I Have a Question

Can we made a new group here or only admin is able to do it?
Serenitree · F
So far, even admin aren't creating any new groups. All the groups were imported from EP. Until they have time to integrate all similar groups and delete all the abandoned ones, it is unlikely that there will be any new groups created by anyone.

@Teirdalin: okay. Not going to argue.

@Serenitree: Ran a quick calculation, seems the site has an estimated value of:
$54,000
with a daily income estimated to be:

Estimated revenue per day:
$ 158 / day
Estimated revenue per month:
$ 4,740 / month
Estimated revenue per year:
$ 56,880 / year

Which you're right, is pretty low for a whole team, but there is only like one admin and two or so mods that I can think of; and mods aren't generally paid all that much on places like this if at all. xD

18,984,600 pageviews / year

If they step up the ads a bit, or have some strategy with the ad selection algorithm or add a little "Please disable adblock" it'd boost profits a lot.

@Teirdalin: okay. I won't disagree. They have income. But before they started this site, I know at least one of them had a job in some field, (can't recall what, but probably something to do with computers) that I'm sure he loves, and probably spent a good deal on education. Maybe still paying off student loans.

My point is......this isn't a million dollar site. EP is dead, yet their income had to be 100 times or more what this one generates. I know they had legal troubles, but they were also in some serious financial trouble.

I'm just glad to have SW. I tried a dozen other sites and couldn't get comfortable. I've also noticed that a large number of the people who hate this site have been here, expressing that hate and their right to do so, almost since day one. Gotta love the haters. They're the ones who will never buy memberships, so the advertisers get them. And yes, I know all about Adblock. Before buying my membership, I tried it. I don't know how it works on wired computers, but on wireless, it was a disaster. The screen kept jumping around. I think it was trying to fill in all the spaces that the ads would have been occupying, but there wasn't enough content to do so.

[c=#7700B2]The theory is that there are enough groups already (from the old EP) although sometimes they dangle the possibility that we may be able to make our own groups some day.[/c]

Thanks to you all.. I just thought there are some groups that are missing from EP.
Serenitree · F
@Kalina: not likely, missing. I've been told there are hundreds of thousands of groups. Many of them are duplicates, and triplicates, and even twenticates.

I see, thank you for those information.

As like what? You can probably find a way to make something fit an existing group. Be aware though, if you post the same on several at once, you will get flamed, I recently did.

that is sometimes difficult, my skin is sometimes not thick enough.

@samueltyler2: the things that make me block people are more likely to be their treatment of others, not me. Or if I find that they are all about grossing us out. Or if there is nothing but sexual content in their posts and responses, but they don't have their profile set to adult. I avoid blocking anyone who provokes me, because I'm very stubborn and won't give them the satisfaction. I do, however refuse to interact with them anymore.

I've discovered that the ones who tend to dislike me most and get rude with me, are the ones who either don't get my silly sense of fun, or have no sense of humour at all.

If I begin avoiding someone and they begin stalking me to attack me when I answer someone else, then I report them as well as saving screen shots of the offending posts. I've discovered that some like to attack you, and when they are quite certain you've seen it, they delete the attack. That's the reason for the screen shots.

Thanks, i agree totally
Teirdalin · 31-35
There is no normal "I like sandwiches" group somehow. 🤔
Serenitree · F
@Teirdalin: I'd love groups that don't start with I.
Teirdalin · 31-35
@Serenitree: Same. I Teirdalin is Awesome only really ever applies to me.
