Who did you last send a gift to?

@Elandra77: In agreement again..Gestures are needed here, whiteboards, and empathy towards others.

@ColleenOhara: Yes! All are needed and all are lacking. It is no wonder so many get fed up and leave/ What REALLY is there here, of any value (key word) for them.?

I suggested gestures to a mod- their reply. "What are those"?

I send them this" A fun little piece frpm EP-and these are gestures! (use a PC)

@Elandra77: I like to send gifts, have suggested they do that. I do pay, hoping to see this site grow, and expand.

@ColleenOhara: Once I had hope for it. But no more. This place actively attract the wrong crowd. And something meaningful cannot be built form that. They keep getting asked to bring blogs back- and they keep referring to a reply by admin that they will NOT! Whiteboards, gestures and a "Shoutout" section (meaning it is NOT a question and NOT a story) and a favorites section are needed.

They care more about outsourcing ideas for gifts thy can charge for-than the addition of what many have asked for.

But I do suspect online games , that they charge for, are coming soon.

I am hopeful an app never see the light of day!

@Elandra77: Sighs, I still hold out for some hope here.

@ColleenOhara: I do as well. But it is thin. Of the alternative sites is the best- but it is not EP. Only cosmetically.

@Elandra77: What is an alternative site?

@ColleenOhara: answermug, relate2that, vent, a few others.

@Elandra77: I dislike answermug. I am on RTT..

I agree w/you two..

[/quote][quote]The bonds and intimacy that were on EP are not present here. Rather coldness and aloofness is.[/quote]Indeed Elandra. And A lot of attention seekers..

@ColleenOhara: Janet, the former owner, would not send me a "confirmation email" to join R2T- so screw them. Last i heard they were bleeding badly for money. Good. Not that I wish her ill- but she tuns a gestapo at that site. She is far from a puritan- as kittenwithawhip-on EP-she wrote some scathing erotica in her day. Guess the freedom of expression thing got lost on her at R2T

I went to AM after EP closed and BEFORE this place opened. It was a love/hate relationship. I rarely go back.

@Magenta: Thanks. I am glad we are not the only ones who may see it that way.
