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.

SS NetHack succession game of sorts

Alright so I just had an idea, why don't we do a succession game of sorts with Nethack? I feel like this could be a fun and interesting experience.

How this will work:
A group of people can sign up for the succession game, which ends when the game is won or if the character dies(with some exceptions), it starts with one person who creates the character(details are decided by the group prior to the start), and the game beings. A forum thread is then made to document the progress of the game and each turn. After a certain amount of floors or at a certain player level or point the game is saved, and the save is sent to the next person in line. This continues until the list is over, afterwards it restarts until one of the two ending conditions are met.

Exceptions:
The first three 'turns' of a game may use SaveScumming in order to prevent the game from ending too quickly, the first turn may just restart the game completely though.

So yeah. I have no idea how well this will work, but I dunno why not at least try it.
Pretty Much my only signature...I'm mainly a lurker....you can find me on the IRC (or on DnE and their IRC).
