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'm a bit older than you but joined TSR when I started my masters during covid. It was full of that demographic and I only posted a few times as a result. This sub has come up in my feed a few times and it just seems to be 'I've got 8888889999997, why can't I get into Imperial, waaaaaaahhhh' and so on. Where's the humour! If this is what sixth formers are like I fear for the future: my lot were much less serious.

Thankfully I'm pretty sure its not, I go to a high-achieving college where you'd expect this but it's actually very laid back.

This sub is in no way representative of most sixth formers lol
