EP used to be a million times more active...

This thing hardly has a question per hour. EP had at least 2-3 questions per minute posted :/

    ISS, you will remember all the spam... All the no questions... All the Craigslist ads for sexual encounters... All the teens asking if we missed them... Not the least the trolls... Etc. 

    Personally I prefer it here, but it's different how we perceive things individually. I know some have left or joined SW too. I guess they will have their EP copy there. This isn't EP, this is another kind of community. My best advice is give it some time and see if you can settle in, influence the direction we go by your presence and your contributions. They are very much welcomed. :-) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at September 20, 2022 4:21 AM MDT

    SW is exactly like that.... It's basically EP Q&A. Sometimes it can be fun..... but the quality of questions (or statements) leaves much to be desired. I like random stupidity, but it's random stupidity all the time, and in droves.

    I haven't felt the need to experience it myself. It's what I've heard though, and I feel no need repeating EP. It had its good sides but surely also its bad sides. The good sides would be centred around the people in our groups, and less the community as such. The story section was great but was dying in the last period of EP.

    The story section was where I hung out mostly too. It was definitely dying, but our friend Some1 had challenged me to post 100 stories in the last two weeks of EP. I managed it with two days to spare, lol. It was fun.

    I was never much of a question-asker though.

    Why am I not surprised. Lol. I do love your questions, and it's not about quantity. Never was for me. :-)

  • Quality over quantity ...  What more needs to be said ... That's allowable in this particular section of the mug ... Why do I feel like seeing his far the rules will stretch, hmm?

    Still griping.  This is not EP.  Not going to be EP.    Get over it.

    It's a new member, Thrifty. Why don't you for once make your replies a bit less offensive, no?
