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.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

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.

He already is, isn't he?
Wolfeh is still an admin.

Re: Spamming

I think random got a bit confused. She probably though 'De' was meant to be 'the' or some other alternative of it. Besides, everyone knows it's 'De-Admin'.

Anyway, I agree with Wolf, if you're spamming the forums you should get anal-raped by the ban-hammer for thirty minutes. If it was up to me, I'd put a virus on their computer that makes spam and AIDS from SS pop up on their screen. Constantly. So fast they could only read half of it. And the combined stupidity of it all would make them lose hope for humanity and kill themselves. Because, in all seriousness, people who go to an intelligent place, with the intent to destroy/corrupt it. Should be killed.

Re: Spamming

I just deleted around fifteen of gangstarebel's meaningless spam topics, so I'm all for temp-banning him.

I am of the opinion that the four or so people slamming Wolfeh for taking these actions are probably too thick to realise what he's saying...

For goodness' sake. You've wasted three pages flaming an experienced admin who was acting according to the few rules School Survival has.

You complain that this forum is going down the pan, but you cause it yourselves by not thinking before you type.

Re: Spamming

This thread have gone bad enough at page 2 since people are thinking they are arguing logically against Wolfeh, but they fail miserably. However, it's going to get worse since the troll is in here. :\

ZZZ...

Re: Spamming

Basically, I agree with Wolfeh. When people start spamming a forum, it makes it look like to passerby that this is a pathetic troll site where we don't discuss anything of importance. Plus, it makes it difficult for already-users to navigate throughout the forum....even if you add the spammer/s to your foes list, you can still see their topics on the main board and more than likely end up revealing their replies within posts (Even if you don't, you can see where they posted, and that's just annoying).

If I were an admin, I would probably be doing the same thing. Spam is spam, and when people like gangstarebel put up posts that have nothing but insults, vulgarities, horrible grammar, shallow-thinking, and basically all-that-is-a-spammer's-job, I want to see them gone; be it a temporary ban or permanent.

Spammers take so much away from a site like S-S. It's immature & pathetic, especially when anyone can become a member just to spam/troll & little to nothing will be done about it. I haven't been here for very long and I'm sick of it already. If gangstarebel had been on here before I was a member, I wouldn't have even bothered signing up....even with the understanding that all forums will have the occasional asshats who do nothing but spam. I just expected to see more professionalism on a site following a topic as important as what S-S is about.
