All good things must come to an end...
When I first started this site, almost 20 years ago now, the idea was to have a place where all types of ideas could be spoken, traded, and exchanged, where no topic was off-limits or forbidden. At the time the site was started there was nothing like it. There wasn't a world wide web, Internet access was hard to come by, publishing new ideas was limited to paper, and publishing on paper and mailing out what you published was ridiculously expensive. After all of the effort, your potential audience was limited to a few hundred people.
Now we have the web, and anyone can start a web site or create a Facebook or MySpace page and publish their thoughts for all to see. If you want to be heard you can be, and if people are interested in listening they'll find you. Access is cheap and plentiful. This is the golden age of information.
I don't think it will come as a shock to most of you that after 20 years I am burned out. For the last several years I've reduced the time I spend on the site to the bare minimum – paying bills, finding advertisers, maintaining the servers, fixing database problems, debugging e-mail server problems, handling SPAM, and answering the occasional question or mediating a random dispute, but even that takes 10 to 20 hours a month. It's time to do something different. It's time for something new.
I don't know what that something new will be yet, but I know I won't figure it out unless I make a clean break with the past, so it's time to say goodbye and move on.
I am closing down the site as of January 17th. The irc.slashnet.org IRC channel #totse will remain on-line (I don't host it and I have nothing to do with running it) and Zok's BBS is up and running and Zok says he thinks his equipment can keep up with the load, but this web site will cease operations.
So make your plans, set up a new rendezvous, and move on to the next thing. Thanks for the memories, it's been an interesting 20 years to say the least.

Someone needs to save all of the text files, post haste.
Congratulations though Jeff. You've done a great job throughout the years.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Are you going to discontinue hosting the text files or just close community?
I lurked and posted on this website for several years. I'd say it has changed many of my views, made me more informed about many things, and has aided in shaping me into what I am today.
On the other hand, goatse, tubgirl, decapitation, octopus porn..... 
So I guess totse's 20th birthday is meh

Oh yeah, and if anyone here is relatively wealthy, and I know there is a few, then offer to buy this place. Jeff wouldn't want millions for it - if you are thinking that... You will be loved and adored by tens of thousands. Of course you will never live up to the myth that is Jeff Hunter but who cares? You'll be like Kim Jong II ha ha

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Wait a minute. I call Bullshit. You cant be doing this and shutting down the site with only 24hrs notice.
You already had someone take over one of your accounts recently, so I don't think this is really you!
With your values of freedom of speech and wanting to provide this site free of service and whatnot, I don't see why you would suddenly be so selfish and not at least give it or sell it to someone who could maintain it.
That's just bad business.
That is fairly rational thinking.
im pissed, but we can all move to the forum Ytter_man mods.

what the fuck man, seriously. you got sponsers you got adds. so you had a fuckin crash, shit happens brother.
I've learned so much and met some cool people from this place man I wish you would carry on the flame.
Sometimes shit takes work you know, I mean if this was my site, and I was broke and going into red then I'd fuckin dip out. But hey if you got you some sponsers, you've worked this hard on it then wtf man keep on keeping on.
you've made your decision but whatever, I loved this site. but like the sayin goes all good things must come to an end.
peace love and happiness...

One question Jeff, if you're going to shut it down, then why did you bother putting up the new ads recently and getting it back online after it failed?
Or did you only come to this conclusion after doing these?

Re: All good things must come to an end...
I'm going to miss you Totse. It's been a good 8 years since I first discovered this website while searching google for "how 2 mak bomz". Boy how much I've learned since then. This website has literally been with me throughout the entirety of my teenage years. Never thought the day would come I would have to say goodbye.
It seems so lame that I'm actually getting upset over a website. But over the past 8 years so much has changed, I went from being a fat little 12 year old goth, to a fat hippy, to a ....normal grown up person. And Totse has remained a constant through it all.
Goodbye Totse :(
Thanks for the information, the laughs, and the memories Jeff.

Ha. I remember when I first came to totse in 2004, and I saw goatse. I was horrified, and literally covered the screen with my hand.
Then someone posted an image of a cartoon rabbit doing the goatse move, and they said "Is it wrong I find that cute?"
I thought to myself, "YES! YES IT IS WRONG YOU SICK FUCK!"
It's now 2009. Thinking back, that was such a cute cartoon rabbit...

