So how did you find out this SS website?

[Tommen Baratheon]

Usenet newsgroup alt.suicide.holiday (ash). It's been dead for years, but I searched for it (Startpage.com - safety: off) and found this Wiki page:

alt.suicide.holiday - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

SaSu is mentioned in the article.

 

[lnlybnny]

Reddit. Someone was talking about how their relative ctb'd with SN... I ended up ''switching'' from Reddit to here lol

 

[aaakiee]

Searching about SH and scrolling down. I think? My memory is extremely poor.

 

[HarryCobean]

Probably reading about UK ISPs blocking the site. What better recommendation could there be?

 

[SoulWhisperer]

The YouTube video

Google

 

[yariousvamp]

After posting a suicidal rant on reddit, someone told me about this site lol

 

[opheliaoveragain]

Word of mouth right before covid got here.

 

[TangentiallyAlive]

A friend of mine showed it to me, citing it as "the most fucked up site," since it allows free speech about suicide methods and stuff. Looking back on it, he probably browses this site as well.

 

[DoneWithThisLife]

BBC. They didn't name the site but I just searched with a few different phrases. Glad I found this place.

Tantacrul video's

New York Times article, this one https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/09/us/where-the-despairing-log-on.html

i was looking up how to shoot myself with a gun and the megathread was the first google result

 

[divinemistress36]

From Reddit . I wish I would have found out about this site years ago back when N was available

Yeah he really vilified the website and the people on it. I joined the site before his video and I couldn't believe some of the things he was saying, as I knew they were very inaccurate portrayals

wikipedia, after reading a bbc article.

 

[WholeHereafter]

NYtimes article

 

[Lish]

Some random yt saying the site promotes suicide or smth, it big bad ect. I was just like "hell yeah". A site that allows these sort of talks, info sharing, such and such - probably what I thought

Exact same here.

I was so glad I found a place like this.

 

[PlannedforPeru]

Somehow was redirected to it through lostallhope website.

 

[SA1994EC]

I used to be a member of alt.suicide.methods.hideout. But that was gone a long time ago. So I Googled with some key terms. Google still showed this site back then when I did it.

 

[We Are Angels]

Through a non-mainstream search engine, since I was getting tired of google promoting anti-suicide search results

 

[Thisisnotaname]

A Google article mentioned here as the site becoming worrying popularity

Was this by any chance an ash attempt to flee from the trolls destroying the newsgroup?

Was this by any chance an ash attempt to flee from the trolls destroying the newsgroup?

From what I remember, there were several groups, some with moderators, others without moderators. Groups without moderators were filled with trolls. Groups with moderators still got trolls. I read about the hideout group in one of those with moderators. It was an invitation only group. I don't know exactly who created it. I asked one who had been quite active in a group to give me an invitation. He did. He were very active for quite a while after that, but later I learned he was gone. It was a very long time ago.
