I Want to Improve the Experience Project

Having seen RelateToThat, it's even more clear to me how much I'm going to miss EP.

No avatars. Restrictive terms of service. Crappy Q&A from what I saw of it. EP is nowhere near as good as it was in 2009 -2012 before they began dismantling it. But even the sadly reduced EP of now seems to me to be far, far better than RelateToThat. I haven't been to the other couple of sites that are most talked of as alternatives.

[UPDATE] Even to the end Q&A on EP has remained very good.

This is really, really sad.

If I join RelateToThat, it will mainly be to private message with old EP friends. But does RelateToThat have private messages?

Why, Armen, why?

Fungirl, it's so great to hear from you. I love you. Thank you for honoring me by commenting on one of my last stories. You were one of the first people on EP to friend me and welcome me to the site, way back in 2009. I used to say "Fungirlmmm IS EP". You were such a positive person on EP. You have been justly beloved by many. Because of people like you, I can never agree with those who trash EP and make it sound like its worst side were representative of the whole.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You have become a valued member of my "cyber family" over these years and I am saddened that we won't be able to play "word games" or be there with a pay on the back when it is needed. You were what is right about this place too, and when I found this place in 2007 I was welcomed with open arms by another good heart. This place was not always ugly and evil, and even with the evil that was here, the good remained here if you looked for it. Every time I returned to,this place I found something new and interesting and it kept me coming back. Did I see bad here? Oh yes, and I had my share of bad directed at me, but I was not willing to allow that darkness to overtake the light I was standing in and those of you that shined a beacon helped me past it. I will forever be grateful to those of you that have followed me on my journey. Without that I may not have been here typing this now.

Well, I have to thank you too for your kind words. I think EP was what you made of it. Block and delete were pretty good options for dealing with the nasty people.

I can't find an option to post a new story in this group. Fungirlmmm, could you see if it's there for you? I don't want them to shut this group down.

Ugh it is there but I posted my reply to someone else's post. Oops. It is at the very bottom of the page on the right. It used to be at the top,l.
