Cue: dramatic sting | |

| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/12/2009 3:55:19 AM | I think it's very suspicious that the OP hasn't made any comments on this thread. Usually can't shut the bugger up. I bet he's in on the whole thing. Maybe it was all his original idea! It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
Everybody, grab your pitchforks. Raise those lit torches. Shake your fists in anger (you may have to ask someone to hold your pitchfork and torch while you do this, in the interests of safety).
This means war!

Don't feel bad. You're not stupid at all. You merely trusted. Whereas I don't trust anyone or anything - one is not born cynical and I treasure the innocent trusting nature of the gullible that I lost some time ago.
The money will be put to good use, I'm sure. Or, then again, maybe Markus is using it, as we speak, to buy a years supply of hookers for himself and the moderators. But that's just the way my mind works and I'm sure he'd never do anything of the sort. | |

|
| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/12/2009 10:17:29 PM | | i think its fair and resonably priced, to be taken seriously for 5 bucks a month? hmmm seems a little underselling, but hey i support the financial need to prop the site up a bit. | |

| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/13/2009 4:12:25 AM | | What an awesome idea! That way guys who are serious about dating can now pay money to not even have the courtesy of getting a reply from women on here. 5 STAR! | |
|
| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/13/2009 4:18:40 AM | | I wonder if gold badge members can sell them on to other members? We could have a cyber yard sale for 2nd hand badges! | |

So another of life's experiences now comes at a cost !? :) Hey ladies get ignored too...
Maybe those (men and ladies) with a gold star should be forced to reply to messages... or their star is turned black. Seriously fickle or what !? :) | |

| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/18/2009 10:42:20 AM | I have been on several different sites and have found no matter if it was a paying site or not you are still going to find your married sorts, dishonest ones, the ones who are here just for sex or kicks. So it is up to the individual to work out who is fair dinkum about wanting to meet someone and start a relationship etc. Money does not single out the "serious" ones | |
|
| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/21/2009 8:49:10 PM | | I thought I'd made a serious stuff up just now because I clicked on the "Take the integrity and sincerity test" which now appears on the top of your inbox. "Congratulations" it says, "You've passed the test and are now qualified for the serious member badge." Eeeek! Fortunately it was just a lead up to get you to pay for it. Which I didn't. | |

| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/22/2009 7:33:25 PM | I have paid good money on other sites only to find that I have wasted my dough. At least on this site there is unrestricted access to everything.
Most other sites send so called "Matches" that turn out to be just bait to get one to spend more money, or alternatively, the contacts made turn out to Visa Seekers from eastern european countries. As for "Players", there are just as many female players as there are male. My profile says that I am serious, but on the other hand, how can one make an assessment based on a photograph? And yes, I have come across situations where the reality of a pic is far from the truth of the actual subject.
So, paying a fee to show whether or not someone is "Serious?" will not, in my mind , change the current scenario. However I can understand the situation with the sites owners, running this thing has to be a very expensive excercise, something I have always wondered about. | |

| POF Soon To Introduce Fees... Posted: 3/23/2009 2:18:53 AM | | It will turn out like any other site for dating and friends here on the net,pay your money nothing happens,membership expires and all of a sudden you have people interested.Leave it free,im serious but refuse to pay for services again. | |