I did that for a while everytime I'd load a link on totse, because it usually led to a fucking lemonparty or goatse picture. Probably from 2003-2005, it was almost habbit for a while.

Agreed, I really learned a lot about the world, myself, and others. I spent so much time here lurking and posting I really feel sad to see &T go. I don't think any of us saw this coming either. I remember discussing what I'd do if my future kid found totse, as if it were yesterday.
We've sharpened wits against one another and joked at the expense of countless others. As much as I collectively hate you guys, I'll always have a special place in my heart for &T.
Thanks for the laughs guys, it's been a real slice. |

Re: All good things must come to an end...
I feel privileged and proud to be a &t member since the last quarter of its existence.
And pats on the back with a resounding 'thank you' to Jeff for making the tightest and giving (and also fun filled hating) any online community has ever seen.
Would it be possible for someone (such as a proven and respectable mod) to take over or purchase the domain name and keep the legacy and dream set by Jeff online and going?

This site has taught me a lot over the past 5 years, from growing used to goatse, from creating pipe bombs, arguing about religion, masturbating to erotica. I will miss it. goodbye.

It's too bad I destroyed all the code for Notse, I would have handed it over to someone if it were still around. And all the work towards the user-editable textfiles archive would have come to fruition. Oh well.

Do what thou wilt All,
Well, it's been a good run, but as Mr. Hunter said, all things must come to an end.
Mr. Hunter, I just want to let you know right now, that you're site has helped me a lot through out my life as a teacher and an inspiration for a lot of my ideas.
I want to thank you for having had let us have the opportunity to post within your wonderful forum. It's been a good 5 years for me.
I'm going to miss this place. I wish you the best Mr. Hunter, I have to admit your site really changed my life for the better. Thank you.
For any of you that still want to have a place to post and discuss your atrocities and experiences go here for more info on my new site: http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?t=2188602

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Spectral, I hope you're having one last epic troll for all times sake to the memory of your persona. I'll miss you too, in a way. Too many people to name. It's inevitable that in time all of this and all of us will just be one happy slint of a memory in peoples minds, just like your first love, favourite pet, and best moments.
Shit, Jeff, we never got to find out who you are! Or maybe that's who you were. But that's ok, we all gotta change. Thanks for the 6+ years and hundreds and hundreds of hours spent on totse as KwinnieBogan, and a host of other names. Thanks for providing a place where another world of thought could grow, untainted from sad or boring realities. A refuge for free sanity. And thanks for being a good bloke, and putting so much into it, especially when we've had some major messes.
If only there was a way to commemorate totse, and a way to thank you for the good times that we could come to.Is it too late for the thankful of us to make a donation to you for your next adventure, project, or holiday, for what you DID? A slight retirement fund from your people in the community you founded (with some co-founders who have dissappeared through the years).
Accepting that this is happening is like putting your own dog down, in a situation where it's the best.
Good luck to you Jeff, and well wishes to every real totsean out there.

Spectral, I hope you're having one last epic troll for all times sake to the memory of your persona. I'll miss you too, in a way.I'll miss you too, Cowboy of the Apocalypse. And no, I wasn't trolling. In fact, I seldom troll. We can all thank zok and acidmelt for the site's closure. Jeff couldn't do it all by himself, and with zok and acidmelt causing endless problems on the site though their deliberate incompetence and apathy, this was bound to happen. DaGuru and I have been bitching all along in expectation of this very thing, so it's no big surprise to us. Ya, there are a few people on here I'll miss, and they know who they are.
Farewell Totse my love.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Well fuck. I need a new home page now, it seems.
Dammit, I finally got dragged back into this mess, after lurking for so long. Thanks for the times, Jeff, and my condolences. The internet will never be the same, but maybe we'll eventually get used to it.
Or, (more likely), we'll stick our heads down a garbage disposal.
On the bright side, now the act of a thirteen-year-old boy lopping a hand off when trying to make a pipe bomb in his garage will become a much more commonplace occurrence in everyday life.
Don't let this tragedy change the person Totse made you. I'll do my best, but being on Totse for my formative years was a unique experience.
Thanks Jeff, for all that you did for us. I would have never guessed I'd miss Totse too terribly much, but I'll shed a tear for the death of this Internet titan.
Go huff raid, all of you. Fuckers.

