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.

[GoSS 3] Outrageous Dreams

A place to talk about things you want to do in GoSS 3 but can't becuase of the limits. Not trying to convince GoSS 3 to change the rules just talking about some outrageous dreams. Like the title says.

For me I really want to make a character that's a robot but feel I shouldn't becuase it would be too advanced.

There is also finding Jupiter which might not exist in this universe. So yeah...

[GoSS 3] Outrageous Dreams

I'd like there to be a storyline, but we don't have enough active GoSS players to actually accomplish anything :(

Also, trying to wrap my head around how there can be modern-day technology in countries like, say, Luvania, when the Cadsira setting is ostensibly pre-imperialist on account of dragons (which are inhibiting territorial expansion, which in turn inhibits each country's ability to obtain resources, which significantly slows down the rate at which things are invented). Though obviously we can all employ a lot of hand-waving here.

Not to mention that it would probably be difficult for any of us to colonize the moon, especially considering we can't even seem to accomplish it well enough in real life.

We "can". We just won't/don't.

I take it that conquering the entire rest of the world by myself is out of the question?
