POF Advertising.....Plenty of Fish Sucks? Huh?
Posted: 6/4/2008 5:26:28 PM
I was just checking out a beautiful gals profile who lives in Southern California and to the right of her picture was this statement "Plenty of Fish Sucks" and it advertises a list of better dating sites..I'm wondering why this advertisement is on our site..I've grown quite close to POF I don't think it sucks..This is like slamming the home team it feels kinda personal...How do others out there feel about Plenty of Fish?

Advertisements like this are on this site because the owner of the site probably gets paid to display these ads. I don't like looking at all these sugar daddies.com ads, but how else are they gonna keep the site free? These sites cost some money, you know.

POF makes money from that add. They are not concerned because POF is the largest FREE dating site in the world. Proudly still operating from their apartment in Vancouver, Canada.

Why not advertise other sites when you have the best up and running. It is only profit they gain from this add. Support POF by clicking on those sites and remaining loyal to POF! This site is awesome, no comparison! Clicking on anything advertised here only strengthens this site!

Click away...

I am just an anonymous member, but I support POF! It is an awesome site, free of charge.

Bring on the adds, as that means POF will remain free and I can continue to post in the forums.

To a certain extent, I agree with that AD(Not "add"... that's a math function!).... there are certain aspects of POF that sucks donkey balls!

Gypsygirl29, I thought the same thing.
I rarely go to my profile/mail section, as I only do it to update my profile. I had no idea about the ads when I first came upon a forum topic discussing them. I think it took a few weeks later before I noticed one of them.

It's not the POF Sucks ads that bother me. Nor is it the Sugar Daddy ads (why I'd need one, I don't know... ).. but that horrible banner ad that shows the ugly mutant girl is just freaky!

As others have said, the ads are what keep this site free. And they could be worse. They could be popups or those annoying Flash ads that appear over the bulk of the screen.

I hate that Sugar Daddy ad it appears alot when I'm looking at my own profile..I hope gals don't see this ugly old fat guy with the womens stetson/cowboy/pimp/ hat on see where I live and think I'm rich..Because I'm not..But I do have women contact me that are in their 20's and send me hot pictures (Well that's o.k. I like the pictures...) Go ahead think I'm rich it's a nice fantasy..

POF is the best chat site i have been on, for one because they done allow nude pics on the profiles.
i dont really mind ads on the pages...i dont look at them, what i find annoying is pop-ups! and there is none of them.

Maybe, but I was "Lucky" enough to have a man send me a pic of himself naked, wearing leather chaps (nuthin' else), handcuffed and a ball-gag in his mouth. It was his first contact with me....and his last.

I declined his 'em offer...

I love Plenty of Fish...This place bought me through some terrible times in my life and if I ever win the lottery I'm going to find some way to meet a few of you guys I have about 200 favorites and everytime I see my favorites I remember something they said in a thread or something they did toward another member on pof and I remember why I picked them as my favorite..I would love to meet "thee one" but I don't think I ever will for one she would have to be a psyche patient on heavy meds to deal with my baggage...I'm o.k. with not meeting "thee one" I heard someone say pof saved their life, well pof said my life too..And if it was me that originally said pof saved my life well then that explains the double Gemini in me..I love this new advertisement I just saw "friendly military schools.." The picture of the kid on the advertisement looks like me the day I was in a military school and I learned how to fire a gun..They should not teach emotionally disturbed kids how to shoot a gun..I don't think they knew I was wacko at the time though. I'm better now.. One thing for sure Big Fish has a sense of humor..
