What happened to Writers Cafe?

What happened to Writers Cafe? 

.

I remember when this site was a close knit community with lots of talented writers. Now, it seems like a dull place to come to with ads, ads, ads, and more ads.

.

What a shame it's become a shell of what it used to be. 

With a moderator who's never here, the site hasn't been updated or improved in years. It reminds me of an abandoned lot left unattended growing weeds. People have left. Ads have made the popular page!

I've been here at WC since 10+ years, and this place has really helped me a lot to evolve as writer, a poet and a philosopher.
I've had people who appreciated and admired my work(you've been one of them), and I've had genuine, honest critiques too, who didn't just pointed out my flaws, sometimes in public and sometimes in private mails.I've had good friends and consistent reviewers too, and I've had had people whom I've reviewed much, and they hardly did, and ended up blocking me for no reason..Lol. I also, had people who have always reviewed my writing in all their enthusiasm, without me sending them an RR.(Though there's hardly except some I've today)
But honestly, what I've had here, I'll have nowhere else, I really realise that, and I miss those good old days, When WC was bright, soothing and it had real writers, poets and friends who prioritised writing, communication and believed in helping others excel too.

It was so much fun being here, but since past year/years this place has become dull, indeed! Sometimes when I post any of my writings here, I really wonder if people really exist here? I really don't know what went wrong, but this place has really turned wierd in a way, it never used to be before! Sometimes I feel this place only has scammers, and ads, and fake profiles now, who keep stalking and bullying the other genuine good people here.
And their is no place for communication, development, and evolution of thoughts and positive exchange of writing here.
I'm also facing the same, what you've described here, and it's really disgusting! and it is hence I completely feel, and agree with you here, Relic/Sami.

People are no more responsive here, the moderators and administrators as usual here, sleep with no worries, and the nuisance has become the dominant part of this site .As for the old writers (like us) ..we're sometimes even worried to see all this, and scared sometimes, thinking what might happen more.

But I feel, something really needs to be done.Because this has been a special place for us as friends, as novice and as blooming writers, and we can't see it going barren like this.

Thankyou for sharing your sentiments fellow writer, sharing it was the need of the the hour

Thankyou.

[Relic]

Thank you so much for your comment, Sami. I can only hope the owner/mod sees all the comments on this page and does something about it. I too have loved this site for many years, but now I have no desire to come here anymore which is a shame.

....only if the moderator could see, but we all know the truth *sigh*
Sometimes, all we can do, is see the sand grains slipping away, but can't help it except already seeing the loss, and realising that it once meant so much, and still does! What an irony, indeed.

Yes, these are really true. I felt the need to take a break because it was getting too overwhelming here. Life is already hard and sometimes the virtual world makes it even harder. I haven't been here for a long time but apparently this used to be a safer place. The problems I have here are more than just the ads; sometimes people just enjoy pouring their personal garbage out to others for free. I don't like being a part of it. I don't like that there are so many scam accounts here, I don't like that this place has become a sales area. This place is like a completely abandoned haunted house. I'm starting to think that I hope I'm not contributing to making this place worse. Sometimes social media can be overwhelming. I try to be kind when I can and offer hopeful writings to people, even though I have the freedom to write, I'm aware that what I write will reach people and is open and I want to use it whenever I can. and when I realized that I was losing control and that I couldn't cope with the hatred here, and the abandonment of the WC itself, I realized that I needed a break.
I apologize for my personal monologue, but I still feel like this is a safe space.

and thank you very much for sharing this, thank you very much for publishing your ideas. Everyone is aware of the problem here and everyone is uncomfortable but we don't talk, we can't talk. Even if we do, there's probably nothing we can do. The moderator is active from time to time, but we're not even sure if he's interested in anything. As I said, I haven't been here for a long time, and although I don't know the old version of what you're talking about, there's a serious problem here.

but I believe this; I think this place will be better if we can really understand who we can communicate with. And when we're always a little more polite than we should be. and we need to reach out to the peiple for these ads and scam accounts. I think a teenager needs to send them emails that will upset them and fix this place. I’ll do my best.:D And we should report every negative post we see as much as possible.(not even sure is that works anymore) I think this will not be solved by losing hope and I believe that everyone can change something with small steps based on my own opinion. I may be wrong but I want this site to be safe.
I think it's a real hope that someone is even talking about this issue. Thank you

I agree with all you've said. Some have tried getting in touch with the moderator, yet he doesn't seem to want to, or can't, do anything to improve the site.
Thanks for your comment, beren.

I absolutely agree. For me, it's more than being awash in adds. I search out other writers of prose, review their work, and almost never hear back from them. Apparently, they have no intention of being a part of the site. I'd gladly operate out of another site if I could find one similar to what this one used to be.

[Relic]

I can relate to your comment, Sam. I always tried to comment on new writers to make them feel comfortable in a new setting but it always turns out to be a waste of time. I rarely receive anything back. I find no incentive to come here and I'm much less enthusiastic about it these days.
