Do You Remember

How busy you were on EP?

It was like Grand Central Station with people coming and going on your profile all night. You had to juggle so many incomings, PMs, whiteboard messages, live chats, gifts, responding to comments on your own post and others. You had to ignore everyone if you wanted to write a story, or turn your green light off to get a few minutes to compose one. Then your live chat boxes would grow, and that would throw me for six. I just couldn’t talk to that many people at once. My phone and laptop was pinging all the time, and the last day of EP was no different...ping, ping, ping, every few seconds. From the moment I logged on to logging off, which was hours, it was all go, and it was fantastic. I’ve never experienced anything like it in my online life.

What an incredible experience, and I met so many great people from all over the world, which led me to making about 100 friends on FB on a different continent, and they’d never even been on EP. Even fell in love for five delicious, and agonizing years. Whew!

I sometimes wish it could be like that again...here...but the world has changed, and I’ve changed, so it wouldn’t be the same. Still, it’s nice to reminisce that amazing time. It saved my life.

Yeah, EP was nice.

This place is sleepy.

@JoyfulSilence Better than nothing though, and we still see a few EPers here. I like that.

@Carissimi Yes. Before EP I had no social life. It is all better than staring at the wall.
Carissimi · F
@JoyfulSilence Absolutely. I’d be pulling my hair out on these long winter nights, if it wasn’t for SW, and some other Sm.

@Carissimi Are there any other good sites?
Carissimi · F
@JoyfulSilence I don’t know of any. There were a couple of spin offs of EP, but they didn’t last long. There was a site called “Answer Mug,” and some from EP went there, but don’t know if it’s still going. It was only questions, I think.

@Carissimi I was on Answermug a while. I checked on it a few months ago and it was pretty dead.

@JoyfulSilence I joined for a short while after EP closed, but the link to the site stopped working, so I didn’t bother anymore. I think they upgraded the site, and you had to take an action to stay on it, which I didn’t.
