If you thought the hate in Supertrash was intense...

you obviously haven't checked out the bodybuilding.com forums recently

if you think the story is sad, you should read the misc. section on the forum...they've basically been making thread after thread in mockery of this guy

[incob123]

I like how the father was berating all of the internet for not answering HIS own son's desperate cries for help.

[RyanF]

basically...and this guy had to know these people were gonna egg him on to do it

Contributing to the confusion was the apparent suicide note Biggs posted to the thread. After a short time, another bodybuilder.com poster discovered that the note itself was not wholly original. And he was right: Biggs appears to have combined text from at least two other suicide notes from elsewhere on the Web, with a short addition at the end. Biggs' note is transcribed here, while the two that he borrowed from are here and here.

Sorry but, lol.

Not to be too serious, but how? Honestly, the Internet is rife with boys crying wolf and the nature of the Internet makes it impossible (and impractical) to take everyone at their word.

Holla if you feel me.

copping them Dunk Phantoms was where it all went wrong

i dont know how many times people attempt things like this LIVE on a webcam but I was a paramedic for 3 years before I joined the army and you have to take every suicide attempt seriously. i was always surprised that even the people who admitted that they didn't want to kill themselves didn't know that the amount of drugs/alcohol they consumed was enough to kill them. we dealt with many people who - for various reasons - called in hoax after hoax and then one day you show up and it's a real emergency.

It'd be boring. Just a guy taking pills and eventually passing out on his bed.

Agreed. I really don't think this is a Kitty Genovese situation. I don't think it's great they egged him on but c'mon. What did he really expect?

Sufustyle would be cutting/burning all their annD/dior/julius shit and then becoming a hero. No way they'd let anyone else touch their clothes.

Or strangling themselves with some diorH 19cm w30 BNWT.

It's one thing to know that your friend is in trouble and call the police and paramedics. It is another when an unnamed person in an undisclosed location makes a public statement on the Internet. The difference of scope and locality is pretty clear. If there's not effective way to police the Internet for activity like pirating (which is far more common and noticeable), how much can people behind computer monitors really do?

Its the cops/fire dept/EMT's job they won't mind. as far as the forum members? it didn't take much time or effort to find out his contact info once - after 10+ hours - people became concerned. all it took was one concerned person among hundreds and this could have been avoided. do you really think that someone else's 'inconvenience' is enough to prevent these people from doing the cautious - and in this case correct- thing.

apparently they can do a lot because it didn't take much time to find this kid once people became concerned.

did you read the story? a kid from india tried to call the local police

[Handlethevibe]

Ok, if skull∞ said he was going to kill himself, would anyone do anything?

How is this 4chan shit or a bullshit thread?

[RyanF]

i mean we need to cut it out with these bullshit threads based on 4chan shit

it has nothing to do with 4chan, did you even read it?

[Oxy.]

Wow. Man it's crazy that I was just watching Law & Order on TV and the case was about a depressed teenager that decided to kill a lot of people at his high school for picking on him.

If someone made a thread right now saying they were going to kill him/herself, some of us would probably respond the same way the people at bodybuilder.com did. I mean, it is the internet & it's not like people don't come on here seeking attention that they don't receive in reality. So it is kind of hard to tell if it would be a hoax or not.

[WayneGibbous]

yeah i dont think this has risen to the level or 4chan junk

[High Monika]

1. This is Supertrash. We have a thread for CWG's, CAG, regularly make birthday threads, etc. etc.

2. This is a real story

3. Neg rep.

[Phyziks]

I'm on bb.com but I generally stick to the nutrition and routine sections. Great site, but it sucks to know what happened.

[Handlethevibe]

Just saw this, and laughed my ass off.
