If you’re reading this, than its already too late. Life is a game that I can’t seem to win lately and I'm tired of losing. I know I'm not the first to feel this way. It's time for a new strategy. I just need to get away from this world forever. Clearly I’m not compatible. I'm sorry to my friends and family that will have to find me like this, but it's the only way forward. I’ve been at a low point in my life the past two months and don’t foresee it getting any better. In fact it seems to be spiraling out of control even more.
Also, don’t you dare blame this on guns. Someone determined to take their own life would find a way to do it one way or another.
Rest assured this is all taking place in my personal life and has nothing to do with WebOasis. I don’t keep IP logs and your data for the forum and chat will remain safe and encrypted until the server inevitably expires months from now at which point it will be wiped/destroyed. To quell any potential rumors, I want to repeat this is a personal matter and has nothing to do with the site or copyright mafia.
Thank you to the loyal users that made WebOasis great. I want to especially thank those that assisted me with posting content/links and making graphics for me. It helped immensely.
I’m a man of my word and will post the source code publicly. Maybe someone can continue my work. I’ll post everything except the forum and chat databases.
To the individual(s) in real life that are trying to ruin me, congratulations, you’ve won! You almost certainly won’t ever see this, but if you do…Now I no longer have to worry about you and you no longer have to worry about me. You’re welcome.
Goodbye <3 Webby

This was my favorite place on the internet because of you @Admin (https://weboas.is/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1) and it won't be the same if you aren't here. I hope you have changed your mind and know that things will eventually get better. There are a lot of people that you will make sad if you do it. I've been in a similar position to you but not for 2 months, for 15 months. I pushed through it and I am sure you can too. Talk to me if you want to, I am here.
we will miss you

Brother. Before you do anything drastic, Please read about why you were created!!!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
If you have got nothing else to lose, why not read one book first? If it helps, excellent. If not, your no worse off and have a little more knowledge

Allow me to pay some respects to your service and brilliant mind over the past few years. I know you won't read this, but I like to talk to air.
Over the course of the time I have spent on this site, I have only directly interacted with you once. That one moment was simply to request that you restore the wolfram alpha quicksearch on the homepage so I could save a few seconds while doing engineering homework. I am not going to pretend that I understand anything about you, your philosophy, or your ideals. However, the one thing I can tell easily from the posts you have made on the chat and the various links you have posted on the forums is that you are an incredibly intelligent fellow that has more knowledge than 99% of the population on virtually all sectors of technology. It is a shame to see someone who is so knowledgeable die; especially from his own hand.
As zurigora said, this was the best website and database of information I have ever encountered. Truthfully, this website for me serves as a memento for the very first moment I decided to broaden my own depth of knowledge and start to really dive deep into technology. This was the first website I found on my own personal journey and I quickly realized how much left I had to learn. Today I have vastly improved and it is all thanks to your work on this website. I'll try to return the favor someday.
Bye.
Man I don't want you to go. You made an awesome thing, I've been bullied before but that's nothing to take your own life over.
Sincerely
Matthew Clark
don't go away webby : (
surreal...
i hope it ISN'T too late as written in the OP, I hope you're reading this.
I've been a lurker on W/O for a few years, and am also a multi accounter.
I remember when I first discovered the site from a post on /g/, was that you Webby?
I too struggle with this so called game of life and have been for quite a few years now,
I think up all of these dreams (some might call them delusions) and believe it or not;
WebOasis has been the catalyst of a whole 'ark' (so to speak)
I imagined who you were, more than once, and all I know to be fact is your birthdate,
country of residence and your great encyclopedia of wisdom that is somewhere in your head.
I appreciated those wisdoms sporadically spread throughout the forum, admin.
I don't know if OP is still in mortal limbo, or if this was set to be automatically posted.
I hope you're reading this admin, I hope you reach out to someone, anyone. Even me.
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed? I do, admin.
So much that you can't experience, no matter the reason, does it drive you up the wall?
I hope you're reading this admin; if so, reach out.
If not, have a safe trip.

where do we go from here? does anyone have an oasis away from the oasis?
Don't do it Webby. Please. For all our sakes.
You have made this place what it is. It just wouldn't be the same without you. Even if someone else does pick up the torch, they wouldn't be able to create this.
Fuck man, is anyone else feeling this hollowness?
admin was the bloke who knew it all and I feel like the whole shit-house world is worse off without him
I hope he is alive, could never even have a convo with him, just looking at his posts tells plenty;

I'll stick around for as long as the site is up, been using it for years now and it wouldn't be right to just let it go. Not yet.

