We have at this moment 733 visitors of this forum. 232 members and 501 guests. The guests outnumber us (the members) quite often. In other threads we have already talked about them. There was an interesting theory. People with a big career or even celebrities don't join and keep guests because they fear of getting doxxed or identified and then their career would be over. This was an interesting theory. I have not thought about it before. It might be true.
There will be different types of lurkers. People who are just curious about suicidal people (Maybe some of them are bored with their normie lives and want to feel better and compare their life with ours.) This reminds me of this subreddit watchpeopledie. But there are also other people. Some might be journalists who do research for their next story about this allegedly "death cult". Some are scientists who study the behavior of suicidal people. I think this is only a small minority but I am convinced they exist. I have read science articles about suicide forums and yes this is what they do. Of course mostly without consense. Though their articles are way more balanced than the articles of the media. So guys if you ask me you can go on with your job.
The vast majority will be suicidal people who are either depressed or have other bad health conditions. Some might join us. Others won't maybe because of all the trouble the website is often in. Some might be scared to get in contact with us. It is a long time ago when I was a lurker. I barely can remember. I was not sure how I shall think about this abbreviation ctb. I was hesistant to use it. Now I have elaborated on why I and other people use euphemisms for commiting suicide but this belongs to another thread. I changed my mind on it.
Maybe there are also people who find interest in morbid topics and feel at home when they watch us. There is probably a small minority who feels pleasure when they see people suffer. Some might even get sexually attracted to that stuff. Feels kind of weird to think about that.
I almost forgot the pro-lifers who want to shut this forum down. There are many of them. We could also differntiate between them. They are quite heterogeneous. I also have elaborated on them in other threads.
Not sure what I want to tell them. It is quite complicated because these are very different groups. Normally they might read my stuff or the stuff of other users. But for us they remain a secret. I could well imagine it is like watching a comedy or a tragedy however you wanna put it.
Have I forgot a group? Probably so. And if the lurker who reads this feels excluded I feel sorry for him/her. But only if he has good intentions.
