I am a New Member at Similar Worlds

Originals lol

In that case, I'm one. I believe I first joined in 2011 or so and had a love/hate relationship with it ever since. I've deleted several times, but could never stay away for long.

@Plobey: haha I made so many accounts and left a lot of times but I always went back to check on the other members. I feel like the founders of EP really fucked it up after they started changing everything

@Kittxn: they sure did. From what I heard I already missed the best times, but they did a lot more damage since I joined.

@Plobey: yeah EP changed drastically one day when they released the beta for the new version, the one you most likely saw. Literally no one liked it. Everyone liked the older version better but EP didn't listen. They forced everyone to have the beta and it was broken as hell.

Yep, it was never really user friendly. Having to refresh the page to see if there was any news, even for private messages. A very limited set of options. Loads of duplicate and misspelled groups due to the free creation. Those were bad design choices, and it's just a few examples of the many.

@Plobey: I understand EP had a very limited team of admins but they just made everything worse...they kept adding more and more things that were just making the site more cluttered and confusing, and were quite frankly unnecessary. Everyone was upset. Hopefully more users join SW :/

I hope so too. The team of SW is small as well, but their decisions are a lot better. But some more activity would indeed be nice. It's still possible to keep up with all new stories while you're online.
