Shocking news! We have received new figures that show the number of jCafeists who committed suicide in February could top the number of jCafeists who committed suicide in last 12 months.
Yesterday, jCafe moderators said its suicide rates were at their highest ever.
In a rare move, the jCafe24 staff released monthly suicide data today to highlight the growing problem.
Last year, 128 jCafeists committed suicide and another 15 suspected cases are pending. Last month, jCafe24 moderators believe that 24 jCafeists killed themselves – compared with just four in January 2009.
If those cases are confirmed as suicides – and moderators said they usually are – that rate would be higher than the 16 noob-kills reported last month.
“The trend and trajectory seen this month further heightens the seriousness and urgency that all of us must have in preventing suicides,” jCafe24 admin Senbonzakura said.
Veterans advocates said the new figures were “staggering” but also part of a larger problem. They said the numbers don’t take into account how many jCafeists commit suicide after leaving jCafe24.
The jCafe brass said they would hold suicide prevention training for all jCafeists from March 15 to March 25.
We spoke with the Admin of Jcafe24 to hear what he had to say about the growing problem.
“In February, we lost more jCafeists to suicide than to moderators,” said Silverado, Admin of jCafe24.
The cause for this sudden growth of suicides? Experts undoubtedly believe it’s because jCafe24 is down.

I belive this is a serious problem.
February 17th, 2009 at 7:41 PM
It’s only getting worse. I’ve just heard that GM will lay off 47.000 people because jcafe24 is down.
February 17th, 2009 at 7:44 PM
lmao
February 17th, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Ah, goddamnit! I saw this coming. We need to do something about this. We being you.
February 17th, 2009 at 7:55 PM
May be the rise in the suicides blame it on the V-day and also on server downtime. How do you determine the deaths are all suicides? and how do you know that they have all died?
These are my doubts, How did you confirm the death?
February 17th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
The cases are investigated by the specialists of jCafe24 and the police. As stated above, experts belive the cause is jCafe being down.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Don’t doubt professionals!
February 17th, 2009 at 9:21 PM
I think BBC will do a special report about this on saturday ;)
February 17th, 2009 at 9:56 PM
so the site is still coming back right when they get new servers correct??
February 17th, 2009 at 10:46 PM
our staff are trained professionals on researching and collecting data.
We are also able to determine that 99.9% of the deaths where suicides unless there was a influence of a death note. our calculations are never wrong and we do not suspect foul play.

Since jcafe closed, i started to use my brain O.o
February 18th, 2009 at 12:34 AM

Oh lonely, I’m so lonely… :(
February 18th, 2009 at 4:23 AM
It’s true! I’ve killed myself several times when jCafe is down
February 18th, 2009 at 4:29 AM
“our staff are trained professionals on researching and collecting data.”
Cfacey really meant stalking…
February 18th, 2009 at 4:45 AM

February 18th, 2009 at 5:19 AM

February 18th, 2009 at 7:35 AM
In fact the article has been writen by the wandering souls of those pooor bastards. Somebody call ghostbusters!!!
February 18th, 2009 at 10:55 AM
“In February, we lost more jCafeists to suicide than to moderators,” said Silverado, Admin of jCafe24.
It’s not for a lack of trying though. ^_^
I also notice a higher rate amongst the people who participated in the Kenichi, Freezing and Sekirei threads. They are fragile souls and need our guidance.
On a different note – I am still updating those series of mine that I uploaded, so when we do come back I will have some new stuff for y’allz. Glass no Kamen has new a chapter, for example

Meaning of life? jCafe! =D It is the only thing in this world that has intrinsic value. ♥
February 18th, 2009 at 1:03 PM
Guys, I think I’m going into jCafe withdrawal. I’m itching to grab the x-acto knife and cut a large artery somewhere in my body.
February 18th, 2009 at 2:37 PM
Don’t do it, then you can never go to jCafe again! If you still decite to do it, post here your youtube account address (or make one) and upload a video of it quick capture =)
February 18th, 2009 at 2:43 PM
:’o where hosting brutality now?
February 18th, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Insane, insane…
February 18th, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Truth be told, i was one of the people on the data colected here about the suicides.
But somehow i woke up the next day with an unknown person with a cardboard box in his/her head right above me, so i never knew what happened nor how did i woke up after i commited suicide.
Maybe, just maybe it might’ve been the one of the “trained professionals (STALKERS)” of JCafé. I do wonder if it was them….
February 18th, 2009 at 3:48 PM
Oh, you guys just spam everywhere, even here! =O

February 18th, 2009 at 5:22 PM

Ps: I’m kidding about the duck!
February 18th, 2009 at 10:29 PM

(PS: My “Deaths” are all exaggerated as I miraculously escape all of them.)
February 19th, 2009 at 6:36 AM

I heard humans tend to turn into canibalism when they can’t get enough meat.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:49 PM
Oh, good thing I’m not human =D
SilverHineko! <3 Hidden-chan never shows up on msn =(
February 26th, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Well yeah, cuz there was no n00bs for her to eat anymore. She went back to her coffin to slumber until jcafe is back up probably…
And hey Pucca! Did you see that?! Silverado-sama indirected talked to me! <3 (First direct contact with Silverado) *stares at Silverado-sama admiringly*
You know, you inspired my friend to write a cannibal fanfiction <3 (It was your ava pic that I passed along to her months ago)

The economy in Japan has fallen farther into a recession because of the collapse of Jcafe24.
March 1st, 2009 at 12:32 AM
The experts now belive that if we can’t get jCafe up, it will cause global mass hysteria, and according to the calculations, it will lead to the earth’s complete destruction in 2009/12/21.
