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.

Re: This site sucks.
Speaking of the admins, where the fuck are they? I had lemonparty in my signature for 3 or 4 days before tinypic deleted it. The fact that tinypic got to it before they removed it is rather bothersome.

She did. Then she came back and bitched about the site. Then she left again. And then she came back and bitched some more. I guess you can see the pattern now.

Talk about an annoying patte--... Wait. She's female?
Dear god.
I knew some ladies could be particularly bitchy, but to repeatedly leave, come back, and bitch about the same things with no end? I was convinced Kitsune was male.
... Buuut that's off-topic. To follow Tuttle's example, why must you constantly return to a site you obviously believe sucks? Leave us to rot in our fellating web address.

Because it's the last bastion of anti-school and it seems even it's members can't comprehend what they're doing? Let's leave for all your goddamn elitist pleasures and make another website that no one here will fucking join. Jesus, every intelligent member left and some are requesting to have all their posts deleted from this forum and they are DENIED.
Just leave if you believe it sucks. What a sick joke. =|
And I'm a guy. That doesn't mean I shouldn't be bitchy and should be macho because you said so.

I agree.
But, if you don't like a lot of the forum, just stay away from any of the Lounge sub-forums.

Re: This site sucks.
Why do people tends to judge their gender based on their name? It's one of the worse method to determine their gender and judging their gender from what they posts without the fact that they reveal their gender related to the biological effects of the gender or their gender admittance is one of the worse way to make an educated guess what gender they are. Last time I check, male tends to use "female username" while females use "male username"
ZZZ...

Re: This site sucks.
Hahahaha. I wondered when you would start up again. Old habits really do die hard, don't they?
Psst. You wanna know why the admins and mods aren't falling over themselves to rectify every possible complaint you have? They have lives outside this forum. We all do, save for a select few. I, for example, have a chess team to lead. Soulriser has a life to be getting on with. Wolfeh took off. So did thunder. Fist and Cory are the only active admins. The rest stay away for whatever reasons. And I'd like to see you start claiming "ELITISM." on fist and Cory. Nobody's going to believe your shit.
As for mods, Aviator, hewhodestroysall, and random_name are pretty much the only ones who stop in on a regular basis, and they haven't done a damn thing wrong. Save for maybe giving more of a damn about keeping their life off the internet going than cleaning up every stupid thing that |55555| does.
Oh, as for all the intelligent members leaving, I want you to think about what you're saying, and then I want you to reflect on when they left. Oh, hey, wasn't it most often immediately during or after drama? You don't get to take a shit in the room and then come in and start bitching when everyone leaves because of the smell. And I'm willing to bet that you don't even know a quarter of the story involved with the deletion of posts.
For the record, I never saw |55555|'s lemonparty signature. Not once.
Kitsune, your arguments are without merit and we can all tell that you're probably just seeking attention, again. We don't care, things are going perfectly fine, stuff it.

Some people do it automatically. Like me.
I can't help it, I don't take the thought seriously, but I still play the guessing game.

The forums seem pretty fine to me (when I'm actuall here), apart from the occasional security issue and some random troll. At least people are making decent posts. XD

Oops. Sorry 'bout that |55555|, it was supposed to be "every stupid thing that |55555| or anyone else does." Guess I tabbed away and forgot about putting on the last bit of that sentence. You aren't bad, anymore. I just have to give you shit every now and again.
I honestly have to agree with Soul. There's comparitively little drama, Justin gets banned whenever he pops up, and post quality is actually improved significantly. I would honestly rate the post quality as up there with the "good old days" right now. Only difference is that I grew mature and intelligent faster than the forum, so I'm always asking for more.
