EP was a better site than this?

I see lots of users mentioning EP

Yes but because of the people not the site, the technology in this site is actually superior to EP but EP had more people, they were especially at first more serious minded, more of them communicated in long form communications in groups rather than short comments in the Q&A and the site itself was more concerned with privacy than this site.

@Warda Armen Berjikly the creator of the site gave a TED talk about EP, he said he created a site as a multiple sclerosis support site for a close friend. The relationships that formed between people who understood each other through the shared experience of having multiple sclerosis was very helpful to people so he extended the idea. He started the Experience Project for people with other similar experiences.

He closed it because of the difficulties maintaining user privacy in the face of increasing governmental powers, challenges complying with new data privacy laws, and general online trends that were moving away from long-form content.

EP was better, bigger, more defined categories
to the point that you could go there and find which
ever subject you were looking for and socialize with
Those people and not have to post in other areas
looking for interested people.

Ep was an amazing site. A true pioneer that after they shut down, seeded a lot of ideas to SW. Ep is still better in my opinion but Sw has come a long wayb

EP lovers should return to EP 🙃

I'm not sure it was better.....it was different. Most will mention EP because it was their original experience with a site like this. It was familiar and then went away. They both serve their purpose....