Totse and getting high were like one and the same to me... one went with the other.
Oh well, I don't give a fuck about Jeff Hunter anyways, crusty old faggot.... In all seriousness though, the simple fact that none of us ever thought that this day would come are all stupid.

Totse has SUCKED for the past 2 years, shutting it down is for the best. You don't wanna see Totse crumble and fall anymore than it has, put it out of it's misery.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Hi Jeff
im tank187(my username totse).I'm 22 years old and from South Africa
I have been feeding off your site since I was in std3(grade 5) when i first discovered it. I was about 10years old, I used to save my lunch money which was 3 rand/day at the time just to get that R15/week to go to the internet cafe to get my 1 hour fix of totse. Throughout high school my every speech and project had some relation to the information on this site. Though i never corresponded much on the site itself i used the info vastly in my everyday life. I did and still do lack the confidence of questioning the totse team of experts incase i come of as stupid.
Now being 22 years old and working towards my computational physics degree i look back at the influence this site had on my life over the last 12 years: I mean look at my situation, I'm working as an IT guy at a satellite tracking company, trying to finish my degree which would've been medicine had it not been for the hack and Ka-fucking boom parts of this site, in addition to this i'm currently working on a way to hack facebook along with other friends who also have been feeding off your sites information.
Your site has thought me to find contentment with a computer, such contentment i haven't found in a girlfriend as yet.
Your site thought me that the greatest weapons of mass destruction are either your PC or found in your kitchen cupboard.
After reading your message i feel as if a family member has died.
Your site is what took me away from the boring reality off biology and unlocked the power and brilliance of the virtual world and hence programming. Here we make the rules, here we are as powerful,great and popular as we choose.
You say facebook, you say myspace: those sites are for the incompetent cretins that roam web, yes i'm there but only because i would not want to socialize with those fools here and cheapen this site, my girlfriend included.
By killing this site you have effectively killed a piece of me that has been developing since i was 10. And not to mention cut my iq in half.
You leave me without choice but to join the lower class "normal" people who i shun.
Now I'm no great and mighty hacker or cracker neither are my friends but if you want us to destroy facebook,myspace,itsmy fuck even mxit in order to keep the electron screaming please let me know, I can't guarantee our success but i can guarantee we won't eat we won't sleep until we know that their is nothing else we can do.
You made me the monster that I am and now you choose not to feed me!!!!!!
Yours Faithfully for the last 12 years

Re: All good things must come to an end...
You can't be serious, Jeff.
Such decisions are not made in one night. If you were going to shut Totse down, you would have spent a lot of time thinking about it.
20 years is no joke. A huge community, lots of textfiles, huge amounts of valuable information contributed by totseans.
Remember when I was making a Totse Calendar '09 around a month ago, and I asked you to take part in it somehow since I really wanted it to be a "20th Anniversary" calendar somehow? Well, you did, and you even posted the exact day and time when you made the first ever post on the BBS. You couldn't have not known you would shut down Totse then? The idea was that we would celebrate Totse's anniversary, not mourn it.
You could have at least given us a bigger notice.
What will happen to the archives? You can't let all this valuable information go to waste. After all you've done, this wouldn't be right.
---------------------------------------
To all the Totseans feeling down right now: maybe this will cheer you up.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Well, I'm sad to post here...
For 5 years now Totse has been my favourite forum on the internet, it's truly unique, and I'm going to miss it greatly.
I wish I'd thought to post more when the temple was still alive. I never considered how much this site has shaped me as a person, from age 13 til 18. It's honestly been somewhat responsible for some of my views of life, and it's going to be a long time before I forget what it was.
I hope Jeff leaves some sort of memorial in the totse.com page. Maybe even leave the text files intact? Who knows...

