Does anyone actually pay to subscribe to this site? Is it really worth it? Do you feel you get your money's worth or were you disappointed? I've had a great experience on here but it's limited when it tells you otherwise and I'm not sure i want to upgrade.

I do not pay.

I WILL NEVER PAY.

I remember when this site was JSH. Why should we pay to be friends? Just so we could be highlighted? pfft...

Yeah that's how I feel. If I wanted to put money into meeting someone I just go out. This is just comfortable and convienant at home. I know they need to make money but they shouldn't advertise free but extras are a more when infact ( at least me) I get a couple of messages and then at some point it stops me and tells me to subscribe in order to read. I'm not going to subscribe.

The upgrade isn't mandatory. The extras are extras that were added to the site so the basic account still has the same benefits as always. In other words, nothing was taken away from the regular accounts

If you are getting that message, then you are clicking on an ad. You are subscribed to Mingle and you don't have to do anything else to read messages

No I know how to use the site I know what's an upgrade and what's not. But when I receive a message and I click to read it and it tells me I have to subscribe before I can read it that's not "an extra" that's basic use right?

and I'm telling you that you are clicking on an ad. You do NOT have to upgrade to read emails. You can email, IM, post in the forums, post pictures, etc for free.

I've been here since 07, I'm a moderator and have the upgrade (previous to modding I was a regular account)

Upgrading to read emails is not us. Everyone can read and send emails. Reading emails is NOT a benefit to the upgrade

*I did double check with the admins to make sure something didn't change without me knowing. The upgrade didn't change.

what you mean for limited??

You've only been here for 8 days and already know what is an upgrade and what is not better than a mod whom has been here 5 years and 19 days longer than I have?

Mashallah!

Good for you!

Apparently her and I are all wrong about this site that we watched grow from a baby little JustSayHi to the massive Mingle2 it is today...

Can I get paid instead?

R u SERIOUS your shocked I know what an upgrade is? Girl you need to get smarter friends! It doesn't take a genious to figure how to navigate this or any site for that matter! Also you've been on this site for how long??? Haven't found "the one" yet or just looking for a "casual encounter"? I'm sorry honey ... 5 yrs ???? Wow that's sad.
Oh and if your going to comment on something that I post please don't talk " dating site lingo" remember your talking to an educated woman who's "new "to this Internet dating so speak to me in plain old English. All I wanted was a answer to my question, not some catty group of girls who use the Internet to talk ish to other females no do that in person. I may look sweet but trust me I don't play well with catty little girls.

Let's please keep the discussion civil.

I have answered the question. Subscribing to read emails is NOT a part of Mingle2, upgrade or not. Most likely you are accidentally clicking on an advertisement that says that you have a message waiting.

A message from mingle (the notification) looks like Mail (1 new)

Well thank you for the help yellowrose10. I do appreciate you input. Didn't expect to come across Haterz over the Internet but hey I'm used to it. Have a good weekend.

I would never pay

The upgrade needs far more perks before I would even consider it, and even then I probably wouldn't bother with it.

i pay for strippers.not websites

I am wondering about this upgrade thing, too. I think I will try it out one day, but I am still putting my money away to get enough for the downpayment on an upgrade on me-self.

You see, I need to grow a few inches, there is an operation for that that costs 70,000 dollars, and I could get a brain inplant for $2,000, to get an IQ upgrade (all I want is to go from 84 to 93). Then i may get a race-upgrade to Uruguay Pony Express driver, then I may even get a financial upgrade from having $437.88 in the bank, to having 5,000,437.88 there, but that would cost six million dollars alone.

What else. Personality upgrade $666, Sexual appeal upgrade 10,10,10, vision upgrade, no money (20-20 equals zero), hair removal over my body, hair implants on my head, contacts, prostheses, false teeth implants, teeth whiteners, tummy tuck, butttucks, (or botoks? I can't remember the spelling), halitosis replacement therapy (in exchange for foot odour), muscle enhancement, heart transplant, artificial kidney with beans, blood confusion, and finally, AIDS!!! As much foreign AIDS as the USA gives to the thirld world.

I thought I did see you, as the limelights were blinding me, as you sat in the second row, screaming, "take it all! Take it all!"

I am sorry that this first of your experiences on the forums turned out to be so bitter and sour.

I wished you'd have more patience and that people would see your upset and not mock you. Even I did that. I am sorry.

We ought to have taken to heart more when you said "you are new here", and as in other times so many times in our lives, not mix up another person's inexperience with something that is not true, like taking him to be lesser in intellect.

This happens to immigrants a lot (not in this case, but generally) who speak little English and natives take the immigrant's lack of good ability to express himself as his being dumb, whereas he may be quite the opposite.

I wish you will come back, LDKWth, and try out more forumming, or at least at first just observe us and read some forum posts that interest you. We don't have to know you are reading our posts; it's perfectly legal, there is a name for it, too, an informal name, "lurker", which is NOT derogatory, just means a person who prefers to read forums, but not post there.

Hope you'll come back.
