I joined in 2016. I found this site by chance. I have watched many people come and go from this site and I miss them. Many are dead I have no doubt. Some just haven’t been on in a long time and have forgotten this place. I remember this one lad. He would post the most beautiful poems about his dead wife/gf he never said which. But in his poems he told his story and you could just feel his pain. I sometimes wonder about him. Another person always posted on everyone’s posts. Went through a divorce. Lost his high dollar company. He was always here for everyone. And even though he was decades older than myself I considered him a friend and I miss him. I think about him too. So many people pass through this place. I wish I too could pass through one way or another. Yet I have a feeling that I will be here to listen for more years to come.

They are in a better place.
It’s tempting to assume that absent members killed themselves. That’s what we want for ourselves, right? But the actual suicide rate on this site is a lot lower than you think. 9 times out of 10 when I think someone is dead, I’ll find out that they’re alive and in contact with others by email. I think maybe 5 members have actually killed themselves (confirmed). Lots of rumors and a few faked deaths pump the drama higher than it is, which makes the rest of us feel sad and crappy. But just bear in mind most disappearances are due to people moving on with their lives.
There’s 4,000 pages on this site and you were told only 5 people committed suicide?
What is your information from the beginning of the site or just the last 2 years.
talk is cheap. If you can prove more than 5 people committed suicide then pony up with confirmed evidence. If you can’t then kindly stick to facts.
ps my information goes back about years based on info given by members who have been here even longer. When I say ‘info’ I mean links to obituaries and newspapers. I’m not saying there are only 5, but I’m saying out of 4000 pages there are only 5 CONFIRMED suicides. And an overwhelming amount of false alarms.
Oh I get it. Do you know the names of these people? I know one lady about 3 weeks ago. Her husband’s (who she wasn’t ever happy with) brother came on and made a big spiel about how “she did it and it ruined their lives” after she posted about how she had a gun and was home alone and was about to end her life. She was miserable. If you’d like to end that to your quota.
Jmann66…. 1 or 2 weeks ago said he was going to kill himself in the morning.
I was gone for awhile but came back recently.
I’ve been in email contact with Hazy, AlanOminous, Rocketman, and Trey.
I was in email contact with PhantomCitizen43 for about a year, and then he abruptly disappeared, so I don’t know what happened there.
As far as I can tell, ToTrees passed away as a result of infection from his brain surgery.
Same for me my friend… Have not checked here for ages… but something always brings me back i have no idea why. Oh and Hello Cordless i am not sure if you can remember about me but it is nice to see you here again too ).
Kirito!
I remember you.
Ich erinnere mich an dich.

Oder, “Ich *lerne* noch Deutsch.”
Schwere Sprache.
🙂
Es freut mich sehr dass du dich an mich erinnerst! 😀
Does anyone know what happened to sadPotato?
I feel like I am more interested in a random person’s story than people I actually know. I feel more connected to people I don’t know. I get you and I hope I find someone like you had described any our post.
I think Soundless Scream may have killed herself too. I feel bad about that.