Just like to say thanks Jeff, I realise you probably won't read this, and that nobody else cares - but the amount of time, money and energy you must have spent on this site over the years must be a staggering amount.
On the off chance you're ever down under in Australia, there's a free beer with your name on it (I realise there is basically no chance of this ever happening, and nor do I expect or anticipate it happening; but ya know - the offer's there).
Take care Jeff, have a nice life.

Holy shit is this for real? No fucking way man. I've used this site since I was in 8th grade, only just registered this summer during the tsn00bie. I had intended to be here for a few more years.
Seriously... this site changed my life. I wouldn't have known about night ops, probably wouldn't have started smoking weed, and I definitely would've had a harder time getting through two weeks of hell in 2006 if I wasn't lurking Totse (that one is a long story I could post in S&A... lol).

Why don't you just sell the site? If you're going to just wipe Totse from the face of the internet, then surely selling it would be a better option for everyone?
So why don't you name a price? If I can't afford it on my own, then I'm damn sure a few of us put together could.
If you don't want to sell the domain, fair enough, it's your legacy. But what about the source code for everything? Be a damn shame to let all that work go to waste.

This, also the bbs database if possible.
Some of the threads are just as good/better than the text files.

Sorry to hear this, but we all have our reasons, and I understand about getting burned out on things.
However, I will be glad to make an offer for the site. My Father died this past Monday, the will was read to me this morning, and I will be inheriting over 200K by this coming Wednesday.
I'm going to throw out an offer of 10K, which I would be prepared to pay by this Thursday. I won't post my email here, but you have it in your database, and if You're really who you say you are, you can find it.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
Im an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an achor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
Ill never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye strange its been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye mary, goodbye jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Now some they do and some they dont
And some you just cant tell
And some they will and some they wont
With some its just as well
You can laugh at my behavior
Thatll never bother me
Say the devil is my savior
But I dont pay no heed
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
Ill never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger its been nice etc...

Re: All good things must come to an end...
For the last several years I've reduced the time I spend on the site to the bare minimum paying bills, finding advertisers, maintaining the servers, fixing database problems, debugging e-mail server problems, handling SPAM, and answering the occasional question or mediating a random dispute.
I'm hopeful you have put significant thought into this, and not making this decision impulsively. From my vantage point what you just described above should NOT be as mentally/physically/emotionally taxing as it is on you. Even after 20 years. If only you had the gumption and awareness to rethink all this and put BETTER people at the helm under you.
Seriously......if you had the PROPER people in the job of admins you wouldn't have nearly the grief or headaches that you do. People have been trying to point this out to your for a long time now, but for whatever reason you have completely ignored them. A great example of that is if you go into your M & A and read a thread titled "Problems with the Administration" (July 08') where multiple mods gave you countless reasons to re-examine who/why you have at the helm....and yet you completely ignored all of that. And that isn't just one example or thread of people trying to explain how badly this place has been mismanaged by your admins (and some mods), just one of the most notable. But again, you've ignored all of the other attempts of discussing this with you as well
Meh, chances are there is no talking to you about any of this, so putting any thought or analysis is pretty much a wasted effort. But the truth still remains, if you revamped just a few thing like...... changed some of the upper echelon senior staff and put just a tad bit more effort into better communications with your underlings....then you wouldn't have nearly the headaches you do now.
Sorry, but from what I've seen these last few years.... if you really are putting up THAT much time weekly that you described, then you only have yourself to blame for it.
Better managers under you= less headaches/less work for the owner.
It really is THAT simple......

