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.

'Scuse me whilst I air out my vage.
It's insanely awesome how I find out about it four days before it comes out.

I really should play Morrowind, I hear the story kicked Oblivion's story's ass.
Yes, I agree, HELL FUCKING YESSSSSSSS!
I'm gonna walk into school with that book, thus becoming the social outcast of the decade, but do I care? Shit no, because it's muthafucking Oblivion.

Meh, the graphics on Morrowind were pas mal compared to Oblivion, and the whole thing is basically miniquests....like Oblivion....but it's a good game for when it came out.

Re: ATTN: Oblivion fags
DO WANT
I played both games a thousand times, Oblivion has a much better combat system, but Morrowind's gets tolerable after a while. Morrowind is a much creepier game with many easter eggs and features, objects, spells, etc, removed in Oblivion.
Morrowind can get much more fun with mods, but too many can mess it up.

Re: ATTN: Oblivion fags
Epic bump is epic.
I'm reading the book right now.
It's awesome, I think you can read the first chapter on their official website.

Oh come the fuck on. Are graphics the only things that matter to you? So far I've fought tooth and nail against the stereotype that Americans only care about eye candy, but I'm seeing evidence that sort of disappoints me.
Morrowind has a tonne of graphic mods if that's what you care about, and a lot of improvement mods, even HUGE story mods. [Google "TR2: Antediluvian Secrets"]

Re: ATTN: Oblivion fags
Exactly. I mean, the graphics can't be complete shit, it's always a contributing factor. I would prefer better graphics over worse graphics. But I heard that Morrowind was definitely better than Oblivion, I'd have to try it out myself though. I've played a lot of older games with second rate graphics compared to today's standards, and loved them.

Oh calm the fuck down. No, graphics are not the only thing in a game that matter to me, and I did say that MORROWIND WAS A GOOD GAME. I'd thank you not to stereotype me according to the fact that I live in the US, as I could give a shit less about where I live.

Nice use of tense there. Now that Oblivion's out, Morrowind's pretty much blown out of the water. Right? Wrong. The only thing good about Oblivion is its engine, and that's about all. Oh, and the mods.
Anyway, I heard they were trying to port Morrowind into Oblivion's engine, but I don't know if Bethesda would like that.
Edit: I'm sorry if I offended you or seemed aggressive... I'm sort of defensive when it comes to things I like.

Oh for chrissake....taking it too seriously when it comes to tenses. I meant 'was' because I played it a while ago, not meaning that it isn't still a good game.
I like both games. Don't know which one I prefer since I haven't played either in a while. I'm not attacking Morrowind. I'm not on the fanbase bandwagon for Oblivion. They're video games, so I don't really give too much of a shit about them.
I sound pretty defensive about it too....for some reason unbeknown to me...lol. So no worries on either or our ends, then.
