I've gone and returned a handful of times but the allure of saying random things to random people in random chat rooms is just too much to ignore in a world full of random nonsense.
How very specific of me. |

also here a long time since my join date but I have deactivated several times for as little as a few weeks to more than a year one time
I will post frequently at times and then go for weeks posting maybe once or twice a day or not at all still I am pretty much a regular overall and not that happy about that - I did not join with the intention to stay here and really have been thinking that I wonder if online is going to work _ I know it works for some, but hasn't for me I sometimes wonder if the rumors I read about the sites not wanting you to succeed because then their members leave is true |

That would make sense to me. I doubt that's much of an issue here though. Just look at how many regulars are here and not single/looking. However, if this WAS a pay site, I'm sure the vast majority of them would be gone. |

That would make sense to me. I doubt that's much of an issue here though. Just look at how many regulars are here and not single/looking. However, if this WAS a pay site, I'm sure the vast majority of them would be gone. When I was doing some research (last year) for the dating site book, I ran into some pay-site stories that would make most people think twice about even considering a pay site. One site was famous for sending out bogus messages (from beautiful eligible females, heh heh) urging the male members to stick around and talk to them. It was alleged that the beautiful eligible females were actually site staff members (possibly male) whose job it was to pretend to be regular members and pretend to be interested in the guys on the site. There were several sites with really bad reputations for not letting people leave -- in some cases, a member would request to have their account deleted, and the sites not only would ignore the request, but would keep on charging their credit cards for months afterwards. The bottom line for pay sites is they get the majority of their revenues from paying members. So the retention of those paying members is their first priority, which directly contradicts the ostensible purpose of the site in the first place. So, if it comes down to a choice between making truckloads of money or helping some people find happiness, which do you suppose is going to triumph? I've only tried one pay site ever, and that was for 3 months in early 2006. I will say that, of all the sites I ever tried, that was the one where I got the most correspondence -- I was contacted by 174 of their members, almost all of them local. I never sent out a first e-mail. I don't know how many of those were bogus members, if any -- I wasn't interested in meeting any of them, so I never really followed up. And the site didn't give me any problems when I wanted to leave after three months, so I guess I got lucky that time. |

Only reason I even tried it was because they had one of those deals that the first few weeks or month or whatever was free, so I cancelled it a few hours before the 'trial period' was up. So what do they do, they offer me 2 more weeks for free. I figured what the hell, so agreed. Of course, a few hours before the end of those 2 weeks I cancelled. Once again, they offered me ANOTHER 2 weeks for free. Once again, I said ok. That went on for a few months before they gave up.
