Will the site ever close? Should I worry?
Our website does not encourage suicide, and all information provided is for educational purposes only. We only offer a place to discuss the topic of suicide; in other words, we provide a free speech platform for those that can't speak about suicide anywhere else. Our servers are offshore, and we have taken precautions to avoid issues that could arise. Regardless, there might be days where the forum is in the public eye; when those days come, don't panic. Suicide is a taboo topic, and thus, we must not succumb to any paranoia or fear. Help us keep the peace during these times by calming other users and not creating panic by making threads about this. Downtime may rarely happen due to maintenance, upgrades, or feature changes, if there's anything that you should know, we'll make a thread about it and pin it.
