    Is it just me, or is there not a lot of action on oneword? I find myself pretty bored here, after I write for the daily word.

    I guess I was hoping for more of a community type setting, with the forums especially. But the forums are long dead, and some of them are just complaints about problems.

    I’m sort of disappointed. Is there something I’m missing?

    As your post has received no replies… probably not. That’s disappointing. I just came across the website today and joined. Perhaps new life will emerge soon.

    I too just joined a couple days ago. Not sure what this whole site is about but I think it is kinda neat, but there is a lag of life which makes me kind of sad.

    I think we can contribute in making this become a dynamic community by spreading the ‘oneword’. Remember how facebook started? Features were limited then and now it is considered a phenomenon. Who knows one day this site will also develop its features for easier utilization.

    I just signed up today, I found this site with StumbleUpon…

    I also think we should spread the ‘oneword’. I think this website’s a great idea, and it has so much potential!

    Yes. We can make this our crib and build it up with literary cool cats. Shhhh! don’t tell the dogs.

    I joined yesterday.It gave me a challenge to be creative for 60 seconds. I think I did ok when I read the end result. My question is to you all, what are we looking for? Twitter, facebook etc… do we all(world population) really just want to meet? I was hoping for more challengers or something – oh well, shall go back to twitter and drop in later

    I also just joined and hope to be part of a social group of people and communicate with others who have found a love for writing.

    Absorbent, reading these broad swatches, lexicographical colors splash. Prose unpredictably, intermittently revealing deals healing: I relate to a struggle and hug learning, absorbing and reading, unsteadily ready. Bathing clowns in sorrow I’ll frown for joy and relish the palette’s diversity.

    yes stumbleupon is how i found this site too, maybe one day we can look back on how we were the first ones to join. in the mean time, i kind of enjoy the quiet and lack of overpopulation.

    I’ve been here for over a year, and nothing much has changed. Besides the WordUp page being taken away (an awful thing to do). I feel that if you are looking to give this site a more social aspect, it’s going to take a lot of work.

    I found this site through stumbleupon, as well. Most of the time I feel like there’s an awful lack of connection with the other members… but I love being able to read other people’s writing, and I did “make a friend” through this site, so it’s fine as long as I don’t compare it to Facebook, you know? Still, I wish more people commented and stuff on here… And I wish it showed you who a “wordup” is from. Hah.

    I, too, found this on StumbleUpon (love that website, BTW). It’s seems really great, and like it could definitely expand, if only more people knew of it. I’ll tell people if you guys will! I just joined a couple days ago, too. I should find the guy who posted it on StumbleUpon and find out who they are on here so I can friend them.

    I’m here :) I stop by every day to do the word of the day! but I honestly didn’t realize there was a forum and stuff to go with it! I am going to have to try talking to people on it more! I found this site by accident while working on NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, if anyone doesn’t know)

    I think the forum software needs to change if we really want OneWord to have a strong community behind it. The current forum is too limited and rigid.
