BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F

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.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@BittersweetPotato Very true, at least it's the next best thing.

Sunnykel76 · 46-50, F

Joined EP Jan 2011 and was there till the end. I will always miss it.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Sunnykel76 I agree. It seems the concensus is that EP was better but we are grateful for SW as well.

Miss ep. Was there from mid 2007 until it ended. So sad.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@AlyAngel It really was sad. What about EP do you miss the most?

Pretzel · 61-69, M

EP went through it's own up and downs. It was friendly and then it went through a dark period. I think we remember it with a lot more nostalgia.

I did like the stories section that was seperated by groups - miss that here.

@FlutteringWordsSA totally agree

@FlutteringWordsSA @Pretzel there was also this troll

@Lilnonames Omw...I remember Billy 🙄 but I think that was his ultimate goal at the end of the day.

Yulianna · 22-25, F

i was a young EP member. does that count?

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@FlutteringWordsSA 🤗 thank you... we have lost the distinction between questions, expecting answers, and stories£/reports, expecting comments.

there is very little here that encourages longer form writing, such as my Plague Diary (and some pre pandemic Diary series) and War Stories.

we have been infantilised, demanding instant gratification. and it was all so unnecessary.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@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?

jackrabbit10 · M

@Yulianna at the time you were 18 -22 lol

@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.

Muthafukajones · 46-50, M

@angie8819 people can be such pussies

QueenOfTheNerds · 41-45, F

👋🏻 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.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@QueenOfTheNerds True, I've observed the same as you. It was a bit more creative, I dare say.

QueenOfTheNerds · 41-45, F

I think there was definitely more freedom of expression. @FlutteringWordsSA

Starchild1983 · 41-45, F

I was on EP for a couple of years before it went down

@FlutteringWordsSA it’s okay, I don’t remember anyone for EP really….

Elisbch · M

Me too.. don't remember what name I had there now..LOL..@Starchild1983

ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F

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.

What is EP?

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Nimbus Pfffttt...as if you don't know... 😜 you've been around a few years 😂

@FlutteringWordsSA

mondayschild2 · F

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.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@mondayschild2 True

Oster1 · M

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. 😊🌷

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Oster1 I would have loved to read them but then again...maybe some new stories...?🌻🌼

Oster1 · M

@FlutteringWordsSA 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. 😊🌺

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Oster1 You are quite a writer...🤗🌻 I would love to read more.

@BloviatingBuffoon I remember you. You were a friend of Pete, Pedrohedgerow.

4meAndyou · F

@BloviatingBuffoon You were one of my favorites to read on EP...🙂

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@4meAndyou I agree with you there. A sharp sense of humor.

mondayschild2 · F

I think I found EP In 2013. I liked it but near the end it became a terrible place.

I like Similar Worlds.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@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.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I guess it's better than drinking one.

FoolishLuna · 56-60, F

Yes I Went down the rabbit hole of EP in January 2014. Not here very often as I find the site completely different.

@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❤️

ExtremeNext · 31-35

@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 🤗

FoolishLuna · 56-60, F

@ExtremeNext ❤️ It’s been a journey !

@MissyChrissy It was an instant messenger app that popped open just like on fb

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Spnk8 Yup

kentex35 · 100+, M

Anyone seen bloviating buffoon? She used to make me laugh she was intelligent. I thought she anyway. I've seen her here.

ExtremeNext · 31-35

@kentex35 I saw her a few weeks ago like most people nobody is on much anymore

TheConstantGardener · 56-60, M

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.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@TheConstantGardener I hear you and made the same observation. I think if we old EP'ers make an effort we can do it again. What do you think?

TheConstantGardener · 56-60, M

@FlutteringWordsSA 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.

Straylight · 31-35, F

I was on EP on and off.

@Straylight It sounds a bit familiar. Did we ever talk on EP?

Straylight · 31-35, F

@FlutteringWordsSA Maybe? I don’t recall much of who I talked to.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Straylight It does seem a lifetime ago.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

I was there from 2011, until the very last day.

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Carissimi You must have had a different username?

Carissimi · 70-79, F

No. Carissimi is the same name I had on EP. I didn’t bother to change it when I joined SW the same week EP closed down. @FlutteringWordsSA

masterofyou · 70-79, M

I miss EP...

masterofyou · 70-79, M

@FlutteringWordsSA I use to write some of them... I was a greeting person and would greet the newcomers... 😉

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@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.

masterofyou · 70-79, M

@FlutteringWordsSA 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...

Nudistsue26 · 31-35, F

I was on EP up until it ended but don't remember my old screen name

Reflection2 · 41-45, M

Yes. I was there

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Reflection2 What was the best part of it for you?

Reflection2 · 41-45, M

@FlutteringWordsSA 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.

N u?

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@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.

KimmyGary · F

Remember these

Oster1 · M

@KimmyGary We still have that today but they are so popular and continue, the tradition. Some things, never change!😊🌷

Oster1 · M

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!😊🌻🦋

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

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.

Riverman2 · 56-60, M

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

FlutteringWordsSA · 41-45, F

@Riverman2 That may have been true. We would never really know, would we. 😃

Riverman2 · 56-60, M

@FlutteringWordsSA Truth.

VirginMatchmaker · 46-50, M

I was a member on EP

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.

Riverman2 · 56-60, M

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!

@FlutteringWordsSA I not sure but I personally haven’t meet but maybe 2 people on here that I felt comfortable enough to talk to. It may just be people are more careful here
