He mentioned wanting to leave around May/June.

He mentioned wanting to leave around May/June.

Yeah he was still online a bit ago so don't understand the crossed out name.

He probably can still PM people, just not post on the forum. You could try asking him.

 

[fisil]

@Jc40 is gone too he mad a good bye post.

 

[Retched]

I wonder too.

I haven't been able to contact her. She went silent.

 

[Halo13]

Anyone hear from @Seaghost lately?

 

[Alchemist]

Anyone hear from @Seaghost lately?

Not heard, but reacted to one of my posts last night.

 

[Johnnythefox]

Was @Taylor a self-ban?

Kind of odd that he should disappear after this.
Post

And he doesn't show up in the user search, and unable to view his profile as of five minutes ago, either he's blocked me or.....

 

[stellabelle]

Haven't heard from @MsM3talGamer in a very long time.

I haven't been able to contact her. She went silent.

Hasn't been on discord either.

That's normal with banned people, not sure what happened, but I see him lurking around.

I was still able to view his profile before my post though.

I remember her saying that she was leaving to prepare for her ctb.

Okay, thanks. Saw last activity was Sunday and had been in the hospital for an unsuccessful attempt. Hope all's well.

He was banned for being a creep.

Correct. She stuck around for a little while on discord and eventually didn't return.

Last heard from 3/14/19

Usually you can still search for banned people's content though, can't you? I can't search for him.

I wish I knew what happened to @EvilAngelGoddess. She was in such distress and then disappeared.

 

[lululoo]

Did @ShadowOfTheDay get banned or ask to be banned? A lot of disappearances lately... :(

 

[color_me_gone]

A lot of disappearances lately... :(

Agree, so sad!

 

[About_to_Go]

Has anyone been talking to @IronTusk since he got banned?

 

[Alchemist]

I see that ShadowOfTheDay was banned. Did he do anything wrong or did he ctb?

 

[Jen Erik]

Now that people's accounts are closed when they post a goodbye thread, it would be nice to know which of the following reasons caused the ban:

1. because they posted a goodbye thread
2. because they requested it
3. bad behavior

Since many people are close on this site, it is like being ghosted when we don't know.

Honestly, #2 seems quite privacy invasive, unless the user has given permission to share that information.

If users are indeed close, in a mutual way, then #2 will happen organically, without intervention from admins and mods. It should be a user's prerogative if they'd like to leave here without fanfare.

What happened to @Taylor?

 

[Halo13]

What happened to @Taylor?

It's been discussed by a few users if you scroll up. He was banned.

[throwaway123]

Agree, so sad!

That's normal around this time of the year. You should've seen what it was like last year. Goodbye threads every day....

 

[Johnnythefox]

What happened to @Taylor?

Yeah, no sermon this week, unless someone else wants to step up to the pulpit.

Wow, is it a seasonal thing? Rates for ctb raise high around the holidays, too. Especially Christmas

Yes during spring and early summer the suicide rate is the highest.

Has there been a clean-up of the posts suggesting patently silly methods?
I found this forum, and joined it, hoping for advice on certain, painless methods. And to get away from the usual "don't do it" clichés. Things ARE getting worse for me, and will continue to do so, and I don't want do-gooders trying to stop me. I am hesitant because of fear, and because of the effect on my family, who have looked up to me as a rôle model in the past, and because of two affectionate and loyal dogs.
I have found some useful stuff, but I do get confused by the different opinions. One poster will tell us that such-and-such a method is certain and pain free, then along comes another to tell us the opposite. And I get annoyed by uninformed posters posing as experts - there is a place for them to state their opinions and beliefs, but should be honest enough to make their lack of real first hand knowledge quite clear. The daft suggestions are irritating too, and seem to be mocking the serious intent that most of us feel. As a response to such posts, I made a facetious suggestion in a post which I thought would be so completely OTT that the sarcasm would be an obvious rebuke, but that backfired on me.

 

[color_me_gone]

Agreed!

uninformed posters posing as experts

I think it is safe to say that nobody here is an "expert".
After all, colleges don't give out degrees in "how to commit suicide."
The ones that truly were successful, are no longer with us to relate what they did right.
Best is to read about the failures, and take that with a grain of salt.
All methods come with problems, things which may or may not go wrong.
It is what it is.
A certain amount of luck is also required with any method.

I don't think I will post a goodbye thread … In case I fail (Again) If I do fail, I may be locked up and not be able to get on here for awhile.
I didn't post one last year before I tried. If I finally have the guts to do it again and succeed, I want everyone I will miss all of you.

There was a post about goodbye threads and banning the users shortly after to prevent someone from using their account.

I think that is a good idea.

It's been discussed by a few users if you scroll up. He was banned.

I miss Taylor … I hope he can appeal his ban.

So you aren't going to light fireworks around your head ??? Seriously though … many people don't have access to N or safer methods to CTB and are desperate. I don't remember who posted this method but I think that was their only option. It's sad to think that is their only way to CTB.
I'm sorry for your pain. I agree about the do-gooders. They used to post on the old S.S. forum on reddit.
I'm also hesitant because of fear. Mostly failing and being locked up.
I don't think there is a totally pain free method. Again … not an expert.
Out of curiosity … what was your facetious suggestion ???

 

[Alchemist]

Anyone knows anything about @Bedlamb ? She's been out since Fruday and I fear the worst.
