'The saying "familiarity breeds contempt" has
ancient roots, with origins traced back to Sanskrit
texts and ancient Greece. While the exact first
instance is debated, it appears in English writing
as early as Geoffrey Chaucer's "Tale of Melibee"
in the late 14th century. The core idea is that
excessive closeness or knowledge of someone or
something can lead to a loss of respect or even
dislike, due to a greater awareness of flaws
or a taking for granted.'

No wonder the confession was in a bar.

Uh, mathwise that would be a little OVER 90%..so,
you may be right ;-)

Do you have Air Conditioning or is that silly that far North?

Google is your friend.
If they have ever posted to the forums you can go
to Google with something like this:
Mingle2 Forums Name and it will show up, good luck.

Have them reply to a forum post then follow their
picture to their profile ;-)

Google says ownership has not changed.

When you sign in to M2 it will prompt you to answer
the query 'Allow' location, if you have not
clicked yet to 'Allow' M2 to access
your location.

If, like me, you clicked on 'No' starting months
ago, it has now changed and answering 'No' will
now get you blocked from the site.

After spending a long time trying to figure out
how to get back on M2, here is a SIMPLE way.

Click on the icon just left of your address bars
current locale (Mingle2) the dropdown menu
should have 'Location' and 'Allow'.

Once that is clicked you should be able to access
M2...as you can see, I have ;-)

All the sites ebb and flow, depends on who is chatting, makes a lot of difference.

You are right, it used to be a hoot reaching its zenith in around 2010.

Scammers use it now and administration is flighty.
A return of the old days is always expected but rarely happens...we can but hope.

Uh, the moderators were never fired, we ended up
quitting when we saw how things were being over-run
with scammers several years ago.

We revolunteered several times, for instance, when
another dating site went down a lot of their
people came here..we helped to get them adjusted.
I hope.

It is a lot of work..and people resent you mightily,
but it is also satisfying to get some kind
of order that people like to visit and return.

Since then they did indeed let all the admins (in The
Philippines) go and it does not look like
they will be replaced.

The were, never to be copied..RIP darlin'.

I told you MY reasons...methinks your comment
says more about YOU.

When was it last fired?

The friends we left behind, the interest in them persists ;-)

Me, about 15 years ago ;-)

No can do...best bet is to copy keepers offsite,
like on a text document.

Otherwise they last about 30 days, unless you are
a paying customer they are indefinitely held.

A lottery winner?

We know....we have been around that long, good luck ;-)

Your target audience is not likely to read anything in the forums.

They are busy scamming.
