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.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Did you just substitute latin letters with something else?

It's looks like a mix of runic, phonecian and latin

In a way I did. Every character you see is not just based on a separate letter itself, but actual sounds the letters in English words make. Its complicated to explain it.

I had made my own language once. Complete with phonetics, grammar and vocabulary. Took me a while...

I even gave it a base-6 numbering system. Or was it base-5. Nope...definitely base-6

You know that guy with the signature that says "ku klatu du" or something. Is that his own language?

Note that the english language lacks something other non-latin languages possess. The "name" of a letter also generally can serve as a vocabulary word itself.

But in English(and latin/german dervied languages don't seem to possess such a trait)

Then you've got East asian that doesn't necessarily have an alphabet but rather "syllables" that mean something.

I can confirm it seems there are some Runic letters in it. I can comfirm one Runic letter and 4 possible Runic letters, and 2 letters that might be runic, but it isn't likely. It seems to have no consistency with any of the Versions of Runic(Elder Futhark, Younger Futhork(Danish Futhork, Swedish-Norwegian / Short-twig / Rök Runes, Norwegian Futhark, Gothenburg / Bohuslän Runes), and Medieval (Latinised) Futhark).


Some refrence I used: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/runic.htm

Also it seems there might be a character which I think might be runic, but it isn't listed on the site, it's the upside-down V looking character.

Edit: More rune information: http://viking-source.com/Runes-Guide.html

Pretty Much my only signature...I'm mainly a lurker....you can find me on the IRC (or on DnE and their IRC).

RE: Secret language aliens taught me

The thing in my signature? That's lojban. It roughly translates to "go fuck yourself."

Hello, traveler.

This is an ancient account I have not used in a long time. My views have changed much in the intervening months and years.

Nonetheless, I refuse to clean it up. Pretending that I've held my current views since the beginning of time is what we in the industry call a lie. Asking people to do so contributes to moralistic self-loathing. "See, those people have nothing damning! I do! I'm truly vile!"

Because you can never be a good person with a single blemish on the moral record, I thought that simply entertaining some thoughts made me irredeemable. Though I don't care for his writing style, William Faulkner presents a good counterexample. He went from being a typical Southern racist to supporting the civil rights movement. These days we'd yell at him for that, probably.

People are allowed to change their views.

Nevertheless, this period of my life has informed some of how I am today. In good ways and bad ways. To purge it would be to do a disservice to history. Perhaps it will not make anyone sympathetic, but it may help someone understand.

If, after reading all this, you still decide to use the post above as evidence that I am evil today, ask yourself if you have never disagreed with the moral code you now follow. In all likelihood you did, at some point. If some questions are verboten, and the answer is "how dare you ask that," don't expect your ideological opponents to ever change their minds.

I didn't base this on any other alphabet intentionally. I designed the letters of this cypher to be easy to write like the English alphabet, but distinctive from them.

edit: I borrowed a few letters from the English alphabet.

Yeah which letters from the English alphabet that might have been runic are classified as part of the 4.
