Can we have a freaking party at some location?

Like Niagra Falls or a collede campus where all the codec members can meet up and talk to one another in person?

I know it will never happen, but if I have to come across another person who says that thy are depressed and are going to kill them selves, I swear I’m gonna burn this place down.

Unfortunatly, there’s going to be people like that around here, many have come from the lonely thread.
It’s just a part of society I guess...

It was someone way back when who made the thread, I think because at that time s/he had tried to make conversation with people but it never got anywhere so s/he made that thread.
I don’t 100% know the history of it either, but it’s famous.

what? what?

I meant it the other way around, where some of the people I’ve seen that have initially came here through that thread. (not people who come through that thread complain about being depressed)
I could be half wrong tho.

Either way, depression is like lonliness, you can’t just get rid of it at a whim.
Even tho everyone wants to, it just exists.

Anybody there?


'I am lonely, will anyone speak to me' pleaded the message on the website. Within minutes someone did - and soon thousands of total strangers were sharing their emotions. Oliver Burkeman on an online phenomenon

Nobody, give or take the occasional blues musician, likes to admit to being lonely. People who study loneliness, like Harvard psychiatrist Jacqueline Olds, typically have to rely on anonymous surveys to gauge the size of the problem; when you ask people to identify themselves by name, they tend to use words like “independent” and “self-sufficient” instead. On the internet, though, anonymity is the default position, which explains the extraordinary story of what happened on the website Moviecodec.com.
