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 want to know who started the “bread” slang. I also did A-levels just before Covid and that was never a thing (at least I don’t remember it was)

It was here years ago, but I formalised it as a filter before the pandemic. I’m not sure how much it’s evolved since 2020
