[Crisis Averted!] Info is NEEDED regarding Sobotnik - General

Thank fucking god he's ok That was one hell of a ride.

Hey, I'm not that active around here as you might guess looking at my post count, but I do lurk here daily, and I want to say that it's great seeing people who have never met one another sticking together to save one of their own. You are all good people. Remember that, even if Sobotnik gives you a hard time... for "ruining" his plan, that is.

Thank god. [editline]17th September 2015[/editline] That he is alive ofc.

Thank god you got the best possible outcome We'd all miss sobotnik.

You done good guys, you saved somebody's life and should be proud of it.

This whole thread hit me right in the feels, you guys are great :')

Hey Sobotnik, I hope you end up reading this thread just so you know how much we all care. I know how it feels to be suicidal, and I know how it feels to be saved from attempting... But I hope you don't take our help with malice, please keep your spirits up, even though things may be difficult, there are people out there who love and care for you, even if those people are just some pixels on your computer screen.

I've actually been pretty cynical about Facepunch lately and I've been considering leaving (in a non-dramatic just walk away fashion, none of that that cat permaban me bullshit) but this whole thing and the help and good thoughts of the people here have made me reconsider

Can't tell you how much my skin started crawling like crazy when I opened this thread. First I thought you were trying to doxx him. Said this much on Steam, but you reacted in the best way possible. Sorry I wasn't online to help when this happened, I really am. Sobot is possibly one of the most interesting and bright people I know. Think I would of honestly cried my eyes out if he died. You're all good people.

Holy shit, we did it, Facepunch, we saved someone's life. Thread got me pretty scared when I first read it, but I'm really relieved to hear he's alright now. I'm hoping all goes well for Sobotnik.

I'd totally understand if he didn't feel up to coming back to Facepunch, but at the very least I and any sane person wouldn't try to hold this against him. I genuinely hope he doesn't feel embarrassed or anything like that.

[QUOTE=daigennki;48701134]Holy shit, we did it, Facepunch, we saved someone's life. You people are amazing. I'm hoping all goes well for Sobotnik. By the way, what caused him to consider suicide in the first place? Not to be offensive or anything.[/QUOTE] I don't know, but that part of it is his business anyway. All I care about is that he's safe.

[QUOTE=iAmaNewb;48701147]What he needs now is support.[/QUOTE] Right. I'm trying to emphasize that if anyone were to actually use this against Sobotnik on Facepunch they'd definitely be banned and they'd definitely be out-of-touch. However, since we're on the internet, the expectation is that someone will be retarded enough to say something stupid like that, which is why I understand if Sobotnik wouldn't come back with his current name or if at all.

Jesus, this thread scared me. It is pretty weird that i feel so close to Facepunchers even though i usually never have direct contact with them. Hopefully he has a peaceful recovery.

I never really got to know sobotnik, but I never really saw eye to eye with hin either. Still, when I read this thread I found myself genuinely worried. Glad everything seemd to have worked out.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;48701173]Jesus, this thread scared me. It is pretty weird that i feel so close to Facepunchers even though i usually never have direct contact with them. Hopefully he has a peaceful recovery.[/QUOTE] It's weird, because everyone (for the most part) is just pixels on a screen to everybody else... but when you spend enough time around here, you start to get a feel for other peoples' identities through the little bits and pieces you see of them in their writing every day and they become familiar to you, even if it's just minutely. I always feel a little sad when I see people leave or get perma'd, no matter how I feel about what they post.

I'm so happy you guys did what you did. Every Facepuncher who helped should feel good for what they did.

Holy shit thank god he's okay. It makes me feel good about staying with this community through the years reading stuff like this. Feels bizarre reading this considering I could easily see myself in the same situation not too many years ago. Well, I guess I was in the same situation before, but I'm just glad I'm not there anymore and I can understand how it feels. I certainly hope he gets through this and keeps moving forward.

I had just experienced the loss of a loved one yesterday and haven't slept since and still haven't had any suicidal thoughts. Really is weird thinking about it like that. It was good for my heart seeing you all so empathetic for him like that, I want to let you all know that this thread is making my morning.

This is the best thing i've seen the community do and all involved should be extremely proud, you're excellent people and it's great to see an online forum operate in this family-like way rather than with efortless malice.

So many thoughts are going through my head. I honestly wish I was online to help when this happened. I've had 2 too many encounters with potential suicide myself. I wouldn't know what to do if someone I knew, online or real life, actually did kill themselves. I'm so glad everything ended well.

Great work everyone, a life was saved and you're to thank for it

I know someone who tried to commit suicide. Friends called the police and ambulance and managed to save her, and she initially held resentment but after a couple of days really appreciated the efforts of everyone who saved her. Hopefully it'll be the same with sobotnik

I broke down a few years ago, nothing worse. I might disagree with the views Sobotnik expresses here, but I really genuinely hope he is ok, gets over the obstacles he is facing and if he wills it, for him to come back to facepunch when hes feeling ready.

What happened to Sobotnik that caused him to do this? Sorry, I am not familiar with his posts.

[QUOTE=arleitiss;48702189]What happened to Sobotnik that caused him to do this? Sorry, I am not familiar with his posts.[/QUOTE] he hasnt given any reasons, nor has anybody close to him said why he attempted suicide. And really, it probably wouldn't be the best time to talk about it.

An internet forum saves a man's life- this stuff should really be posted in the news, scotland at least.

Glad to hear that he was able to be saved!

Proud of you guys for saving someone's life. :happy:
