With how the things are currently going in the world (wars, poverty, hunger and lack of proper healthcare) this number does not surprise me at all.

Yes

The ratio between online guests and members is genuinely kinda scaring me.

I'm assuming for the 168 members online / 9,720 guests a huge chunk of guests are just bots, besides lurkers that wanna stay anonymous. But it's kinda scaring me thinking about it, why would there be bots? are they collecting information on us studying us like zoo animals? what information would...

why are there more and more guests and about the same amount of users?

i know all the media reporting from new york times (2021) to kenneth law (2024) caused a huge surge in views on this site, but i think this scale of 200 users : 5k viewers is a bit too much? what does the viewing actually contribute to the site except trouble? do they get ads so servers can be...

Why are there so many guests? Are they bots?

Total: 1,327 (members: 204, guests: 1,123)

Just me, or is that a lotta "guests" here?

I seem to remember back in my early days, that number would be anywhere from less than, to maybe 1-2x the number of actual members. 2,600?! Christ, no matter how you slice it, that's worrying.

did you notice the number of guests?

is there anything special today?

Why does this site suddenly have so many guest visitors?

Hey. I wasn't here for a while and now I'm seeing an abnormal number of guests... If i remember it correctly, there weren't that many of them before. Does anyone know what is happening? Did the site get a new wave of attention due to some youtuber or something like that?

2500 guest to now 6000 plus guest ?

I feel really strange about that a 4000 jum. For any long term members is this normal or is this site be monitored more aggressive then ever now. 2500 was weird enough but 6000 plus and I haven’t seen any media coverage about this place.

sanctioned-suicide.net

Why is there much less members than guest users?

Every time I look at the online people on this site there always is a very small number of member users than guest. Like when am writing this, total online users is 1265 but only 157 of those are members. It can be assumed some of this guests are not even suicidal and have other agenda and some...

I was thinking about this too! I'd open up SaSu and see 1,000 guests or somewhere around that, then open at a later time and see 10,000 guests and my jaw would just drop. (Hello guests ^^)

I mean, the earth itself has 8 billion people now. Most are adults and young adults who have recognized the struggles in living in this sort of society. I don't think it's weird that we have this ratio?

it does surprise me quite a lot I didn't know people knew about this forum it's... very concerning I don't get it though is this like a time phase or many people were suicidal even before

hmm yeah you're right it's just feels so odd to me 11k is a huge number I never thought this forum will get much recognition tbh


The thing is, the world has always been a difficult place. In the past, there were wars, poverty, and hunger often much worse than what we see today. While many people seem ungrateful, I find it odd that we're seeing such a spike in depression and suicide rates due to world problems. Were people in the past just as depressed and suicidal?

p sure that the world has always had suicidal people. Especially in the past when mental health wasn't as recognized as today. People suffered in silence. We should be happy that SaSu exists for those seeking help to recover and those who want to vent (still not excusing those who look for methods and encourage others to ctb)

I like signature btw. Just a person spinning in water.

does this place even help I feel miserable each time I come here and read what some of users post here

she's cute isn't she her name is rakka

Rakka? Imma look her up. What is the anime about?

Also,
this has literally been an issue for me as a user for the longest time but I'm going to prove it to you all that this site has truly lost its direction.

Lumin, if you want to avoid discussions regarding suicide, you can deactivate it through your profile settings.



HOWEVER,
the problem with this is that, every time you open "Forums" for "New posts", you can still find suicide discussions.



That's all I can do to help you, really. If you're uncomfortable here, I think there may be other users who can recommend sites that specifically focus on recovery. SS is a bad place for people wanting to recover. I lost my ex here.

Well, I wouldn't say that it's "bad" but it's definitely not perfect. Yet, since it's people's lives on the line, this site being "not perfect" is "bad" to me.

It's about these cute creatures called Haibane who look like humans, but they have wings and halos. It follows their day-to-day lives it's a pretty neat anime, you should watch it

It's a suicide forum, man. Methods on one side, recovery on the other. People being miserable and sad doesn't help, and with the methods right there for everyone, it's like handing a plate of food to someone who is starving. I've always hated it here. The only decent thing is that I can talk about suicide without all the annoying interference. But it wasn't really about the discussions anyway I always knew how to hide those. I just don't belong. The only thing I've earned from this place is the knowledge of methods I can't even apply. I don't mind feeling sad when I read what people post here, it's just... it gets so exhausting. So repetitive. I don't know how to explain it

SS is a bad place for people wanting to recover. I lost my ex here.

I'm so sorry. What was it like when you found out about that site... knowing your ex used the methods from it? It must have been horrific. I really am so sorry

Thanks ♥ the recovery sites won't really help me but thanks for the suggestion

I always avoid talking about this place because I know I'll get attacked by everyone here for saying it. I'm not trying to act morally superior, but let's be real this site is awful, and nothing people do here is ethically right.
