would not miss it, to be honest. It is just passing time and it is pointless. Even with all the suicide information ctb is still very difficult for me. No matter what, there is nothing here for me in this world and there never will be.

To me it is just wrong that suicide websites have to exist and we cannot all just get euthanasia. No one should have to research suicide on the internet. I think at this point I'm tired of thinking about suicide and having to endure this life, when instead I could be peacefully not existing, but yet suicide is just so hard for me. Such a cruel unfair world where people deny us ways to exit.

I can put two and two together to get the context of your post, lol. But who's that guy and what's he drinking? Feel like I've missed something from memeland there. Or is it just a case of using pictures to illustrate the act of drinking (fill in blank) for our novel purposes?

It's a salty drink!
Well. He's drinking straight salt.

Ah okay. The use of the smirfs was a very apt ender lol. I'm cautious of gallows humour when it comes to this place as it can appear callously flippant but I must say, Well played!

Good one. Pretty self-explanatory. Same here. I don't even care who it is in the picture, for all I care it could be stick figures at this point...

 

[Smart No More]

Regarding OP's question, I'm not sure what I'd do or where I'd go without this forum. I have a love hate relationship with it but it's definitely a place of solace and catharsis and without it I'd most definitely be lost for a good while during the adjustment period.

I think what passes for callously flippant outside of here isn't the same as what is considered flippant here. Here, we know that this isn't actually flippant, it's pretty real. An outsider would feel uncomfortable seeing this for sure.

Agreed... use of smurfs was brilliant...!

Yeah. I wasn't picking fault, if that's how it came across. I was just seeking to find out if I missed something. It could be someone relevant to the forums subject matter for all I know, hence thw questions.

I know. I'm super irritable. So much so all the details of life are irrelevant for me and I guess I overly expressed that in a moment of frustration. There was nothing wrong with what you wrote.

It's someone drinking salt. Then it shows a smurf (blue) laying in the bed who won't wake up. Sorry. I shouldn't have posted that it's not very funny especially to people who have lost a loved one. The salt one has been my favorite GIF since joining SaSu. I know it was wrong of me to share it I'm sorry if I offended anyone. It's the reality of what is and will happen whether the forum gets shut down or not.

 

[Cathy Ames]

That's a good question. Hopefully if any such thing were to happen or appear likely, then people would devise alternatives. I'm not sure what they would be (as I don't do all of the things, myself), but I'd guess that there is a means/method out there somewhere.

 

[lights_are_on]

I'd go back on eating disorder tw.tter and wouldn't feel a difference. Everyone wants to kill themselves, users are dying every week, goodbye threads, hospitalised threads, I didn't die threads. Just a lot more kpop. In all seriousness I'd miss this place,

 

[Cathy Ames]

There is no way that your gifs are any more offensive than spelling it out in words. And spelling it out in words in NOT OFFENSIVE in this place, a suicide forum. I think that was A+ content, myself, @Shu .

Also, when you hover the cursor over the gifs it describes them. The middle one is "Salty Dog Death." LOL. One of the other gifs seems to be labeled with the name of the film it came from.

Edit: Nope. It doesn't say where the gif came from originally. I was mistaken.

Wait, no, don't apologise. (certainly not on my behalf anyway) I said, I get it. And I said "well played". I was just trying to understand the particulars. Mainly if the salt drinking guy was someone relevant to the forum. I was wondering if it was something I'd previously missed. Like a documented event type thing. Sorry foe the confusion and making you explain yourself. That wasn't my intent at all. I was purely asking out of a fear of missing out. Commonly referred to as FOMO lol.

 

[RainAndSadness]

My reaction to claims that this forum will soon be taken down:



Don't worry, that's all I have to say.

 

[Life_and_Death]

id feel bad about all my posts being gone. my thoughts, opinions, feelings, just gone. i dont go back and read them but theyre there

 

[MountainMonkey]

This forum is temporary relief for me. Without it I would feel more alien

Why are you even apologising? I use gifs from time to time to illustrate how I feel. Anyway, to answer to OP's question, I wouldn't have an effective way to communicate to like minded people anymore. I would have and would, end it all the sooner.

 

[tilsleepcomes]

This is the only place I can communicate my thoughts and feelings openly and honestly without the cops showing up to commit me.

When I ODed sampling my batch to CTB, I couldn't tell anyone but you people what had really happened.

Just having a witness to my feelings to validate me here has been a huge help. There is some catharsis for me here. I don't know where I could turn without this place.

Yes. Even more alien than I already do.

I know if I entered this sites url one day and it told me it was no longer accessible, Id be dumbfounded for a couple seconds, then I guess just move on. Archive.org would be the next stop, just hope it's backed up as recent as possible. Course all the good info is probably 'archive material' - sticky threads, not really all the recent posts.
_______________
I edited my original post once I thought about my quoted persons posts some more -i guess the site providing this service(forum) would lose any usefulness once you've gleaned all the info you'd need, so if it did get demolished, it's no major loss as you've already gained the knowledge.

 

[Euthanza]

Go to suicide forums that don't allow suicide is definitely a no go, what an oxymoron lol. I'll throw up and they will not like me.
I guess I have no where to go for the same frequency of honest information as SS; I remember information is knowledge, if they restrict you from the real and practical knowledge, guess what they sell; Have they got to the information technology era lmao. I will just end up by lonely suicide, without goodbye threads without acknowledgement of the real story behind the scene.

 

[Doombox]

What the journalists eagerly revealing this board to the world don't recognize is the power of a community that validates its members' feelings.

 

[KQuotientW]

I'd keep reading news articles about "accidental" deaths to get pointers on the best method for me to CTB. I'd also keep reading science and medical journals about "accidental" deaths for the same reason. There are books too.

A friend CTB when I was younger and before the internet, though, we were into bbsing (modem thing, pre internet). My, now, ex and his brother bullied him until he did, after I'd broken up with said ex. If people make up their minds to CTB, they'll find a way whether this forum exists or not.

I'm not minimising parents who've lost children. There are other reasons why people want to CTB, though. I'm 49 and have a degenerative disability. I don't want to suffer. Sure, I might survive another 10 - 20 years, but it will be shit and with less ability to do things, and I already have chronic pain. I've made up my mind.

Is this site going to be shut down soon? Does someone know something they're not telling anyone?

I think OP was just posting a hypothetical

I hope so, at least for about a year, and I know that's a selfish sentiment.
