So how did you end up here at SW?

I was floating adrift in the vast ocean of the universe when @Bexsy caught me in her fishing net trying to get chocolate fishes.......the rest is history I guess!

I was a member of Quora, which is a huge site with millions of members and is actually headquartered in Silicon Valley California not far from where I live.

I was the top 10 writer in five categories and the #1 writer in three. Not an easy task for a site that large, I promise.

I loved it there when out of the blue I was told that my Posts were too sexually explicit and I was being banned from the site.

I had many great friends there and cried for 3 days :(

I have still not fully gotten over it even though it was about 10 years ago.

I eventually discovered this site. I love it here but I wish it had a larger membership is all.

I know, its hard. We been though three websites together. That's a long time

But I will be here for at least a year and half yet. You have my promise on that. I'm here though 2026. So I have time to change my mind.

When you have paid a account you don't want to though money away and just leave.

Besides I have many great friends here that make it hard to leave. You're One of them great friends

@HumanEarth
I still find it hard to post a heart to a reply that even hints that you would ever be thinking of leaving us.

Members like you are the glue that holds sites like this together.

Few compare.

I'm sorry

Was orphaned by EP and came here, but started EP after a series of terrible losses I was grieving in 2013. It certainly was the best thing for me at the time bc my friends were getting exhausted from me having such a hard time and I needed a new resource for support. I needed round the clock friendship. And I found it here! Well, there, at EP, and then I just graduated here.
I too am a "refugee" from Experience Project. I joined that site in late 2009, so between that site and SW, there are posters I’ve been speaking with now for 10-15 years. 🤯
Pretty amazing.
@bijouxbroussard I entered EP around the same time I guess, 2008 or 2009. We never met there, though I saw your name overthere.
@Thewhazzupdude I remember your username too, but I wasn’t sure if it was from there.
@bijouxbroussard In there I was part of the furniture
AllycatAD · 26-30
I was an Experience Project refugee, I heard about SW from a friend, came on here when much of it was still under development.

I took a long break from it and came back.
the only other social platform I'm on is Farce book, err, Facebook and a former user of IMVU.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@AllycatAD Can't stand facebook lol.
AllycatAD · 26-30
@Silentpleasure yeah I have friends there who have been given many a time out for posts not up to Community standards, here you can "let your hair down" as long as you follow guidelines Farce Book doesn't have those options
DHggmu · 31-35, M
Like many others, I was on EP and transferred here after. I’m only still here because I have met a few people that I enjoy talking to, otherwise I’d be long gone..
I was on another website and a friend recommended trying this place. I'd never heard of it but I signed up and I've been here ever since. I really forget how long that is but it's years.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@UBotMate Amazing how time flies when you are being tormented by SW lol
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
@UBotMate What would we do without you, our fishy friend.
ReneeT · 61-69, F
I was a member of EP for quite a while. After it closed up I didn't know where to go, but this site popped up in my email, and the rest is history
HiFiRaver · 18-21, M
I found it a couple years ago, created an account, then realized when you're under 18 you can't do much here. I pretty much forgot about it until this month and rejoined (now 19). I wasn't sure I was going to even post, but it became addicting very quickly. 😳
PaleandPolluted · 36-40, F
EP refugee. Found EP from stalking am ex and someone had the same username as him on there.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@PaleandPolluted Never heard that one before....thanks for sharing :D
wildfl0wer · 41-45, F
I had an account on EP briefly and deleted it, but went looking for the site a couple years later only to find it had closed and this was suggested as a replacement...
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
Honestly I ended up here by accident I had left before EP shut down but then I found out it was closed so I took a break for a little while did a web search he told me about this place and there I was
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
I randomly found Experience Project and liked it. Moved over here when EP shut down.
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@Silentpleasure I find this place has a much better sense of community than any other social media site.Helps me get through the day.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@DunningKruger I would second that sentiment
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@Silentpleasure Unfortunately, my best online friend got banned and I've yet to find someone to fill that void. Even so, it's nice to be here and chat with the folk.
twiigss · M
I came from Yahoo answers. Like the last couple of days I was on YA and saw in some posts to come to similarworlds. So I made an account here and yeah that's my story
tfan123 · 46-50, M
I am on girlsaskguys.com and someone mentioned this site. I checked it out and voila - here I am.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@tfan123 You poor soul......Welcome :D
Bowenw · 61-69, M
A suggestion from a friend.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Bowenw Did they not like you ?
Bowenw · 61-69, M
@Silentpleasure Good point, but so far I'm enjoying it.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Bowenw Glad to hear it :D
I was at Yahoo Answers and it was closing. Someone there suggested SW so I came and checked it out.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@ElwoodBlues That is a new one. Never heard of Yahoo Answers.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@DrWatson Why would you even say that!
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@Silentpleasure I am referring to the current situation in the US with refugees and deportation.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@DrWatson But I have my visa for SW 👀
Matt85 · 36-40, M
dan told me about them
Degbeme · 70-79, M

