@pinkrainbowkisses: I found EP to be the better of the two, but that's mostly due to the fact that I had more friends there. SW just doesn't feel the same, I don't know how to explain it.
Nope too many pervs and sociopaths! I believe that's what shut it down actually. I think you'd be better off joining a meet me group for one of your hobbies. I crochet so there's a group I could join every day of the week in my area. But there's also a buzzlion other groups like maybe a book club. If it's the questions that you miss though why not do random surveys at the mall. You'd probably get better answers.
