After an announcement of the wiki's establishment was made at [[wikipedia:alt.suicide.holiday|alt.suicide.holiday]], and the site's purpose was explained as helping promote better public policy, enable people to make more informed suicide decisions, facilitate people's finding others to talk to about their suicidal feelings, etc. the general sentiment expressed in response, circa 23 November 2013, was "oh just like the millions of others that do the same thing".[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.suicide.holiday/K3rG5lfT1TU] However, the views of the alt.suicide.holiday regulars are not necessarily to be construed as representing those of the suicide community as a whole; many opt for more moderated forums. | After an announcement of the wiki's establishment was made at [[wikipedia:alt.suicide.holiday|alt.suicide.holiday]], and the site's purpose was explained as helping promote better public policy, enable people to make more informed suicide decisions, facilitate people's finding others to talk to about their suicidal feelings, etc. the general sentiment expressed in response, circa 23 November 2013, was "oh just like the millions of others that do the same thing".[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.suicide.holiday/K3rG5lfT1TU] However, the views of the alt.suicide.holiday regulars are not necessarily to be construed as representing those of the suicide community as a whole; many opt for more moderated forums.- | ||
SuicideWiki has no regular users other than the owner. On 18 January 2014, someone asked at Suicide-Methods-Hideout, "what happens when you inevitably stop paying for the hosting? is it mirrored at some free wiki hosting operation? —obviously, there's less return-on-investment, for editors and their time, if the site disappears after a while"[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/suicide-methods-hideout/mqirmtf2sps] | |||

Some concern was also expressed on 18 January 2014 by a SMH leader over SuicideWiki's listing detailed information collected from various publicly available websites concerning suppliers of suicide-related items: "i think the detailed informations about the chinese supplier of N (the only supplier of powder N that exists at the moment), available to the general public without any restriction, could scare him and, as allready happened with all other chinese powder suppliers arround mid 2012 when they were mentioned in the PPeH or other forums, he may stop supplying this item. Needless to say what a great loss that would be to those seeking this drug to peacefully end their lives. Do you think it is possible for you to remove, or at least to restrict the access to those informations? | Some concern was also expressed on 18 January 2014 by a SMH leader over SuicideWiki's listing detailed information collected from various publicly available websites concerning suppliers of suicide-related items: "i think the detailed informations about the chinese supplier of N (the only supplier of powder N that exists at the moment), available to the general public without any restriction, could scare him and, as allready happened with all other chinese powder suppliers arround mid 2012 when they were mentioned in the PPeH or other forums, he may stop supplying this item.
