Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

I would like to leave a note, probably because I feel like I have so much to say but when it comes down to it, because of the hard to summarise thing, I probably won't.
No, I don't intend to leave a note. I've thought about it in the past, everything from quoting Van Gogh's last words to Japanese samurai haiku in the original Japanese to confuse coroners.
Yes, but not to explain why or apologize to everyone. Although I will ask Sis to make up something to tell her kids and not tell them the truth about what Auntie did.
It will be a note explaining to my Sis that I have chosen to CTB and explaining the preparations I made so that things would be easier for her. E.g. combo for my safe to access important papers, contact info & documents for prepaid cremation services in case my body is found, info for the landlord to get security deposit back to her, info on the bank accounts I will have added her and my brother to so that they don't have to deal with probate or wait for proof of death, pre-filled out tax papers ready to file, how to have title to my car transferred, etc.
I will have already boxed and labeled things I'm leaving to her and my brother and disposed of charitable items.
Finding a good home for my dog will be the hardest prep item, but at least there is time.
Anything else I'm forgetting that a note recipient might find helpful?

No, I have a fatal illness and in home hospice so my death is expected. I'm just going to speed things along a bit. Typing this I had a flash of Reeves and Bullocks on a speeding bus lol. To your question; I want my suicide to appear to be the natural result of my condition. I have written goodbye letters to the important people in my life and simple cards to others which can be mailed afterwards. This is impor TV ant to me and is a BIG deal of course so I'm conducting A ritual although I'm the only one participating. Best wishes to you in whatever you decide.

Making A rational and calculated exit is a lot of work, isn't it. All the while thinking "what have I forgotten." I personally, want to commend you for thinking about you family. Wishing you well and hoping you find peace. Good luck. Pax.
Hello. I haven't thought much about my computer, tablet or phone. Yet, your idea sounds like a good one. Hope you don't mind but I'm stealing your idea lol.best wishes.
I've considered it. Loneliness has a death grip on me. I live alone and have few family members that seem to think about me. I realize this sounds like I'm being a victim but this is how things are. I'm thinking that if I died, naturally or otherwise, it would probably be at least a month before someone tries to see what happened to me. Maybe longer. With that in mind, leaving a note seems irrelevant. No. No note. As if my existence never happened.
Yes, I believe I will leave a note to close family members. The main reason for writing a note would be to give those left behind some closure and will mean they are not left with unanswered questions. I plan to say things like there is nothing you could have done and now I am at peace.
the way I approach it, is "I don't owe no one a fucking explanation", let along an apology.
but I've written notes (ahhh, failed attempts) to take care of my (teeny tiny bits of) money and personal belongings. like, donate my clothes to the local shelter and make contributions to organizations number 1, 2, 3, and 4 by this percentage. if you can clear up and donate my phone then go do it too.
and made it clear that no one be messing up my pronouns.
it's your choice to say goodbyes and take care of other bussiness. but as a rule, making submissions for a will is better for the latter.
