EP vs SW - differences?
I see people bemoaning the differences between SW and the defunct EP. What are the differences, and why have they come about? Is it a matter of greater/lesser moderation, altered structure of the forum; what?

Well. I really don't understand this place I have to say.
If I post a political or social opinion, I'll get a ton of views and comments. Most of them very engaging, even agressive. I have even posted things totally random like conservatives/liberals be like and a picture of apples or kittens-- and even that got responses like it actually meant something.
If I post creative writing, something very heart felt and experiential, or a very detailed and earnest comment-- nothing. A few positive comments, a couple hearts. Seldom a dialog.
So here your options are to talk to yourself and a lurking vigilant but disengaged community, or throw red meat like everyone else.

That gave me a chuckle. Thanks!

EP was the less refined version of SW. The main difference was that you created your own groups whenever you felt like it and had other people start posting in your group. The infrastructure felt more alive. SW feels cold and hard in comparison to that concept. Rigid.

@Really Yes everything was chronological and it was super easy to find anything you looked for. You could not moderate groups however, once you created a group it was up forever
