Ugh I'm so god damn bad with this type of stuff.
But basically I'm trying to keep Zoba from killing himself.

Don't ask DGAF. Get Zoba to call a hot line.
Maybe call one yourself and ask for professional advice.
Zoba, if you're reading this, I mean I haven't been around DGAF for long, but goddamn you're pretty well loved around these parts, that alone is clear to me. As much as I understand, and I do, I really do - please don't do this.
Follow the advice - get in touch with a hotline. It can help just to have someone you don't know at all remotely talking to you about shit.

He made a Off topic thread awhile ago. Stating that. I mention it here a few times.

Ok this has now become a completely serious situation. He clearly needs some help, and someone needs to get in touch with his family or relatives.
This. So much this.
This is some serious stuff. People who are very close to Zoba should try to get in touch with him. Don't feel is fair to share other's people business if they didn't ask to.
So I am not the type of person that levels up a dupe exotic armor piece just because it has a higher stat roll but for this new Heart of Praxic Fire I guess I will make an exception.
My old was kinda shitty and had 139 discipline ascended. The new one has 191 discipline once it is maxed out.
That is the highest roll I've ever seen on a chest piece. Like holy shit just wearing that alone will give me about 70% grenade cooldown.

Come on man. Zoba please. Life is long, you are young. I'll gladly talk to him on the phone if he'll listen.

See I'm really uncomfortable right now. Not sure if this should be shared publicly. But I'm kinda scared.
He's been depressed for awhile. Messaged me on FB that he wants to kill himself.

What can we do to help?
Well, I haven't had the chance to interact with him much but I can tell he's a valued and beloved member of this community. Zoba, if you're reading this, a lot of people will be sad if you're not around anymore. I don't know what you've got going on in your personal life but I can tell you there are people who care about you and want to help you. Don't do anything you won't have a chance to take back.
Edit: Going to echo the sentiments about him calling the suicide hotline.
1 (800) 273-8255
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Seriously Zoba is one of the great ones around here. I hope he knows it. Please get him to call the prevention lifeline if you can.
I've had friends kill themselves--you're doing the right thing by seeking help. Contact authorities if need be, take no chances.
I don't know his name/info/location, or I'd be calling someone pronto.
Wow, I think the assumed max was before that was like 184-189. I think I'd definitely level a dupe exotic if the difference was more than 30 points.
Probably poke a mod or admin who has his info to get the proper people over.
Poke an admin is probably the best idea yeah.

1. Let's please not attack Math for doing what any decent human being would do.
2. As someone who knows more about depression than I'd like to, saying things like, "Just call a hotline" isn't necessarily helpful.
3. Nothing bad can come from letting people know they're loved. I love this community, and you guys have picked me up more times than you know.

He's upset with me that I told you guys. I know your reading Zoba. But I wanted to prove a point.

Say to him (sorry I don't know if he is he or she) talk with somebody close or call that hotline number.
I don't think it is a thing to talk in a public place
unless he/she wants to talk with us.Orthogonal

Some people think he might have asked to be banned.
This isn't good
Oh. Mm.
Life is a fucking piece of shit that way, yah. I don't know his situation or what struggles he has so I can only speak from my personal experience. I've been fisticuffing with depression for a long long time and bouts of suicide are not atypical. Zoba, you're gonna think to yourself it's not worth it and it won't get better and that everything just hurts. There's something amusing about me trying to tell you to not go through with it when I've been struggling and mulling over the same thoughts for a long time. I don't even know if you'll end up reading this but I want to tell you that if you don't think you can live for yourself try to live for everyone around you. Let us, your friends, family, whatever, whoever know and live for them. Let them (and us) help you to find something to live for. That's what keeps me going from day to day. Like, no matter how petty it is or sad to others, whatever you have around you that keeps you going or whoever loves you and wants to see you grow and succeed, live for them. This is sad and pathetic, but I'd rather not kill myself if it meant missing out on whatever future video games are to come. I don't care what others think but it is just a small thing that keeps me going despite all my struggles. And I have a small group of friends that I lean on when shit gets rough and if we are that group of friends help us help you lean on us. This is a jumbled mess of stuff to say, though. I'm not the best to help you. All I can do is encourage you to see how you bring a positive light to those around you, whoever they may be. But, please, if not for you, then for us, try to find medical professional to help you through this. They're helping me along and letting me vent or cry when I need to and it does a lot of good for me and they know how to help me see better days. I know they can help you see those days, too.

Hey Zoba. I know very little about you, but I've been hovering over these threads for all 24 of them, and I definitely see your value to the community and discussions here. I have no doubt that you have a broader impact on your real life than you are currently thinking too. Please get the help you need to get through this. My friend and coworker just lost his brother to suicide in the last week and watching the toll it has taken on him and their family has been pretty tough. It's heartbreaking. Don't give in to depression. Get some help.
Hey Zoba - you're awesome man. It's been a pleasure watching you play with the devils recently, and some of your posts over at reddit have been really helpful as well. Sucks that you're in a bad place, but a lot of us think highly of the good things you've been doing. I hope you'll take the advice of others here if you're in need of help.
