I can't find the details, but two users who met through the site ended up with one of them murdering the other. The founders' statement for shutting it down after this said that they were concerned about being able to protect users' privacy, and since the site was intended to be anonymous, their only option was to close it.
I only found EP a few months before it closed. From what people told me, it had significantly deteriorated since its apex; even the UI wasn't as good. The site was begun by Armen Berjikly as a way for people with cerebral palsy (I think - it could have been a different condition) to share their experiences anonymously, but it quickly morphed into experiences of all kinds being shared.
Before it shut down, users made several suggestions for substitutes, including Relatetothat (also shut down, although it was heavily moderated), Vent (short form, more like Twitter), and a few others I don't remember. SW is the closest to it.
