🗣 Useful links for SW newbies (and non-newbies)! 🗣

When you’ve been around for a while, it can start to feel like everything is obvious on SW. But there’s a few hidden places and information that are used a lot but aren’t linked anywhere, so new users probably won’t have found them. So I’m making a list to help you all out :D and feel free to contact me if you need any help with anything else SW-related.

And if you’re an old member with something else that should be on this list please lemme know 😌 I will add to it over time. Also I’m pinning this to my profile so this doesn’t become a hidden link too 🤣

This is by far the most commented post on the site 👀 it’s a simple word association game that’s been being played non stop by a lot of users basically since SW started. Go to the Newest First page to find the most recent answers and you should get the gist of it pretty quick.

I wish there was a way to pin posts like this in certain categories/groups. It'd be a nice start.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@adorbz Genius! But then, with my luck, they would come back, reactivate their account, and see all my "note-to-self" entries about all you peeps! 😲
adorbz · 26-30, F
@sarabee1995 they would reveal how much you secretly hate us 😱
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@adorbz Not in your case 😏
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
This is awesome. I've been here since day two and I didn't know about the word game threads!!

But you forgot the link to my About Me page. Obviously an oversight so all is forgiven. 😌
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@adorbz and you can add links to my Plague Diary series, my War Stories, and to the Yulianna and Sara Island Girl Productions...

if this seems like an ego trip, you are probably right! 😂
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@adorbz You are correct. Circle only feed of posts (not comments) is what I typically have going on. It's not that I don't want to know what you all are doing here, is just that I'm only here for an hour or two most days and struggle to keep up with your posts nevermind your comments. 🤷‍♀️
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Yulianna Yes, indeed! These are critical things for any newbies!
SW-User
Aww you're so lovely


*not being sarcastic either*
adorbz · 26-30, F

Yulianna · 22-25, F

adorbz · 26-30, F

I need a idiots guide.. 🤦‍♀️
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@SW-User Ty. Wish me luck?! 🙏
adorbz · 26-30, F
@Harriet03 maybe I’ll make a quick guide for this too 🤪
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@adorbz
Carazaa · F
Wow thanks, but how do I get a heart next to my name like you have ? 🤔
adorbz · 26-30, F
@Carazaa that's a VIP symbol! You can choose from a heart, star or the ugly vip rectangle things
adorbz · 26-30, F
Carazaa · F
@adorbz OK, thanks!
Peaches · F
Isn't @Fungirlmmm doing her "Writer's Weekly Challenge" anymore?🤔 Great post, ⭐ thank you!😊
adorbz · 26-30, F
@Peaches it doesn’t seem like it but I never even heard of that 😅
Peaches · F
@adorbz Oh WOW...it was a great thing she did. She'd give out words and you'd make a story from them. She'd have a different theme each week. ⭐
funfan · 46-50, M
Thanks so much for taking the time to put all this together!👏👏👏👏 You definitely rock! 🤘 It should be pinned to the top of this page. :)
Primeraven · 36-40, F
Definitely helpful! Thank you Adorbz! 💓
SW-User
OMG! 😯 My old post is in the news! 🤩
adorbz · 26-30, F
@SW-User that post is what inspired me to make this 😆 I hadn’t seen it before so I knew there’s no way newbies would