@Degbeme lol I can't argue that
UndeadSona · F
EP refugee, it was annoying because I had been looking for a place like EP for a while
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@UndeadSona I think we all did when they shut it down
@UndeadSona tbfh?
UndeadSona · F
@TryingtoLava Fr tbfh 😮‍💨 I had been to a bunch of different places before, questionable places
hunkalove · 70-79, M
I was looking for the perfect pancake recipe. Still looking.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@hunkalove Don't recommend using any from this site lol
hunkalove · 70-79, M
@Silentpleasure Now you tell me. I've only been here 6 years.
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
I joined late on EP then followed on to here. The rest is history.
James1956 · 61-69, M
I came over from EP
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@James1956 Very much so
I came here from the chans where anonymous started. The pseudo anonymous nature of sw kept me here.
I was on Yahoo! Answers, and it shut down, so I started looking for other sites and found this.
Keeper · M
The EP stories drew me in.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Ferric67 I also feel there was a better structure in the stories and able to find the ones that you liked easier.
Ferric67 · M
@Silentpleasure my feed is slow, outdated and not very functional
I'd like to see all new and current posts, not just the ones of the last three days that this algorithm wants me to see
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Ferric67 Exactly!!
I was looking up Bible verses 😂

@Kiesel I have a feeling most of us are lol
A friend I had from EP who has since passed away, and stayed on EP longer than I did, later told me about SW but it was a year or two after that until I decided to make an SW account just to check it out for the heck of it
pdockal · 56-60, M
I was looking for chocolate fishies of course
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Bexsy Forgot to make that right turn at the light house I fear.
EP brought me here.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@HootyTheNightOwl Ok I deserve that answer.
@Silentpleasure

It was way too irresistible - and easy... 🤣🤣🤣
This is where my mother ship dropped me off
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@MarbleMarvel Because they concluded that this was the place best suited for you?
@DrWatson no, I think I did something wrong to deserve this 😆
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@MarbleMarvel Greetings from a fellow inmate!
RunTheJulz · 46-50, F
EP died and I think I googled “similar sites” and voila…
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@TryingtoLava Oh the plot thickens lol
@TryingtoLava @Silentpleasure

XDHyperGirlXD1 · 31-35, F
@Ducky no :( i guess we didnt know each other back then :/

i only know you as the ducky 🥺
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
I was trapped in a large room full of boobs. I was able to escape suffocation and bring a few of the best with me here.
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
@Silentpleasure but I was here first. 😛
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Ambroseguy80 Yeah but I am sexier :P
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
@Silentpleasure true, but it’s all in the eye (or other socket) of the beholder. 😏
NinaTina · 26-30, F
I tripped

MrGrumpy · M
Stumbled upon this insanity ward. Haven’t found an exit yet
MrGrumpy · M
@Silentpleasure Now I can’t shake the visual out of my mind. Thanks 🙄
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@MrGrumpy You knew the risk coming here......
MrGrumpy · M
@Silentpleasure What can I say, I like taking risks. Grumpy and risky 😜
MrGomco · 36-40, M
That was the only alternative after EP closing.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@MrGomco The sad truth
Isn't this were all the broken people end up?
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@sstronaut Double validation! Woot!?!?!
@sstronaut im not broken
@TryingtoLava that's great for you 😁
HumanEarth · F
I was kidnapped from my friends from Girls Ask Guys @Likes2drive @Guardian and they brought me here
@HumanEarth And now you're banned from Girls Ask Guys... 🤭🤭🤭
HumanEarth · F
Because GAG tried to shut me up about conspiracies, anti government movement talk, and protest the government talk

Anytime I would post about them three things. The moderators would pull my post and I would file a appeal. Saying it was against it was against my right to speak freely, my right to assemble and my right to protest.

This went on and on for like the last year out 5 I was there.