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Can't believe it's been almost a decade now since I first stumbled opoun this place. Totse, you will be missed, although perhaps- It is for the best. For any that I'll never speak to again- Goodluck. This has been the best website I've come across on the internet, and I genuinely mean that- Knowledge from here has shaped me more than one could expect.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
I'm hopeful you have put significant thought into this, and not making this decision impulsively. From my vantage point what you just described above should NOT be as mentally/physically/emotionally taxing as it is on you. Even after 20 years. If only you had the gumption and awareness to rethink all this and put BETTER people at the helm under you.
Seriously......if you had the PROPER people in the job of admins you wouldn't have nearly the grief or headaches that you do. People have been trying to point this out to your for a long time now, but for whatever reason you have completely ignored them. A great example of that is if you go into your M & A and read a thread titled "Problems with the Administration" (July 08') where multiple mods gave you countless reasons to re-examine who/why you have at the helm....and yet you completely ignored all of that. And that isn't just one example or thread of people trying to explain how badly this place has been mismanaged by your admins (and some mods), just one of the most notable. But again, you've ignored all of the other attempts of discussing this with you as well
Meh, chances are there is no talking to you about any of this, so putting any thought or analysis is pretty much a wasted effort. But the truth still remains, if you revamped just a few thing like...... changed some of the upper echelon senior staff and put just a tad bit more effort into better communications with your underlings....then you wouldn't have nearly the headaches you do now.
Sorry, but from what I've seen these last few years.... if you really are putting up THAT much time weekly that you described, then you only have yourself to blame for it.
Better managers under you= less headaches/less work for the owner.
It really is THAT simple......
This is awesome... now I have you where I want you.
You actually think it's ironic that a year later the site goes down... what... did you wish for it or pray that it would happen? it's just 365 different days. Get off your high horse, cunt. I see you're still gonna ride out in typical DaWho'reYou Fashion.
My only regret when I saw that totse was closing and Zok's site was the back up was that your bitch ass isn't gonna go there so I never get to troll you anymore.
Have fun being a waste of existence now that you can't complain about Zok and Acidmelt and waste internet bandwidth mailing jeff about how unstable his modships were. You're still a piece of shit in everyone's eyes through all of it. Maybe you can still email Jeff for old times sake to feel like you're still doing something valiant with your life.
Hope you're happy that you finally get to gloat you sorry sack of shit.

Wow, you really do need some help.
WTF are you talking about...."now I have you where I want you". How the hell does this thread or current situation that Totse is in have me in such a state as you describe? Huh?
And it's no surprise to me in the least you would take yet ANOTHER thread and derail it with your petty and butthurt takes wrapped around your immature grudges. Talk about getting a life.....
Gloat about WHAT exactly? The fact I've been stating that this day was on the horizon? Yeah, I've been telling you all for months upon months how this place's traffic has been dwindling because of the mismanagement of its senior staff....and here we are. Expenses finally outweigh income all because the lackwits that ran this place into the ground, after 20 fuckin years of not having that problem.
So how exactly am I this "evil mean bad guy" you keep trying to portray?....all because I FUCKIN TOLD YA SO!!!!!
^^^^That kind of gloating? :)
ROFLMFAO @ yet again how redundant, silly, immature and predictable some of the people on these boards are.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
i'm actually in fucking shock. i always thought totse would be there for me. i can't believe i'm hit so hard by the loss of a website. i first found this site when i was 14. i'm 20 now and ive been off and on ever since... mostly off but often on. this is really like losing a remnant of my childhood.
jesus christ it's gonna be awhile before i'm not checking every day for the offchance that it's back up. i can't fucking believe it. thanks for the memories though.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
I've been here for over 3 years and I still feel like I just got here. I feel like I've just scratched the surface of all the wonderful things totse had to offer, and now it's gone.
Admittedly, the quality of posts had been steadily declining for a while, but there were always the stalwart few who made this place worth coming back to time and time again.
They say that you can never really leave totse. I guess this time, totse will be leaving us.

