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.

I troll your fucking threads because you act like retards, but it's still not censored. The good thing about the no censorship policy is that you can say something but I also have the right to say you're fucking retarded for it.

I would a future SS where a fuck like you would eventually be banned for posting this shit. Stop hiding behind this no censorship bullshit to defend your faggotry. I want all this to go.

By the way, that includes any crap I've posted.

Re: Thanks for fucking proving my point, guys

Oh, that's good, censor something you don't agree with, censor deviant viewpoints... now do you see why I called you and continue to call you a fucking retard? I would fucking stab you if I had the chance and delete your worthless posts but I'm not so STFU dickhead. So what this means is that your posts arguing against me are still out in the open so your voice gets heard which is the exact opposite of what you're proposing, if I were to censor things I didn't like (just as you're proposing censoring things you don't like) then it would prove your point that we don't listen to you. But I'm not so shut up you fucking hypocrite.

Who the fuck said anything about censoring deviant viewpoints? Censoring stuff I don't like?

You're fucking trolling you idiot. Jesus your blind.

Oh yea, when everyone started posting normal again you make a troll thread or some shit like that in caps, and then soul hides half the forum.

Re: Thanks for fucking proving my point, guys

I kind of understand strats and sefams point to put it in perspective its like.


Forum member: complains about administration

Admin: complain about member's complaints

members: *See it as an attack on their right*

Conflict starts when members assert they have the right to complain without an admin debuffing their accusations.


Which is in some cases fair seeing as an, admin has more influence than a member and can easily manipulate stuff if corrupted. Not any disrespect to the admins or Soul, but they're still only human and are as susceptible as anyone else.

Who am I? That is irrelevant.
What am I here for? That will become apparent.

It also shows that you're a failadmin, you post that shit in general. Other times mods moved your troll threads to the frag arena and you moved it back.

Possibly it should be in the frag arena and I'd listen to that, but the point I was trying to make is they were serious threads, if insulting, and moving it to the frag arena would just make the thread a joke. So, whatever, maybe it should be in the frag arena. But once again I want to stress that being a fail member and a fail admin aren't the same thing, if you can manage the forum properly then it shouldn't matter.

Troll threads are intentionally trolling, insulting threads are not necessarily troll threads. And whatever, I already said yeah, maybe they'd be better off in the frag arena.
