Thanks everyone for your kind words. It is heartfelt and appreciated.

First if all, thanks for being respectful in your post and not trolling. Now to address the point you have raised. I have found over the past year that I cannot make a stable income from my work on PSSD. When I got ill with post-COVID syndrome, I couldn't work on the server any more which meant I had no income. If I had patrons on Patreon maybe this wouldn't be a problem since recurrent payments means a stable income even if I got ill for a while. This just doesn't work anymore and I've discussed this with PSSD admins yesterday and the best option for me is to leave and pursue other jobs for financial stability.

Trust me I'm not threatening that I'm leaving. This time I'm 100% leaving to pursue financial stability elsewhere as discussed with PSSD admins since I really have no other choice. The reason I made this thread is to see whether I should keep consultations open or not. If a lot of people still need me, I'll keep consultations open during weekends.

However, I'm quitting further PSSD research and brainstorming as well as labrating myself on drug trials. I will also delete my server and quit the forum altogether. So, instead of completely leaving like Ghost and taarn, I will still be around (partially) on weekends.

I hope this clears up confusion as to why I made this thread. I'm not begging for money since I'll be looking for financial stability elsewhere following my other passions in life. I'm also not threatening that I'm leaving since I'm actually indeed leaving albeit partially or completely depending on the outcome of this poll.

I completely understand that you need to make a living and this avenue is currently not working. Finding time to research is a full time gig. What I don't understand is why do you have to leave the forum completely? Why can't you share posts and comments on occasions? Most of us have careers but we still find the time to share on the forum. This is the only thing that confuses me. It comes across like you are upset and angry? I might be interpreting this wrong.

You contradicting yourself so much. If you made your decision, just do it and don't look back, why you need all these opinions. Delete the server and quit the forum. Spamming links for studies isn't a pssd research and doesn't require much effort. And no one was forcing you to labrat, you did it for yourself, but you putting it like it was some contribution. So basically you just want to know if there are people left that will potentially PAY you for '' consultations'' and that's the whole point of this poll.

I think many peope have hope in you.

What happens when a psychiatrist and a hooker spend the night together? In the morning each of them says: "200 dollars, please."

This community is super toxic, like most communities of sick people. It systematically pushes the best people away.
I'm sorry you feel unwelcome here because you are among the best minds we have.

I believe the best thing would be to have a private discord channel, with only vetted people. However, private communities have their downsides as well. Discord is also not ideal for archiving discussions like a forum is.

Please be constructive with your comments. Yes Meso asked for opinions but what he does is not bro-science.

If you have nothing constructive to say (think constructive criticism) then just vote in the poll and keep your comments to yourself.

I'm grateful for what you've done Meso.
Your research and guidance has helped people, me included.

I recall that the research server required a small fee for a while to prevent trolling. I don't know if that period of time provided you with enough income to continue the research? Perhaps that doesn't matter and you've made your decision regardless.

Either way, I'm sorry to hear that you want to leave the community. I hope you'll still be on the forum sometimes even if you won't be doing the research server anymore.
If you'll be doing consultations still, then that's great news.

Thank you for all you've done.
Best of luck with whatever you decide to do next.

From my perspective it is rather obvious that you are valuable member of the community.