The source he posted is the legit source. I have a copy saved locally, and will likely upload on say, a github.io spot or something.
Update:
RIP Webby. (https://ndsamuelson.github.io/weboas-is/)
This is just a github pages implementation of it, but it works as far as I've been able to tell in my bit of testing. Let me know if there's problems.
Death is never proud...only resolved. The most valuable...and the most dangerous...things in life are intangible; faith, hope, love...hate, despair, anguish. Know this to be true so when you stand at the gate you will feel what is most important to you...
...you will never see it.
Stand before The One who can only love and never hate.
RIP Webby. (https://weboas.is/forum/smileys/default/cry.gif)
WebOasis was the website that has saved me so many times. Everything at fingertips.
I will miss this place after the servers go down.

There's a couple of link lists in the folder structure so I'll look at them and see if there were recent ones that needed to go on, and add them etc. But I don't intend to be making edits as a rule.

You would need to make one giant find&replace for https://weboas.is (https://weboas.is) -> https://ndsamuelson.github.io/weboas-is (https://ndsamuelson.github.io/weboas-is) to fix all backlinks
Please don't do something you can't take back without first exploring other options. I'm not sure what's available in your area, but if you really want to end your life, then you owe it to yourself first to reach out to whatever programs are available, be it a phone helpline, or group therapy. The latter can really help bring you to a better place in your life. You may feel frightened, but the desire for death is a desire for change. Please choose change first, because you won't be able to later if you choose death. I realize I have no idea whether you've exhausted your other options yet, but that's why I'm making these suggestions in the first place, to make sure I cover the bases.
Please, please don't kill yourself. I've been down that road, but I managed to find help, and I can honestly say it's bettered me. Please at least give therapy or group therapy a chance.
I'm not sure what gun violence has to do with this, but they are just another tool of death. Why make such permanent solutions easier? Try everything else first.

Webby really likes guns. He is implying that he killed himself with a gun and does not want people to make this into another discussion about guns.
Man this is awful. Really hoping he didn't go through with it and is trying to get help instead.
If not, rest in peace and in the knowledge that so many of us enjoyed this amazing website and everything you did for it (https://weboas.is/forum/smileys/default/sad.gif)

That would be the easy part. For the full experience though, we'd need the domain name.
Best thing we could do for the domain is send in a fake court order to the domain registrar and pretend to be police, seizing the site, like the hackers that stole dark.fail did.

I know how you feel, I've been feeling the same way recently.
Goodbye my friend.
You will be missed.
I just want to point out - in case webby is still around: there's absolutely no shame at all in coming back. Open arms, all of us.
<3
Love you @Admin (https://weboas.is/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1) !!
Well, this is the shittiest news of 2022 so far. Sad. You will be missed immensely. This is my favorite place to be on the net hands down. If anything changes will be more than happy to see you back.
I hope you're alive @Admin (https://weboas.is/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1) . I'm not very active on here, but from what little I know of you, my hope is probably in vain.
Rest in Peace. You were great.
Is there a way for us to keep the oasis alive ? Maybe we could request the people hosting the website to give access to @Dread Pirate Roberts (https://weboas.is/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5099), so we could keep the site running, at least while waiting for Webby to come back...

I wouldn't trust my data with that shady character. He'd steal our passwords and pwn us all.
true you guys need to stop thinking DPR is the successor just because he tried to "claim the throne", DPR would be my last pick. Stoob is good but I don't think he'd want to shell money out on hosting. It would be really easy if we just ignored financials and found the best person willing to maintain, and then donated together so they would have the money to pay for the hosting and domains.

This is true, but my aim was mostly to ensure that the code was accessible should anyone choose to actually properly host it moving forward. I don't have the means to do so, but I DO have the means to toss it in a safe place , where at the very least we can pull it and move it elsewhere as needed. Also the gigantic excel sheet of all the links is included in there in the source files in case anyone gets bored and wants to clicky around the web. There's alot of them.

I am lost for words as I have watched the years go by watching you make different chat services and this is my main source of information I have learnt so much from you!
Maybe you can get all the links and put them in a text doc so I still have the info and all the torrent sites but it just won't be the same without this site. Someone should take it over because of its rank on google (https://weboas.is/forum/smileys/default/smiley.gif) the only thing I can say is do not leave us. Just take a break.
