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.

Going away a few days
Okay, so.
I think I'll be leaving for a few days.
No, I'm not going anywhere, but it's damn frustrating to keep getting logged out and timed out every single moment.
Gratz Baron, Elfy and Hannah on your graduation. Enjoy the freedom.
I'll return when shit's back to normal.
And I actually thought, for a while, that this was SR fucking with us for being shitposters and trolls. Like that Vbulletin plugin where you can inflict time outs and redirects on users you can't stand.

Re: Going away a few days
Apparently there's a DDoS attack ensuing. Also, I'm leaving to. I'm going to be in the mountains. If my friend picks up his phone ffs... If not, I'll be around.

lulz. I remember reading about that plugin a while back and giggling at the pure evil genius of it. 
There's another one where you can put someone on 'global ignore' so nobody can see their posts except them. So they think everyone's ignoring them. 
Ah, I could be having so much fun with you guys... Why does Vbulletin get all the fun plugins? :waah:

#1.) I'm back.
#2.) The phpBB coders are moral fags and try not to create software that can be used for spying/trolling/immoral shit.
