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 was going through an old users post history and it saddened me. Everyone present now will someday post on SS one final time, then they'll never log in again. Whether that be due to them dying, moving on with life, or SS eventually closing down is uncertain, but it's inevitable.

it's not sad when i die, it's a relief. not just for me—for everyone i've ever encountered in this life
except the pro-lifers who forced me to stay alive, clearly, in this job description, they wouldn't show it outwards, but inwards—yes; after all i was just some disposable stranger.

Leaving SaSu, and the wonderful people on it will be a very sad moment when my time finally comes.
I'm actually dreading making my final post and saying goodbye so much that the thought of it makes me tearful.
I have been treated with compassion and understanding by so many amazing and beautiful people here that I regard them as family.

I think this applies to existence in general, eventually all we knew will be lost to death and forgotten about, existence is temporary and impermanent, for me the thought of this existence finally being forgotten about is the only relief, every second is one second closer to death and eventually I will be free.

There was another forum that I frequented long ago. I eventually moved on but checked in once an year to see how things were.
It eventually shut down. It hurt to think that all those memories and posts and growth that I and others had are now lost in time.

Never heard of it. I was on VT/GT back in 2014ish. They were forums about sex and mental health for teens (13-19) ran by teens. They were nice, and I even was a mod for a while.

I can see final posts hitting harder here. There's a vibe of understanding among many members with our struggles and issues that the general world, even family and others "close" to someone don't have. But yeah, eventually even the people missing others because of their final posts will themselves go away.

I also find it sad, I joined a little over a month ago so this is still somewhat new to me, sometimes I surprisingly find myself thinking about some members who made a goodbye post

When I make my final journal entry and have made the choice to either disappear into the ether of homelessness or turn out my light permanently, no one in the real world will miss me. No hiccups, no skipped days, no worries, no tears.
As for the site, I do not know if I will be missed; I never gave it much thought.
That said, looking around the site and seeing the interactions of members, I think it is safe to say most people on here will be missed, although it may not hit everyone on here the same way.

Honestly the thought of 'for the last time' haunts me with just about everything. Watching your favourite tv show before school? Getting picked up as a kid? Saying hello to a neighbour? Watching a certain movie? Logging off a video game? Saying "I love you" to your partner? Talking to online friends? Wearing certain clothes? Eating at a certain restaurant? Experiencing the release of your favourite artist's new album?
It's just so sad.

Yes I can relate to this 100% and it's the same here. This community is such a treasure! Although it's inevitable to leave and to make the last post sooner or later, it's still a bit of a sad feeling for me.
