INTRODUCTION:
I first used EmoPuddle.com about two months ago following a month of mental indecision over whether to or not to check it out. I had by then seen its page on the internet and had been tempted. When I finally checked it out, I immediately knew I had been thinking for too long. There wasn't anything wrong with being a member here. My biggest worry was that at 20, I was a little too old to be on forums. I also feared that my friends from school would find me here, and they would bully me. Still, I closed my eyes and signed up. A week later, I was still basking in the sunshine of this forum. There's so much to read from the topics already posted and most of it is people telling their opinions and deepest secrets. The community is super helpful here and protective, like they know you from somewhere. For me the biggest attraction ended up being that I didn't have to worry about being found on the platform. The platform allows emos only, and non emos are easy to see and weed out. I also didn't have to use my real image on my profile or state any personal information, such as credit card information. I ended up using the forum comfortably and meeting more new friends than I could have imagined. This is the kind of platform we all wish for. The kind where there's no judgment, where everyone's on the same page and where kindness wins. I'll definitely stay longer for this.
ABOUT:
In the world of internet forums, there isn't one that has captured the essence of community like EmoPuddle.com has. EmoPuddle.com is just one of hundreds of emo forums on the internet, but quite naturally, through its design and mission, it stands out from the rest and is instantly both memorable and likeable. The forum has been active for years now and was designed with emos in mind. The site's design edges to minimalism with a bit of depth thrown in, the kind of thing an emo would get immediately. It was designed to be a platform for emo lovers and emo people to meet and talk, and even hookup if possible. The platform aligns itself with emo culture, allowing posts from members under categories that link to emo culture's different aspects. EmoPuddle.com requires membership of its users. But unlike many other emo forums, this one actually allows creating a post before signing up. You only get to see the interaction that results from the post after you sign up though. EmoPuddle.com has members from both the US and from all over the world, all united by the power of emo love. In its quest to be safe and free environment, the forum is completely free and doesn't tolerate trolls or other abusers. It's got moderators on hand to delete and deactivate inappropriate accounts and their owners. Even then, the forum doesn't have that many incidents of abuse and trolling, at least not in the time I've been a member.