Fuck, really? Totse was with me from when I was 13 (03) til now, 19. I grew up with totse. It taught me a few things.
The majority is usually wrong.
Women are inferior.
Religion blows.
Totse is awesome.
I'll miss this place.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
This really sucks, I've been a member here for a few years now, and I was lurking a few years before I even joined totse. I'd like to thank BLTC for pretty much getting me into drugs, I believe it's actually changed my life for the best. I'd like to thank &R&R for introducing me to some great music, without you, I'd never discovered almost half of the bands I enjoy today. I'd like to thank IFIOTW for all the lolz, and keeping me entertained when I was bored. I'd like to thank meta for being a great mod, although you're hated by so many people. I think I'll be joining Zok's site soon though, but R.I.P. totse, if this really is the end.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*JEFF*HUNTER*PLEASE*READ*!!!!!!!!!!! !!
******************************************
#######MR. JEFF HUNTER PLEASE READ#######
~~~~~~~~~******************~~~~~~~~~~
JEFF YOU MUST READ THIS!!!! For the love of God!!!!!
JEFFFFF HUNTERRRRRRR
Sorry about the spam intro but I needed to get your attention. I'm hoping this is a sick joke... But I doubt it is. If you wanna close down the site... for real... I understand. It sucks but damn... I've spent so many years here... I can't even imagine life without totse.
BUT before you do, I have a few, non-outrageous requests for you. I beg you to PLEASE consider the following.
First off: PLEASE don't close totse TOMORROW. If you wanna close it down... then fine... but you need to give all the people a few days at least to swap info. Some of the best posters only check in once every few days, or once a week, this isn't fair to them. Please for the love of sweet zombi jesus, keep totse up and running for a few more days. Its been 20 years... whats a few more days?
Second: PLEASE help us preserve what totse is. I know jack shit about computers, but I know you have a recent copy of all that is totse saved. Please!!!!! Make this available for users to download. I've posted SOOO much stuff on this site over the last 5...6... years.. im not even sure how long ive been here. But it would be evil of you to just throw all that stuff down the drain. I can say that myself, and many members of totse would like to download a hard copy of the temple... to remember the old times. If it is possible, please make this available for the posters of totse who do not understand how computers work. I beg of you...
Third: Try and find someone to take over your place as admin. What are you going to do with all the equipment that keeps totse running? Sell it? I hope not... or if you do, I hope its to someone that will keep totse up. Please make to domain available for someone that wants to take your place. God knows I hate him but I'm sure meta would gladly take your place as ruler of the temple, this site is his life. Maybe he will buy the server equipment from you and host the site. In any event, please allow totse to continue if it is at all possible.
I would like to personally thank you for all the time you dedicated to this site. I know it must have been a pain the ass and consume tons of time and money. We have had some good times on here. Totse made me who I am today. Really, I mean this when I say, thank you. Thank you a fucking ton. Your actions have had a great effect on me and thousands of others. You changed the world with this website, and that's not BS. You really did change the world. Long live Jeff Hunter, the man who made all this possible. You are my hero, my internet father, my superman, my Tyler Durden. I thank you.
Thats it.
The rest isn't necessary for you to read if you're busy. Its simply my thoughts and feelings about this.
Your original purpose for totse indeed succeeded. You can find info on here that you cannot find anywhere else on the web. We really are a unique community, and it makes me extremely sad to think we will all be broken apart. I love this place. Its sad to say... but its my main hobby. On totse you learn, you laugh, you cry (if your a pussy). I've been exposed to SO many things I never would have been otherwise. I've learned SO much, I've met so many people. I like in an area surrounded by Ontario Suburbia, and this was my escape. I am extremely different from everyone else in real life. Totse made me unique. I came here when I was 13 or 14, a crucial time in my intellectual and personal development, and I would like to thank you for creating something that effected my life in a profound way.
There will never be a true replacement for the temple. Never. No other forum will ever rival the epic legend that is totse. This place is truly unique.
Although I don't post as much, and feel totse has gone downhill the last few years (fuck vbull lol), I will really miss this place. Like... a lot. If totse is gone there will be hole in me that can never be filled. All my life is changing. I'm going to university, all my childhood friends are leaving, I have a job and will be moving away from my home. And now totse is gone. My world is upside down.
My other accounts are doornob_lightbulb (the original), aliveupboy, sticky spic, and a ton of others I can't remember. No point in banning me now, eh meta, lol.
I'd also like to thank the admins, and yes.. even meta, for all the time they put in trying to improve this place.
