Pretty much everything my friends told me at school when I was 16 was almost completely untrue and I've have done a lot better to just do the opposite of anything they said.
Wow o: your friends seem like they were pretty confused

We had no internet so everything was idle gossip. The stuff I heard about sex is unbelievable and unprintable. But here's an example of something else. My friend had a tetanus shot and he said it was delivered with a needle the size of a sword and the nurse took a run up! Everything was like that. I was constantly petrified.
Wow o: that sounds crazy! At least you have some cool stories to tell now though :)

Yeah, I think it's why I often try to give advice here, just because of the idiocy I suffered. I don't like to think of someone else in that position if I can do something about it! :)
Lol! That's a good idea. It was the whole point of the site and now look at it gah lol

Yeah, sadly I've only ever seen it while it's been like this. Maybe it can be turned around. These things go through ups and downs. I've seen it elsewhere.
You're right. Hopefully EP will be headed back upwards soon! It's always good to be positive about these things
GlassDog
Yeah, it only takes a couple of problem users to get bored and leave and then the positive users who later drop by decide to stay and then positivity begins to take a hold. Course, when it gets too positive, the trolls smell blood and back they come. It's like an equilibrium! :)
Exactly! It fluctuates, as life does o: makes sense I guess :)
