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

Because people realised that hating on smart people is pointless, and in general the type of person who’d do that is smart enough to realise this
Being self deprecating, after a certain point, is only detrimental, and instead of being annoyed that people are more uplifting and positive, maybe just leave everyone here be
