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.

WTF?
Was posting at school and got this. I hadn't posted in the thread yet. Might just be the school computer since it's a peice of shit but you never know. Might be worth looking into.

RE: WTF?
Is that Internet Explorer 9, by any chance? It seems that might have something to do with it... actually, come to think of it, I wonder if that was the cause of Nigel's problems as well...

That browser looks like IE8, IE9 has different back/forward buttons. Site's working beautiful with latest Firefox. Is it MyBB causing problems with IE?

School computers need IE... other web browsers make it hard for the viruses to get through

RE: WTF?
Works fine on Chromium - Linux, except that on some threads, on the last page number, I get an error: "The specified thread does not exist."

Replied, server choked, it didn't post :(
Let's try this again...

No, it's the other way around. IE9 has some weird way of handling Javascript that causes things to be posted twice. It's not just doing this with MyBB but with many sites.

The only thing I can think of is that while you were reading the thread, some of the posts got split, which would technically make the last page no longer exist, and then make that error come up. But then that wouldn't be specific to Chromium...

Yeah... like on the latest "what are you listening to" one. Guess it wouldn't be, too.
