Summary:

UNTIL TODAY

this site used to be a life saver

josielin 21 Dec 2012 20:16

Im one of thoose scared souls that was worried sick untill today. Now 21th is soon over at least here in sweden and i was starting to calm down. And then i went to the site to thank everybody that helpt me and BAM there it was, a bunch of news that once again scared me. For all of you that think its enough debunking now, remember that my fear (and the others arround here) is not rational. Ive over come one day, and now im faced with the 23d: a day I knew about before but didn't scare me. We, the scared ones, might need you a little bit longer.

And also, What is wrong with people? why are there so many new users that keep scaring us all, with links. The last thing i read was a yellowstone euruption (i know, its a troll but still made my heart pound). I want to be able to let go of this and i realise now that this NEVER Stops!

Trolls will always be here. That is part of life.
But if you are scared of the 23rd, then you will also be scared of any future date that the doomtards will try to claim.

Your scare has absolutely nothing to do with any doom claim any more.
For this you meed specialized medical help, this site cannot provide. People here are not medically trained for this.

We can try to help you, but I need my life back and not be on this site any more.
The 21 Dec has gone, there is nothing to debunk anymore. The doomsday failed.

i know you need your life back, and that neither of you are medicaly trained! Of cource you should start relaxing and celebrate christmas! :) its just, i loved going in here earlier today and read about how NOTHING was happening anywhere. It was reasuring i guess. i wish you could stick arround just for that until 24th. I wish people kept doing that and not writing a bunch of scary stuff, And it doesn't feel so good when some is starting to make fun of us scared people. :(

December 23rd's claims are the same as December 21st ones. And they will fail because they are impossible. If you got over your fears regarding December 21st, then you don't have to be scared over this new date, because we all knew doomsayers would change the dates after the big fail of today.

We are sorry about the trolls, but we have to live with that. We debunk 2012 and of course it's expected that we attract some undesirable guests.

Most people will still be here, and so will I, but I will invest less and less time in this.
So any responses could take a very long time.

We cannot prevent trolls from posting scary stuff.
It takes a hell of time and resources to monitor trolls because you might flag someone as a troll but in reality is scared and needs help. You really have to go through every single post they wrote to determine if the scare is real or fake.

The number of post that nothing is happening is going to decrease because scared people will stop posting and continue their normal live. 21 Dec came and has gone.

I just wish that people would stop starting new threads and post in previous threads. It would really help.

Re: this site used to be a life saver

obaeyens 21 Dec 2012 21:09

That would be helpful but then again a lot of people are emotional and happy that nothing happened.

I know…But today was astronomical. (Does such word exist) By 1pm gmt, I was ready to strangle me turkey. Like he has only 2 more days left..Poor effing eejit. Every one talks about the world ending and poor pippa is dinner on the 25th.

Well I told you before that some of us will be here all the time through the 23th, the guys here are pretty tired of answering same questions over and over again and yeah I think all of us preparing for Christmas and the New Year.
If you have any specific worries or questions, feel free to write a message to me in Swedish.

Take care and good night.
Sincerely

Igormannen.

Hi josielin,
I and I'm sure a number of others will still be around through tomorrow. We will, of course, want to take some time off for Christmas. Maybe the doomies will even do that.
When we learned of the idiots planning to fake news reports claiming an eruption of Yellowstone was happening, we tried to defuse it by letting people know they were planning it.

We will be starting the new site soon, and 2012hoax will redirect you to it. Don't worry about this. It's standard doomtard behavior.
Merry Christmas!

Dear Josielin,

this site doesn't have to stop being a lifesaver to you. You learned a whole lot here, right? And learned a few things about who the Mayans really were, what's really going on in the sky, and why all this other bunk is just that. Let that help you. I hope that this site stays active too, because I'm one of the ones who has lived with practically crippling fear about this for years. And I know I've got a predeliction for fearing the worst. I have to work on that. I really do. the 12/21 terror has taken a major chunk out of me. Healing from that is going to take some effort.

Just like you, when I saw the new thread about Yellowstone, my hair stood on end. I hate that anyone could possibly think that's funny. If you're worried about the 23rd, apparently the guy who started it was Pane Androv ( I just learned that on the forum here this morning) and you can find a link to him in the left-hand column of this site.

I'm starting to go about the business of calming down. It rained torrentially on into the afternoon where I am, and then the sky cleared to the most beautiful blue. Somehow that was symbolic. I Christmas shopped. I spent too much money. I had fun doing it.

I am so very VERY grateful for everyone here who has helped. It's a bummer that there are those of us who need so much propping up when rumors start flying around, but here we are, and it's awesome that there are people willing to help us. Now everyone needs to go and have the best Holiday ever. AND THAT INCLUDES THE VERY SCARED!

Take care of you,
Rattly

Hi Rattly I actually thought of you this morning driving to my job (live in Sweden). Really really hope you´re ok and your fears are better (I know they not just magicly dissapear). You pulled this one through and that´s huge. Now conentrate on your life, your boyfriend and beautiful things in life, leave the sites that upset you alone, and as for doomtards, well they´ll just move their dates forward, but since the whole 2012 thingy was such a epic fail, I really hope that less people will fall for that crap.

Marry Christmas and
Happy New Year.

Igormannen

You guys are going to have to learn better skills to equip yourselves to deal with reality. Stop going to places where you will find this stuff. If yellowstone were going to erupt you would know about it long ahead of time and it would be in all the major news outlets. Prediction dates will always be there. I could bring up several right now and show you that more doomsdayers have made predictions. After this huge flop you might wish to begin to take control of your life back and not let the foolishness that people put out on the internet be what controls you. As I have stated earlier, my friend suffers from anxiety. He is on medication to help him live a more normal life. It is obvious there are some here who need medication as well. It is not even close to normal to have this much anxiety and worry over the things that have been mentioned. Having an internet site is nice. but some of you need counseling and possible medication.

Its now the 23 here. Nothing has happend! You are all right, i have learned alot and feel so much more confident now. This has been a horrible year and i dont know what i would have done without you. Before this site i mostly spended my days walking around as a zombie thinking that nothing mathers because where all dead anyway (sick, i know). Then i found this site and i got i little of my life back! I learned so much and now im able to put some of my fears aside and think of scince! Im still scared and i will be but now im getting help from a doctor. I got very relived that there was another site comming so that whenever i doubt i can go in there and find an answer. All of you are my angels, i mean it! I can't believe so many people can take time to help a scared, stupid 19 year old girl, even tough you had to answer the same questions again and again. I will send you lots of love from sweden now and hope you have an awsome christmas!
