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.

I'm just going to come out with it.
I want an admin to delete my posts. I've been trying to do it myself without causing a big fuss, but this'll take too much time. Zherny refuses to do it, and at this point, fuck the peace at the forums, I just want this done.

Yeah, it kinda matters. Soul has said that she won't delete all your posts unless you have very good reason.

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
In our defense, there wasn't much we could do. You already said he wasn't going to respond to the usual arguments, and that's all we have. The usual arguments. Also, mystery posted actual false facts for us to verify and/or disprove, we have no idea what he was saying...

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
Did I ask for you to defend yourselves? No. Well, if soul doesn't do this for me, she's an asshole. If she doesn't, I'll delete them all myself, which is a complete waste of time.

I'm not sure. I guess it's just the fact that there is a very, very slight chance that he's not trolling... That and the fun of disproving someone. Anyway, I only replied once... Just saying.
Edit:

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
Two things:
1. Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on here that pissed Cray off so much?
2. Deleting posts without reason, especially that fucking many, causes problems on the forums. Stop being so selfish.

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
No one will delete your posts.
Last year, when someone breached my security, I requested several admins to delete all of my posts. If that someone had decided to call my house and tell my parents about my internet history, I'm confident I would've been sent to a behavior modification camp. Still, after telling this to Soul, she refused to do anything other than reset my password.

It'd be quite easy to ban your server from the site.

No. Ignore what? I've been turning a blind eye to everything bad in my life. And look where it's gotten me.

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
Crayola, Calm down. This is an internet message board. I know dramatic shit happens on here and I myself have gone through the bullshit that happens but step back for a moment. This is a website. You can always leave and come back later, or just leave and never come back, But the deletion of your posts would mess the forums up for alot of other people.
If you really feel like the need to abolish your identity in this society change your username and avatar, Along with your bio stuff. The conversation will not be harmed.
Had to move on. Account is dead.

Maybe you all can suck it up and live with it? There's no doubt in my mind I'm not coming back, and to assure myself that it doesn't happen, I'm deleting my posts. But, of course, I'm getting a huge shitfit thrown at me, because "THE FORUMS ARE SRS BUSINESS YOU GUYS"

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
Nazism jokes aren't bad things.
Neither is nazism, in the literal sense.
The reichs? Yeah. Bad. Killing Jewish people? Yeah. Bad. Your dad? Yeah. Bad.
Jokes about these things, not so much. Well, maybe about your dad.

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
Sleep on it.
This isn't really something you should do on an impulse. For the last couple of years, you have compiled a massive amount of writings, opinions, jokes and more on these forums, and you want to throw all of that away because people pay attention to trolls?
Seriously, give it a day or two before you do something that you may regret...
These forums may not be a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but these forums have definitely helped define some of my views, and helped me develop my personality on at least some level... I'm probably not mistaken in assuming it's the same for you.

You seem to have forgotten a key aspect of the forum; we don't really give a shit.
And it was a thread.
With Mystery in it.

No, you're getting a shit fit thrown at you because you want someone else to take the time to delete 11K posts you've written during your time on this site. Which is bullshit. You took the time to write them, you can take the time to delete them yourself motherfucker.
And another thing: If you were really so dead set on leaving this site you would not have made this thread or started this arguement in the first place. You would've just signed off and never returned. So please, do us all a favor and either pull the stick out of your ass or give it a good twist. Either way, shut the fuck up.

Admins have a button that deletes every post someone's ever made. I wouldn't ask someone to delete every single post for me. I'm asking because it would be a million times easier for an admin.

Like I said, I don't want any of my posts here, and I would rather not take a shitton of time to do it, when someone else can do it so easily.

Re: I'm just going to come out with it.
By removing you from the forum, a huge amount of topics on this forum will not make sense...particularly from the last year or so. It would be a bigger inconvenience for the members of the forum than you. It's noteworthy to mention you could have easily made this topic in admins/mods, but I will take a guess as to why you didn't. You want your leaving to mean something. To maybe bring awareness to a forum in conflict.
You obviously care about the forum, and though I won't claim to know whats best for you....I tend to hold onto the things I care about.
