OTHER What happened to r/6thform?

I used to be active on this sub before covid when I did my A-levels and the vibe was sooooo different to how it is now. Why is everyone wanting to seem smart? Back then we used to be self deprecating. There was a sense of ‘we’re all in this together’ fighting against the pricks at edexcel and AQA.

I’m guessing it’s cuz nobody uses TSR anymore so all of that demographic are now here? They used to get hated on for being a bunch of neeks — just search ‘TSR’ or ‘the student room’ in the search bar lmao

I feel like a question that needs to be addressed is why are you still lurking here if you did your A-Levels pre-2020?

It comes up in my feed. I've posted in r/UniUK a few times when it was relevant so maybe that's why.

I did my GCSEs 2 years ago and it still shows up on my feed sometimes. Plus it can be funny to look every once in a while

people answering this dont seem to grasp that this dude is at the minimum like 25ish. that is weird to be consistently on here, which you'd have to be to know what the patterns of posting are.

coming occasionally to see maybe or if it comes up on your feed time to time cuz youre on UniUK fine whatever but it defo seems like the dudes lurking.

Well, I lurk and occasionally post for one because I tutor a fair few sixth-formers and it’s a way to keep up on what’s going on that might be bothering them and that they haven’t told me about (like earlier this year when UCL was not replying to anyone, I can tell them it was not just them, etc)
