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.

Aw this gave me nostalgia. I miss that!
This place is reminiscent of a ultra small town in the middle of nowhere.

@Magenta SW feels that way to me too.

@Carissimi Hello! Likewise. It's really good to see your lovely self here. Hope to see you more. I am well and busy, thanks. How are you? 💕
@SweetMae I know and it's kind of sad. 😞

@Magenta I’m fine, or better than I was a few years ago. I’ll follow you, if I don’t already. 😊
Magenta · F
@Carissimi Accepted! ☺️
I also miss a few of the options, like having more profile privacy for the stalkers.

@Magenta EP’s format was second to none. SW has done a good job of recreating it, but EP had a lot more.
