I actually like SW

All I hear is complaints. But I been here since SW began. Well a little after. I had been upset EP had finished and I wouldn't join straight away. But I did.
Now I hear people complaining about the people who run SW.
I was 14 or 15 when SW started and they have worked so hard to make it safe for younger people. A young person aged under 18 is totally safe on SW. That was not the case a few years ago.
Whenever I have been worried I have contacted SW and they have responded straight away. If you wish to be part of the SW family, stick around. It is family. If not, try Facebook!
Like so many others, I too am an EP refugee. While my online time has decreased significantly I have no complaints, I continue to adore and enjoy my EP/SW family and it remains my only social site. It's a wonderful mutual support system t hat is so needed in these rather brittle, trying times. I would be lost without SW and like you, I appreciate the job Admin does for all of us. Nice post you wrote.

@Grateful4you Thank you! I am here for you any time.
@Blodyn And I am the same. Empathy and a willing ear is often all that a person needs. I feel great if I can just lend someone a little support and letting someone know anywhere you may go, someone, somewhere really does care.

@Grateful4you That's what SW is all about. I had a message from a gentleman in his 90's who begged me not to go. He loves to read my stories. This site is family.

It’s nice to hear something positive once and a while.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@Straylight So much is going on!
I agree! I may not like every feature, change or person, but all in all it's a nice place to get to know people and I believe the admins' hearts are in the right place. I see a lot of complaints about them never listening to users, but a lot of updates did come from user suggestions and many features have been adjusted after their release based on feedback. A few things go against the wishes of what seems to be a majority, but in general, they seem to implement exactly what is popular and this is still by far the best social medium platform I know of.

@NerdyPotato I totally agree!
candycane · 31-35, F
@NerdyPotato if it got shut down I could say oh well and move on once they took all my groups I lost interest

It may seem safe but it's not.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@kodiac In spite of what people say about the management here, I know if there's a problem I can contact them and they will do something about it.
kodiac · 22-25, M
@Blodyn i agree but they can't be here constantly monitoring. Sometimes by the time they get notified the damage is done.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@kodiac I'm sorry you have had such a bad time. The two of us go way back. Kodi, you are my friend, x

😂 notice I didn’t get rid of that , your not old stuff yet, a long ways from it. It has been fun chatting here and there for as long as we have. Thank you
Repete · 61-69, M
I hope you do. And I hope I catch it .@Blodyn
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@Repete I just want people to remember how it was.
Repete · 61-69, M
Sounds like a good idea. @Blodyn

EP felt like a closer and more active community than this one. The content seemed more authentic and there were fewer trolls. I miss EP a lot. Sometimes it feels like this play is dying. I hope not. It’s a great escape for me from my real life.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@Muthafukajones The type of posts have changed a lot. We no longer tell stories! But SW is strong and a place you can be safe.

@Blodyn
We no longer tell stories!
Do you mean fiction or just long posts?
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@ninalanyon We told stories. Not just chatted. Our stories were real. Our stories were made up. It didn't matter!
DrWatson · 70-79, M
I like it as well.
Fluffybull · F
@DrWatson I think grumbling is contagious. One person starts and others catch it......😉
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@Fluffybull Dr Watson can give you a shot and we can all talk without your interruptions.
Fluffybull · F
@Blodyn Well f you too 😡
Repete · 61-69, M
I still like it here but some of the changes I’m not a fan of. Yes the stories before was much better I think more conversation I think.
I have my spells on here sometimes I’m here a lot other times not so much. I also don’t post things as much as I did on ep.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@Repete You made me laugh!
Repete · 61-69, M
You never know when you become an artist this may be worth millions 😂 @Blodyn
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@Repete An early Blodyn!
SW-User
I like it too. I just can't stand at least 50% of the users here. But I block them and talk more to the users I do like and that makes it worth it.
firefall · 61-69, M
I agree completely on this
SW-User
I feel those that complain, love it the most
SW-User
@Blodyn I agree, not many friends here either but I would rather not have the fakes on Facebook
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@SW-User Friendships last here. Hope you get friends.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@SW-User You look just like my brother.
It's basically my therapy. I can't get help in real life so SW is my outlet. Without it I'd go insane. I love it here and I won't ever leave.
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether It is so lovely to hear that you are one of us. Others come and go and say stuff which upsets us. But we are family.
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
I love it too
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@JohnOinger John, I heard such moans and groans about SW. Your message just sweeps it all away.
candycane · 31-35, F
I used to write poems and stories s w begged us to come here. I uploaded all my poems stories and groups. Then e p deactivated all my stories as most e p groups. It's no longer close as you had your own Lil personal corner they took your freedom awsy. I just write random shit now
Blodyn · 22-25, F
@candycane Try again. It took a while for SW to establish itself.
candycane · 31-35, F
@Blodyn I can't write in my groups any more they are just there now they don't care
