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.

@FlutteringWordsX totally agree

Yulianna ยท 26-30, F
i was a young EP member. does that count?
Yulianna ยท 26-30, F
@FlutteringWordsX ๐Ÿค— thank you... we have lost the distinction between questions, expecting answers, and storiesยฃ/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.
FlutteringWordsX ยท 41-45, F
@Yulianna You're welcome ๐Ÿค— 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?

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป I was there. Same name. I donโ€™t remember when I joined, but Iโ€™m guessing around 2012 or 2013. I met some amazing people there.
EP was the Wild West compared to SW. I donโ€™t remember seeing all of the whining and complaining posts that I see here.
FlutteringWordsX ยท 41-45, F
@QueenOfTheNerds True, I've observed the same as you. It was a bit more creative, I dare say.

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

I like Similar Worlds.
FlutteringWordsX ยท 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.
ChampagneOnIce ยท 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.

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.

EP was great until about the last year, when it slowly swirled down the toilet. This place just kinda picked up where it left off, in the sewer.
FlutteringWordsX ยท 41-45, F
I kind of gathered that. It just doesn't navigate the same at all and the adverts.... :-(
TheConstantGardener ยท 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.
FlutteringWordsX ยท 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 ยท 56-60, M
@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.

@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.

@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 ยท 70-79, M
@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 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.

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.
