Experience project thought I miss this website more than any other social site. I met many...

There was nothing in the website for it was a platform based on which SW was created. The problem is with people as I see the new generation does not know the value of this and does not know how to use the platform.

The advantage EP had was that it attracted more matured people. But SW attracts more rookies and immatured ..

But matured ones too are playing hard and intolerant causing further Mayhem.

But what SW is not doing is setting stricter rules for newcomers. If they do it, this platform too would be as good as EP.

It wasn't a better site - just had a group of people that complimented each other - (I'm agreeing the atmosphere was better) - although there were a couple of dry periods. And towards the end it was on life-support.

I do remember how playful it could be - and how pre-covid there was a period of time where we would post a pic with a mask on.

Wonder if we had the same rash of catfish - probably - but it's so obvious now.

I blame COVID and the contentious American politics for driving people away - or at least making them silent.

Ahhh yes indeed! I was on EP for 4ish years before it went RIP. Hard to believe it's been almost a full decade. A different time and place, which we can (sadly) never return to.

It was a more supportive environment in my experience - I do miss that.

What I did was saved my data from there. Once in a while I would take time to read old messages or works from there.
Really a good time (even if there’s few hiccups).

EP was in a league of its own when it came to social networking, it gave me some great memories and I made some good friends there.

In my opinion E.P. was much better than S.W.,this place is boring and im spending less and less time here,and that's probably a good thing.

Ditto. It was far superior, it's quite obvious it was.
There were some excellent quality writers. It wasn't all shallow jokes, memes and nonsense. 🥱

I was on it briefly at the end. I thought it was very similar to SW, but I don’t remember so well.

In April, it will have been gone for ten years. I suspect people romanticize its memory, because while it existed (I was there from late 2009 until it closed) posters had plenty of complaints.
