IM turns me off. Posted: 6/9/2009 4:06:33 AM
OMG!! So you suggest that I am not 'adaptable to change' or able to 'see beyond the box' because PoF has removed all abilities to contact another person live, one on one??????????????? Are you kidding me?? I TOTALLY take that as insult. Why in the world would the only other method to communicate on the site, being via email, have ANYTHING whatsoever to do with the fact that the majority have spoken and it is that we want the IM returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evading then insulting myself and apparently others by making such a ridiculous suggestion as to open a 'disposable MSN or Yahoo ID' is firstly, not likely going to happen, is a complete waste of everyone's time, a redundant maneuver and of little use to anyone but yourself perhaps. Why would we? Why SHOULD we? Secondly, it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand being that you, the site, have some very upset and unhappy people who want the service returned or have some immediate method to communicate. Have you not been reading the posts? Please, my attempting to make some suggestions, which include me disputing monetary selfishness against Markus, to have some method of instant communication returned certainly didn't deserve being insulted. If that is the only representation of the site's attitude regarding customer concerns and service then it is obvious that there will be no moves made to make the majority want to continue to be part of this community. Regardless of all of it, 'disposable' or no, emailing and waiting for a reply that may or may not come, flipping back and forth between pages while waiting, is BOOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG. Thanks for your constructive offers of resolution.....oh......and insults. L

Actually, not so sure how anyone of us, besides Marcus and or Moderators , could tell if or not, there are any less 'idiots' when one couldn't know without being IM'd?? For those who did not enjoy the IM feature however, the option to shut it off for any one particular person, was always an option for them. Hence, no 'idiots'. ' Idiots' are still able to email. Now it give no one the choice to indulge in the feature or not. We ALL now have no way to chat live at all. BORRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG. L

Wow!!!!!! I can't express how disappointed I am in the IM being discontinued. I have been a member, on and off, since October 2006. Through all the nonsense, games, lies and phoniness I've still met some awesome people on this site. Without the IM however, 99% of those I wouldn't have even talked to at all!!!!!!! At the very least, obtain and set up a main chatroom for the general POF population to come to. This is after all as well as being a dating site, a gathering place, a social club, a place to offer opinions and converse. I find the site now to be extremely boring. I rarely come in but to just do a very quick look around and then leave whereas with the IM many times conversations would be had. There are many sites that have a main chatroom that is included with free memberships...this site being what it has been, very popular and with alot of traffic, needs to have some platform for people to chat one on one. As far as:" Since Marcus did away with the IM he has increased traffic tremendously, how? By having people log on continuously to check emails. What did that do ? It increased the value of his website by about 4 times. By trick or treat he's making even more money by doing away with a feature that everyone liked about the site and instead has opted for greed! Want to see? go to stimator.com and type in plentyoffish.com when the IM was first done away with the site was worth about 4.9 million... See it's worth today and see what drives it up... TRAFFIC! Greed" ......actually, I checked five minutes ago and in fact if that were Marcus' s motivation he's shot himself in the foot cause as of today his site worth in USD is $2,624,238., according to the very site suggested by 'Greed'. Let grab a grip here on reality and offer to, what appears to be the majority, some live one on one communication ability that those who don't care for can choose not to. Hoping for the reality check, Lynn

Plentyoffish Relationship Assessment. Posted: 7/6/2007 3:05:34 PM
Hey....did the new 'needs' assessment test and I must have answered some of the 'sexuality' questions and physical contact areas TOTALLY wrong!!! Is there any way to clear it and do again? All others were bang on except those two?
