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.

@SweetMae I had a lot of drama going on too, in those days, but most people seemed to be in the same boat. I know I stopped a few from taking their own lives. I felt like an agony aunt, but people shared more of their heart and soul there in their stories. We all helped each other. A real community.

@SweetMae sassygirl15 I was just a kid when I discovered EP young and very sheltered. I learned a lot from there