My msn is doornob_lightbulb@hotmail.com, I hope some of you will add me. Especially silverfuck, robbinhoody (if he sees this), panthrax, pretty poems (been a long time since we talked but I remember you), ObsdianZ, Agent 008, enter, HTSnoob, and jesus theres so many so I'll just stop.
I'd give some shout outs to my favorite members but this is long enough already. If you were an SG or BLTC regular since before 2005 and you remember the account doornob_lightbulb, or were a fan of my trolling as aliveupboy (pube art, serial vomiting, fruit fucking and much more), add me on msn.
You changed my life and you changed the world Mr. hunter, Good sir, I tip my hat to you and wish you the best of luck and a happy and successful life.
Goodbye totse. Goodbye everyone.
Damn this fucking sucks :(

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Jeff, this site taught me lucid dreaming. It broke my world. I have been here for about 8 years now, posting for some less.
lucid dreaming, caused a lot of what I believed, to fall apart. You, indirectly, made me grow as a person.
Please hold onto the information and try to sell it. There is so much here, this is a great piece of the puzzle that is life.
I hope you'll consider other options, for the benefit of others.
If I hadn't found this site, I would have made a lot of stupid choices in life and wouldnt be where I am today. Not that I rely on it, but it can be that life-changing.
Please, please think of any option of selling it, or passing the information to someone else. It's just text files, there's going to be a way to give the information to someone else, or parts of it. I hope you reconsider.
I remember at times I wanted to abandon everything, my home, my job, my friends. I felt I needed to. I tried to throw my wallet in the sewer, I went nuts, I ran off my job, got suspended, walked outside at night wondering where I would run. Someone returned my wallet. I didnt throw it all the way, I couldnt. How could I?
You dont have to do this. There has got to be someone else willing to bear the burden. I dont have the money, but Im sure someone could host SOME of this.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
Wow, this is crazy.
On the one hand, I'm pissed at Jeff that would just cut us all off like that without giving anyone else the opportunity to take the site up.
On the other hand, I feel I have no right to be pissed at him because he's provided us this awesome site free of charge and it's his site and he can do whatever he wants with it. I've learned more from this site than I have from anywhere else, and I'm immensely grateful for that.
On the third hand, I know my grades will probably improve now that I won't have &T to browse while I'm supposed to be working on schoolwork.
So, with that said, thanks Jeff, and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

Come on, are you Bilbo Baggins?
If you feel like butter scraped over too much bread then find a Frodo to carry things on.
There is a community here that will be destroyed that no one's MySpace or FaceBook or any other website can ever replace.
This is a historical site as well, and if historical buildings are worth preserving, then why not websites, especially those with utility like Totse?
If you need money, set up a PayPal account and have a money bomb. A lot of people would give five or ten bucks.
If you want to disappear, that is understandable, but don't destroy the community in the process.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
I hope that this is not my last post on Totse.
I lurked for three years, waiting for the regs to open, and I had planned to be here for many years to come.
Being that even the mods are surprised at this, I'm willing to guess that while being considered for quite sometime, a final judgment to put and end to TOTSE was made with haste.
I'm not sure what the final time is supposed to be that the plug is pulled, but I'm trusting that cooler heads will prevail, and I will be able to load TOTSE on Sunday.
I'm asking for the hierarchy to at least give it a week or so, for whatever circumstances finally drove them to this decision, to pass and look at the situation through non-muddled eyes.
Here is to you, my fellow Templar's. Lets hope that this is not the last time that we speak. :(

My best estimate is around 3-4 hours or so from now. It would be time zone related when it went down, and thats only assuming it goes down at midnight in that time zone. I believe the server is in California, so thats where my estimate comes from.

Yeah, notse was a good backup site. I can't help but wonder if we're getting trolled, though. I think this might be the first time that I've hoped that I was being trolled...

This is my last post.
This is a dick move, Jeff. If you want to cut ties, cut ties. You'll
still have ties, you just will have burnt the thing they tie you to to
the ground. Sell the domain name and hand the database over to someone,
and then move on.
There's barely any free speech on the net anymore. It's gotten
centralized and commercialized. If Facebook or Myspace don't like what
you say, you cant' say it. Totse was unique in that it actually fostered
free speech instead of burying it beneath terms of service and other
bullshit.
It will be missed.

Re: All good things must come to an end...
It's after midnight in the US. I've taken some url's of some 'almost-totse' forums and we'll see how it fares. God, I still hope it's an early april fools day.
*goes into the bunker, open a can of beans and starts eating*
I hear that after they drop the bombs, there's gonna be a winter for a long, loooong time...
