Not the way it was run at the end no...it was over censored, it took away fetish groups so they had nowhere to go but on the main board..it got stupid, if they are not breaking the law they shouldn't be censored..simple. Also admin here are much more productive than ep ever was...
On a first thought - yes - but then again it would mean to exchange those strange people here with other strange people :D I would like to have back the old EP days ... but at least this is as close to EP as we can get.
Its all about people.. EP definitely was great as people had time and patience to converse with one another. But SW is like tail end of EP when too many jerks came aboard and started to spam.
I would go back only because you could do more. SW if it does not want to become irrelevant needs to go beyond being a temporary placeholder and let the users make this place ehat it could be. The permanent "read only" staus in groups makes this place not much more then a message service for former ep users.
