I miss it. People that weren't on EP don't understand.
@AlchemyFox That's exactly [b]it[/b].

@AlchemyFox absolutely

People speak very nostalgically about EP. Maybe because it’s gone. Personally, I remember all the problems SW has (the pervs, the harassers, the cliques) were much worse there.

I did like the anonymous confession section though.
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@Straylight yes it's hard to accept that it isn't here anymore. I really had a great time there and I met the person who gave me my son. Even if me and her aren't together anymore it was still very life-changing for me. I don't know any of the issues that this site haw had
Ynotisay · M
@Straylight You're right. It was different. The one thing I remember is that was a lot more talk about depression, people wanting to take their lives and more aggressive pervs.. But it did seem more active. Maybe that's just because online activity has changed.

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
It was the age of innocence
It was the age of guilt
We were all going to heaven
And we were all going straight to hell!!

I remember it like it was yesterday
I miss it like a waking dream or a whisper I heard somewhere in the place between this world and dreams.

@Muthafukajones
What's true and what's not relevant? What are you talking about?

@swirlie please go away

Yup. EP was way cooler than SW.
Deceased · M
@IamDRock Not sure what got lost in the transition but it was something vital to the formula. But back then literally every single person you chatted to didn't Irish goodbye either. So is it SW thats less cool or just people in general?
@Deceased I mean it had virtual cards!
A pet appreciation niche, (pet memorial alcove) .
Come on...

We created, authored and edited our groups with photos and the mini identifiers :
I had made over 1K of them :)

... Ahhh... It was MY happy safe place.
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON you and me both
Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F
Of course. Most of us started there amd migrated here.

I only knew it very superficially but maybe that's the reason why it seemed so good. I didn't even know there was some VIP or blocking. I only remember some guy I talked with and we exchanged our contacts at the end and then some mentally ill person who spammed a lot about being abused by their family. That spammer appeared here for a while too. Other than that, I remember some interactions but have no idea who it was with. I paid no attention to people's identity there, just the thoughts and opinions.
Heavenlywarrior · 36-40, M
Good times I’m happy I transferred all my posts here so I can go back and read them. Time flies
I still miss Billy - sure, he was an annoying twerp on EP... but he went up in my opinion on Relate2That.

I love that he stood up for us EP'ers when the admins tried to bully us all out - and it was a real scream when they blocked one account but not the 49 others he was trolling them with.

It probably won't happen, but I hope to be half the troll he was.

I feel like I romanticize my view of it...I find I tend to do that with the past sometimes. My memory tells me I enjoyed it but I feel like I'm a totally different person now than I was when I first joined it. Funny how so much of it has just become a blur. Quick mental images of people I knew and the interactions with them. Plenty of good memories and some bad to go with it.
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@Benjago I can relate to that. It wasn't all good. I spent so much time on ep that it kinda consumed me and I started to have a hard time telling what was real and what wasnt. It's hard to explain.. but there were a lot of bad times too for sure. I remember getting angry really easily when people made rude comments. But I made so many friends. Only one in which I still talk to.
Yes did you need the confessions
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@Kitsunex maybe?
Of course, that's where most of us came from 🤷
Anniedlr · 26-30, F
Almost everybody I would think🙂🐼🥢
MrsMONAKanful · 36-40, F
Kind of it’s been so long
solitaire · 41-45, F
Yep. Good old days
ABCDEF7 · M
It was my first social media experience, and it was good. I have few imported posts from there dating back to 2010.

It's been a very long time, I believe in moving ahead with the time.
eventtemple123 · 22-25, M
Some people on SW like to complain about the weird people and their stories. They wouldn't have lasted 5 seconds on EP.
Jessmari · 41-45
Yep. I pretty much stayed in my groups and avoided the Q&A section of the site like the plague.
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@Jessmari the q and a section is where I spent my time. I can see why you avoided it
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@Kitsunex really? That's no fun
@IamDRock makes me feel like ending my life
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@Kitsunex that makes me so sad to hear.. why do you feel this way
Yes, I was on there as a teen
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@MorbidCynic did you like it?
@IamDRock yeah I had a good time for the most part
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@MorbidCynic me too
ShadowDancer · 41-45, M
Yes I remember. I found it easier to chat to new people on there.
Convivial · 26-30, F
Anyone remember the Korean spammers.... That went on for weeks
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
I do.
And I remember you. We were buds.
(Babydoll42) 😀
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect we were? Your name looks so familiar. You should send me a message so we can talk
Keeper · M
I enjoyed logging in there. Here I don't.
softie · 31-35, M
I lurked on there but never participated.
I believe I was there, but I don’t remember
Lilymoon · F
Yeah it was cool miss the old gang
NewBeginnings7790 · 41-45, F
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@NewBeginnings7790 it's been so long since I've been here I wasn't sure if anyone else knew EP. I miss those days
@IamDRock Ambidextrous, 8footdread, Kittychannel, etc. Those were some very popular peeps and I was buddies with all of them.
Even made Kitty's number one :D !
Yeah... Good times <3

Sylph was a very special lady, I was in the clique for a bit. Then, she left EP. I loved her authenticity her eloquence and whimsy, she was unique and inspiring.
InHeaven · F
@IamDRock it was different than this. The anonymous confessions section, the stories I read there and was amazed. People actually wrote full blown friggen academic essays there… remember member names such as AftermathAfternath, ElfInSong, calicuz… I had few friends there also. I loved it.
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@InHeaven I don't recognize those names but I do remember the confessions and yes they were all amazing. Someone just sent me a archive link to the ep confessions. I found ep by typing in Google "I need a friend" and then I found do and the journey begun
InHeaven · F
@IamDRock ya, I already checked out that web archive link. Its awesome they still store it. I googled “ lonely life” and EP was first or second result…
WaafaS · 26-30, F
Yes. I was a member.
darknessprevails · 26-30, M
Yea. Great place.
Fluffybull · F
Quite a lot of us!
Melissa501 · 36-40, F
I think we all remember
Straylight · 31-35, F
I was on and off with EP.

Ah the good old days
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I was there but I have moved on from it. It was just a website 🤷🏼‍♀️
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@IamDRock It’s nice to have you here 🩷. Hope you find what you’re looking for.
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@iamonfire696 I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm actually hoping it finds me. Like it did when I was on ep
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@IamDRock well I hope that happens for you then
I think it is an automatic given that there will be people on an EP clone site that remember EP, and that good portion of the clone's user base will be former users of EP ... were you going anywhere specific with this?
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@BlueGreenGrey just wondering if there was anyone here that I might know. A few years back there wasn't a day I came on here that someone didn't recognize me. But now I don't recognize anyone
IamDRock · 41-45, M
@LordShadowfire I miss it
Hanginginthere · 31-35, M
yes it was way better than this site
