I signed up to two initially, this one and one other. Both free, but the other one didn't have as many members. I actually received a few messages on the other site, but it didn't take long to realise it was a site that was only really used by people hooking up for love.

I now only use this one.

I have been on a few dating sites but mostly they turn out to be free to join then expect you to pay to contact someone. This one is so so, dont think much of the chatroom and find some of the settings dont work. I use this site only now but am still looking for something with a better chat room so that I can get to know a few people better[/b]

I'm only on this and faceparty, not sure if I'd join any others, would never actually pay to join a dating website! x

seems like most people stick to one at a time. plentyoffish and flirtbox are the biggest free ones I think. I suspect fish is a lot bigger going by the size of their forums although i find the ones here friendlier in their smallness. Even why the forums here aren't more popular is a bit of a mystery, given there's approx 9000 people active on the site in any given month.....

Perhaps the forum could do with more promoting when signing up, and on the front page, to make people more aware of it's existence and the fact it does get used.

If the IRC channel with java access ever happens, then that too could do with being advertised on the main page too.

it already exists on the main page but i think there's way too much info on the main page as it is. if we're already subscribers we dont need to see the welcome essay every time. we should be seeing lists or random pictures of online users or a site news section. last 10 groups created, new subscribers in a more prominent location etc

Yeah. I'd go along with that. I ignore the front page for that very reason & go to whatever part of the site I'm wanting to look at.

I'd modify that list of things to this, thohgh.

1. News items - although I'd only go with that if there if it was updated frequently enough.
2. Show the last x threads replied to or the the busiest x threads over the last 2 days.
3. A selection of the most recently approved pictures. Perhaps this could be filtered according to the members interests, ie. showing only men, only women, or both.

I think 3 Clearly defined areas, well laid out, would be more than enough. The only thing I'd add to that would be a click through advert to real-time chatting.

Shouldn't this go in the section about feedback and ideas ?

Why not put all your suggestions peeps into the suggestions thread and maybe Toby will have a look at them and be able to do something. I do agree that the forums and chat rooms chould probably be a bit more promoted though


I just said that too, in my last post.

I've done it now, though. There's a thread in the suggestions forum.
