How would you react if it was announced that SW was shutting down?

To be honest, I would probably just be like, "Oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️" and move on 😂😂😂.

I'd breathe a secret sigh of relief

I would be ok. The people I want to speak with have other ways of chatting.

I just hope this this site doesn't shut down before Trump gets impeached or voted out, because the butthurt here is going to be epic

Oh I’d be unhappy and try to find a suitable alternative . I like my friends on here and the format . It’s my “ home” in cyber space ...
TexChik · F
@saragoodtimes there are alwAys other sites. I just like this one 😊
@TexChik you've become such a cherished friend
TexChik · F
@saragoodtimes Aww ! Thank you ! 😘

It's not going to close and if it did, oh well, it's not like it's changing my life.. I can get phone numbers of my friends
plungesponge · 41-45, M
I hope not, I've invested all my life savings here
@plungesponge LMAO hoarder. Could've used it to buy people gifts
I wouldn't want that to happen because I would miss some friends on here. It is easy and comfortable to navigate this sight, unlike others I've tried.

I wouldn't be upset, just a little disappointed. This site does have promise and sometimes I enjoy being here. I've not been able to find a website like SW - or EP when it was up and running, so I feel trying to search for something similar would be a difficult task.
Nanori · F
I would sit back and watch everyone who's attached to this site suffer
@Nanori yea as you can tell I wasn't all that offended by it
@Nanori besides at least she did me a favor and blocked me lol
SW-User
@Nanori Yeah, like the people who specifically use this site for political crap.
They might as well shut it down it's a dead site anyway

@TexChik 👋

@ExperienceDLT Addiction? Well there's your problem. Addicted to a "dead site". That's funny. 😂

Wouldn't care. Only been here barely a week. Not exactly time to become invested in the place.

I have a life to live.
rjc36 · 56-60, M
I would be a bit disappointed and sad because I would lose touch with some of the people I enjoy here.
MrPerditus1 · 61-69, M
I'd be a bit upset. It's a place for me to vent, interact with like minded people (not all) and it's a nice distraction. I've made a few friends here, I think. I know I would find something else to fill my time, but I'd still miss it.

Especially on long, quiet nights when I can't sleep, which is every night. 😖
SW-User
@MrPerditus1 I only have a couple friends here but I would probably miss it a bit.
MrPerditus1 · 61-69, M
@SW-User I don't have many on here myself, but I don't reach out to ask for them. I let them ask me, only because I feel that with my sex and age, it can come across pervy. lol So, I don't bother people about it. I feel lucky to have the ones I do.
I'd be bummed out, but I'd probably be more efficient at work 😬
@FigNewton Haha haha same
midnightsun · 26-30, M
I already met a few people I love as friends who have my phone number , and I also met my girlfriend on this site.

I can't ask for anything more. If sw is shutting down then I would have to spend time finding a new site that lets me anonymously rant and share stuff.

Except that, I don't really give a shit
Yeah same here. I’d just look for another site
SW-User
Say goodbye to friends :( and go on with life.
TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F
I would see if anyone wanted to stay in touch (probably by email), and then try to keep in touch with them. And I would try to do a better job of it than I did after EP shut down.

I would feel a little sad, but maybe just a tiny part of me might be a bit relieved too. It wouldn't be quite the huge loss that EP was.
SW-User
I wouldn't be terribly bothered. My closest friends already have other ways to contact me. But I'd have to find somewhere else to vent, lol.
xixgun · M
I'd be appreciative of the warning.
I was on a site for 6 years and one day, it was just gone.
No warning, no notice, no chance to gather emails of friends.
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
I talk to most of my friends here elsewhere anyway. I guess I'd just have to go back to mindlessly scrolling Reddit.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
There are a few people I would share my contact info with to stay in touch. Then just wait for it to close down.
ReneeT · 61-69, M
@Pinkstarburst I would also. Some people here are really nice to engage with

I'd be pretty bummed. Have a few good friends that I would truly miss hanging out with on this site. But perhaps we'd find somewhere new.
Fawma123 · 46-50, M
There is life away from SW only really use this site in winter when there's not much else to do.
SnoopDawg · 26-30, M
Treat it like nothing ever happened.

Won't effect me like EP did.
there would be something else to take its place
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
Yes I'm quite sure I would survive fine.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
Same here, Rose.

I was on EP but I left it before it closed anyway (I did not know that would happen.

You could always ask your nearest SW Friends if they'd like to be personal e-post correspondents.

@SW-User I don't have too many friends on here but there are good people I enjoy interacting with, such as yourself, so I would be a little sad.
I'll THROW A DAMN FIT AND LITERALLY TAKE EVERYONE'S EMAIL OR WHATSAPP AND MAKE A GROUP CHAT OVER THERE UGHHHH.

I'll light a candle to St. Felicia, and move on.

I'd miss the people... Verbal jousting is always fun!
eMortal · M
Nothing. Another one will pop up
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
I'd be pretty bummed about it.

I would be sad 😪
Oh well.. 🤷‍♂️ 8)
