On EP since August 2010 🥺 Those were the days. They will never come back. 🥺 I am still grateful SW is available and it is a great website. I think we've changed too.
@Yulianna You're welcome 🤗 That is indeed true. I've been thinking though....why don't we start that up again by writing and posting stories again. I mean we can work the algorithm by posting stories and supporting each other in that. What do you think?
👋🏻 I was there. Same name. I don’t remember when I joined, but I’m guessing around 2012 or 2013. I met some amazing people there. EP was the Wild West compared to SW. I don’t remember seeing all of the whining and complaining posts that I see here.
@angie8819 I think everyone is here for their own reasons but mainly it makes them happy in some way and everyone deserves some happiness, except for scammers of course.
@mondayschild2 There were a lot of negativity in the end but I think it was mainly because of the change, other than that it was pretty great but I agree SW is good too.
I was on EP as well from 2012-2016 under a different username. I miss that site. When it was good, it was very good. I left before the end. It had changed so much and wasn't as good as it used to be.
Yes, I was under the same name. I had so many friends and wrote so many stories and experiences. I now wish that I had saved them. I went directly to here. 😊🌷
@FlutteringWordsX You are so right and perhaps, have inspired me to write more. I just haven’t carried that on, since joining here. I love to write and am quite capable. Thank you. 😊🌺
Yes I was and came here when it started. There are great people here many that came from EP. At least we have this place and the owners of EP gave us a deadline and dumped us. This place deserves a chance.
@ExtremeNext I’m just really blessed that my reality is full and I’m happy. It was a dark time for me when I first joined experience project and I was rather lonely now I’m very happily re-married but I do miss some of the people on this site❤️
@FoolishLuna I miss everything about EP the wonderful people I meet some I connected with here but yes it's not even in the league of EP I'm happy you are happy 🤗
There seemed to be a lot more fun and light-hearted banter on EP. The last five years has seen a lot more political division both in the UK, with Brexit and in particular the US. That is reflected here in a noticeable schism and some entrenched and quite frankly rather tedious political ping-pong exchanges.
I don't know if things will ever get back to where they could. Time will tell.
@FlutteringWordsX I don't spend enough time here to make a real difference but I hope that the political rhetoric calms down. That would be a good start.
@masterofyou I wonder why they stopped that. It was a great way to get in touch with people and make them feel welcome and also help to navigate a new site.
@FlutteringWordsX I don't know.. I think there are a new breed of people. I sometimes message people that I see as new with a friendly greet and they either take offense or never messaged back.. People are not vas friendly here as they were on EP... I'm not sure it would work but who knows...
@FlutteringWordsX EP was so long time ago, but i think the groups/forums was more clear. It was easier to find likeminded people based on the forums. It was more straight t the point.
@FlutteringWordsX I wasn't social there as much, besides towards the end of it, where I made a good connection with a person. Besides that,it was the question and answer section which I liked the most and was most active there.
@Reflection2 I liked the stories a lot better. People still made an effort to share their experiences with stories but the Q&A section was good too. SW Q&A is hilarious sometimes.
WOW! It amazing to me to see this thread build and grow like it has, after four years. This is like EP and the support you are receiving, even to this day! I’m so happy for you and will enjoy, seeing it grow further. So good for you!😊🌻🦋
Thank you dear @Oster1 🤗🌻🦋 it really is and so heart warming and amazing to see everyone chip in in the conversation thread. I'm hoping a lot of friendships will be reunited and a new trend of story posting will make a come back like in the old days.
I was in EP. Everyone says it was nicer, and I'd have to agree. But I don't think it's as much the place that's different, I think people have changed. The people create the atmosphere (imho).
I think so.... most(?) wanted SW to be like EP. I don't know about everyone, but I was hoping.
SW-User
I was in EP for a year or two, probably around 2012, not sure. Discovered it by accident, got hooked for a while, stopped, then went back later and it was gone. Eventually found SW which seemed a bit tame at first but I got used to it.
It seemed like maybe EP had fewer ppl with multiple accounts. Also there were more categories of stories and commonality. Then again, perhaps I was even more naive than I am now lolol
There was one combination of EP features that was both great but crazy at the same time. That is there was a group called "I live in a sexless marriage" and the members also could be searched for by state. Let the games begin!
