• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

  • Security update: At around 2:28AM EST, the site was labeled as malicious by Google erroneously, causing users to get a "Dangerous site" warning in most browsers. It appears that this was done by mistake and has been reversed by Google. It may take a few hours for you to stop seeing those warnings.

    If you're still getting these warnings, please let a member of staff know.

Lurking. Either because they are pro-life/pro-choice and curious, or for some reason do not fit the requirements to sign up for this site and have chosen to honor it.

I've heard a lot from reddit users post/complain about how they can't get in/too hard to become a member despite doing everything to sign up. However, I like how selective this site is because it protects those who actually finds comfort here without judgement.

Before signing up myself, I liked to just lurk and read through posts. That's likely not what all of them are doing, but I imagine that a good chunk of them are like that.

Plus, this site is one of the few places to actually find information on methods. Not everyone is going to want to create an account and join in on discussions if all they want is information.

I was one of those people for months. I liked the posts because I was able to relate to them and it made me feel less alone but for a while, I didn't want to participate because it's like "damn I'm really joining this?" There was a lot of shame involved. I was also concerned about the fact that using a VPN still required me to input my real IP address so I thought it was sketchy. I eventually didn't care any longer and made one anyway. Glad I did too.

Because people don't have to make an account to read the site, I believe the guests are just people researching suicide methods as after all this is a suicide forum. And to me it makes so much sense that lots of people are looking for a way to leave this existence as after all there is no limit as to how much one can suffer as long as they exist.

Pretty sure a lot of what are counted as "guests" are not humans. They're web crawlers and other assorted 'bots.

I think any website gets lots of hits, random web crawlers and bots like Ironweed said. I've had websites and there are tons of hits from random things all the time. This site must count them all as guests.

There are millions of hackers and bots constantly crawling all the websites for some reason. It's just how the internet is.
