I used to hang out there back in the day (under a different name). The frank discussion there got me through some really dark times. Once, I met one of the posters IRL. It went fine. We didn't talk about suicide.

I wonder the same. There used to be a sentiment expressed back then with the phrase "waiting for the bus". I wonder how many of those folks are gone or are still waiting for the bus. This thought makes me want to cry.

/me raises hand.

I remember a chart that was floating around that usenet group that showed you the ideal rope length for hanging yourself without either choking or popping off your head from too short/long. I think they sourced their info from this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Table_of_Drops

Good times.
