Hi Toby
I did like the idea of your site. I found it less busy than say person.com and I thought the girls were probably likely to be more genuine - less scammers (HA! HA! how wrong I was - they get in everywhere). However I do have a couple of points which have made me more or less stop using the site:

1. When I send a msg to a girl and she replies, I then reply to this but apparently she doesn't seem to receive my reply despite the fact your site says it is totally free. Its as if you are limiting the number of msgs in one exchange. I have also had one or 2 cases of receiving black emails from girls and on one occasion I think this happened twice, leading me to think they were trying to contact me but could not.
2. I can see a 'webcam' icon for some girls but cannot see how to view the webcam. I thought maybe this icon just showed that they had a cam on yahoo etc,but then again I cannot see where this is entered in the profile section. It would be a much better site and more popular if one could view cams here.

I do welcome this opportunity for feedback though.

I am using Firefox on Mac OS X (10.4)

1. Spammers/scammers are deleted every day here...so they don't have much chances to spam too much - on other websites they never delete them or it takes ages until they notice it. If you report a spammer/scammer they are usually deleted within a day or within a couple of hours. Try the country filter - then you wont receive
any....they are usually from Ghana, Nigeria, etc...

2. Unless the person is underage or the message is a copy&paste message or contains advertising, it will go through.

3. the webcam icon means they have selected "webcam chat" in the "i am looking for" section. just talk to them and if they like you they might even switch on their webcam. This is just an additional information. You can chat via webcam using skype or any other messenger....

Thanks!

I only joined the other and already i've had to send feedback because my picture wouldn't show up. also some of the links don't work and bring up some stupid star trek gif. I actually like star trek but wtf? whats wrong with using a classic 404?

I've since sent a couple messages to some users about 8 but not received any reply, either they didn't get them or just can't be bothered. So much for some people being "up for a chat". sigh.

I keep getting logged out too.

You cant really EXPECT to get reply's to your message's. Some girl's might not be into you, or maybe they're not even looking for a relationship - give it time, and put thought into what your writting. If you've sent eight message's out already and you've only been on the sight a few day's I'd say your rushing a bit. It can take time.
