Why Are There So Many Visitors Right Now???

[AQUA]

In my whole time being here, the forum has never had this many visitors all at once. Something feels off :/

 

[Doombox]

Sometimes I leave the tab open.
Edit: Ooooh all the guests. I never noticed that before.

 

[FuneralCry]

Why does this even matter. It is just numbers and words. All life is meaningless after all. No wonder there are so many people viewing a site about suicide as we live in a world with unlimited potential for suffering after all.

It matters because this site helps lots of vulnerable people feel connected and the last thing we need is for it to get ddosed/dosed

There's been a lot of new people coming in recently, I wanna believe a lot of them are debating on joining beforehand.

Then there's that other part of me that feels like a lab rat being looked over. I can imagine there's so many people looking that this place to study all of us.

And none of us ever signed a consent form

I'm still using that SS Light 2019 theme that doesn't let me see users, so I always forget that they even exist or can access this site.

Maybe some of them are banned or old users who left and want to check what's going on. Or everyone wants to ctb at the same time when you look at the current world.

The visitors are probably just suicidal people looking for methods. At least with this site, people are less likely to attempt risky methods and get damage from failing.

Well it's possible that maybe anti-SS groups have suddenly gained a lot of recruits and are planning some sort of takedown or attack, thankfully this is pretty unlikely. Maybe some other news article came out recently or something.

The more optimistic, or rather, more practical reason might just be that current events (I've actually seen a lot of people say that the leaked anti-abortion decision from the US Supreme Court is understandably making them consider suicide) are just pushing more people to want to find a way out although I guess the fact that this is the positive take is even more sad.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Yay, my cloak of invisibility is working.

It's been worse before:

Don't know what it is this time tho.

The top story on cnn right now is about suicides on the uss george washington, maybe that has something to do with it.

More than 200 sailors moved off aircraft carrier after multiple suicides | CNN Politics

More than 200 sailors have moved off the USS George Washington aircraft carrier after multiple deaths by suicide among the crew, including three in less than one week in April, according to the Navy.

www.cnn.com

The paranoia in me worries that if those sailors who committed suicide were all members here then that could lead to some problems for us all down the line.

But part of me also wonders what method they used and how they were able to carry it out.

WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! HOLD EVERYTHING! *Whispers* Don't blow my cover, those are my alternative accounts.

 

[CrossroadsCurious]

It's just various government agencies spying on us. Nothing to stress over. Same old same old...

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

I still don't understand why the forum is public... You should only be able to access it by creating an account for obvious reasons.

 

[LongtimeLoser]

Most of the time when I'm on here I'm not logged on.

 

[Weebster]

They're voyeurs here to get off to our suffering.

 

[wait.what]

There's an unusually large number of new "goodbye" threads too. Probably some of it does have to do with political issues in the U.S.

However, I've discovered that since lockdown started, everyone lives the exact same lives as their neighbors, so there is always a huge crush of people all trying to accomplish the same goal, and lt

I don't see how politics in the US has anything to do with being suicidal. I remember celebrities saying they would move to Canada if Donald Trump was elected president. This has the same vibes. NO ONE CARES

In this case the issue is abortion, and people actually care about that. I can't see why that would drive up suicide attempts worldwide, but the U.S. does have like 3.8 million people, the vast majority of which could get their hands on a firearm if they really wanted. A little bit of suicidality in the U.S. goes a long way.

 

[LongtimeLoser]

So folks may need to drive to a nearby state where abortion is legal. Big deal. Abortion clinics are miles and miles apart today anyways. Lots of people have to drive 30 minutes to a couple of hours away to kill their young right now.

Couples could always use a wire hanger like our grandparents had to do when they were young and not responsible. People today are so soft.

 

[Slimetae]

[CrossroadsCurious]

Today's numbers cause me concern. Usually the online member & guest counts are roughly equal. This is almost 3x guest to member ratio. Wtf?!?!?

There are a lot of genuine lurkers. Most users on here lurked for a while before joining.

 

[whatevs]

They're here for me, obviously. I'm sorry that my followers broke into the forum. It's tough being so influential and wanted.

Indeed, can confirm.

 

[Sakura94]

Most sites have double lurkers than active members.
Active users are still rare even on twitter you find the same old people in every debate.
