Hi, I would like to start off by saying its great to have a free dating site but there are a lot of things that need improvement. First when u search for matches the same people come up repeatitly there isnt enough info about people i feel like on the profiles and when u try to see whos online you cant do it within however many miles from you you have to view the entire world and the profile comes up on every page because its so repetitive. I also think that if we have a problem we should be able to have a link like most sites "contact us" instead of doing the forum thing. WOW. This site is so behind. I enjoy it a little but not like some of the other sites in fact i dont get in this site as much as other ones only time is when i get a e mail that someone left me some mail on this site...... Perhaps if the site was updated and problems were addressed more people would be on here and more people could enjoy this site.... I mean thats why we come on this site right for entertainment not frustration. Ok well i hope that the constuctive critism will help and perhaps this issue can be resolved in a timely fashion.

Well, number one...this is a brand new site...and most of us spend our time in the forums to get to know one another...that is the best way to meet people on here.2- If you want to talk to a mod without being in the forums...simply email them...3-the amount of available people can be changed through your settings on your distance preferences. Hope this helps and do hope to see you in the forums so you can actually get to know us....tons of wonderful people on here...Good luck to you.

hence the OTHER sites...

Sounds like a personal problem.

I say implement your own ideas and make another free site - let us be the judge

hello and welcome

Thanks for your input, lljojoll. If you decide to stick around, we hope that you enjoy yourself. Welcome to the forums, by the way.

I have no doupt that wonderful people are on here so i dont want anyone to get me wrong but sometimes it helps when ppl say their concerns and the site gets better and eventually attracts even more ppl.
Lol... I do not wish to start my own 100% free dating site i do not have the time for such an adventure that no money is being made from it! I have my own business that I run and lets face it guys money always goes back to money.
Mingle2 is interesting to me and I have been sticking it out but hey if it needs improvement it just does... Doesnt make anyone bad cant understand why people get so offended over constructive critism we should all strive to be better and at the tasks we take on because if your only gonna do the minimum how can u take pride in that...
Anyways I hope this enlightens everyone on the "true" reason this blog was posted.
I look forward to see whats ahead...

lljoojll - maybe it's the way your post read - didnt really read as constructive more like destructive - if wrong I apologize

it's so easy to sit back and give out complaints, orders, suggestions for others to use. Guess a lof of us, we defend M2, as we enjoy ourselves here.

join the forums, make friends, share laughs and have fun.

sometimes people dont say things to down something if i didnt like the site at least a lil why waste my time ya know?? There are just rude miserable people in the world yes but I myself an optimist always think it never hurts to say something. Not everything needs defending unless its a really good reason. I suppose typing can always be read wrong with no voice inflection to lisen and truely understand the meaning behind so calm down if I hate the site I would say so or just suspend it! I dont get online for conflicts but actually to enjoy myself Life itself is a conflict I only meant good outta that not bad I assure you....

optimism rules

but tequila shots are better

Did someone says shots?

Well, Im new here too and this is my 1st time in forums. I agree partly with lljojoll, but I wish there were more free sites out there so ppl can look and talk to others for free. I mean, why not? A lot of those that want money are scams ne way and are just a tease. As far as this site goes, Im glad its free, but I wish you could IM someone if u wanna talk to them and also know wen they were on last. I hate sending a message to someone not knowing how long its been since theyre last visit. They couldve been on a year ago n Im none the wiser, so yeah, this site could use improvement. Nothing wrong with criticism.

hello and welcome bigjohn

M2 offers the Instant messaging feature, but please note that in order for it to work it must be enabled by both parties.

My suggestion would be to join the forums, share a laugh, a joke, advice, meet lots of people and have fun.

Oh really? How does that work? Theres someone Id like to talk to and would love to chat with her on here. How do I enable it on my end and how do I know if she has it?

bigjohn - go to the following

My Account

Settings

Turn on Instant Messaging


sorry the only way to know if the other party has enabled it is to try and im them - if they respond yay, if not sorry, try emailing them and advising them you'd like to chat


good luck

thanks a lot for your help. I apprec it.

well as for the contact us rather than forum area

1 contact us would require a diligent staff to answer all questions

2 with it being in the forum aspect you get help usually in a very timely manner from members who know how to help you

3. these two things help to keep it a free site

4. this is not a new site it is young but not new
A. mikes join date under his picture is 7/13/06
a. this was a thursday not a friday

5. this way of help works very well

6. nothing says you can not email anyone on the staff if that is what you want to do

good luck and may you find what is best for you

may much good come to you and yours
