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.

I'm done with this crock of shit forum once and for all.
Yea, I'm done for real now.
I've tried to stay for more time because of a few persons on the site but now I'm just not able to support all the douchebags(Abusive IRC mods especially), the trolls(Actually, some of you are funny but most of you suck bad) and the morons spoiling the quality of the site anymore and even some of the older members which I thought were decent just turned to the face of light and became douches, assholes or just trolls.
Most of the good members are just gone, remember when you guys posted Chiisu images saying "We won't forget"(or something like that) in your signatures because he was arrested because of a troll/hacker(Yet that same asshat is allowed on the forums, IRC and post his dick yet not be banned)? He came back to the site and left a few weeks after because of the state in which the forums were gone to since his departure.
Absolutely nothing is done about it on either the IRC or the forums, which is pathetic. I'm sorry SoulRiser, this is my opinion; I think you have no spine( © Canide ;p ) and suck at managing a community site on which users have a voice, you also have no influence on most of your members. It's been months since the forum aren't decent and literally nothing is done but people sitting on their asses and waiting.
Making a huge load of members moderators won't solve how much your site's forum just suck ass. In fact, it just makes it worse because on the forums some of those same moderators seem to be ok with trolling AND trolling/being douchebags to the other members thus nothing is being done about the trolls and the garbage-ish quality of posts. And on IRC because those same moderators keep abusing and making it a elitist haven by literally pissing off by kickbanning/literally banning people they don't want to see. Any sane person wouldn't have given the moderator status to half of the moderators and the admin status to a lot of the current admins on this site considering they knew what their true face was.
Returning to why I think Soul has no spine or weight against HER site's members. I've complained about the IRC being shit and mods being abusive. SoulRiser removed all the OPs powers thus they all boycotted the channel and created their own and SoulRiser fell for it(and gave them back their OP powers on this channel) then set up a bunch of rules to follow. Those rules are not even being slightly enforced, people still get kicked/banned as the moderators see fit(For instance, if someone don't agree with them. Which I think is ironic considering this site's stance on school and forced conformism) and moderators rule the IRC by their number while it's not even theirs.
Just look in the suggestions forum, I've made a suggestion to make a parallel site without a link leading to the forums. The forums are so bad that it makes the rest of the site not credible and make the community look like little kiddies.
I'm simply sick of this site, being banned from the IRC on midnight for the "lulz" was the last straw for me. Goodbye. If you come to troll, I hope you choke on this forum's contents in a few months.
Puchiko, Random_name, Hanhan, Wolfeh-> I'l keep contacting you all.

I think you should stick it out, but I suppose that's your decision.
Bye.

Re: I'm done with this crock of shit forum once and for all.
I still think the forums aren't that bad, and I'm still pissed at leaving threads but I agree with the part about kicking.
Edit: Stay. Stay and complain about the abuse every time it happens. Maybe they'll learn to stop. Tit for tat is the only way.

I've been doing that for one week and no one does shit about it. They won't stop because they think it's funny and they don't have any repercussions anyway.

At least until he went into persecution complex mode and kicking him led to longwinded rants that are entertaining to read.
