RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

RIGHT SO MYBB SOLVES ALL PHPBB ISSUES

I think a shitty residential internet should be enough for the actual traffic from posters that we get, assuming conservatism with pictures and such.
But... the bots, the guvmint, THEY'RE WATCHING US.

Hmm, it's probably because of the massive amount of visitors I'm sending here when I post the news articles to Twitter/Facebook/etc. Every visit is accessing the database. Might have to get some kind of cache thingy setup.

Facebook preps wouldn't last long here.
Also, have you seen the SS FB group? Probably not. There are some pretty smart people there. Decent discussions and stuff. Wouldn't mind some more of those people coming here.

By smart I mean intelligent and at least somewhat emotionally mature.

Anybody who comes to the fourms without being able to handle it is quickly ridiculed and trolled to death until they leave. They don't stay for long. I think we'll be fine.

I had a certain person in mind I was comparing maturity levels with. You might be able to guess who.

Eh it's not really a MyBB issue, it's just that there's a lot of connections to the site, that's all.
I've had no problems since the server transfer anyway.
