I miss the IM. I think the site was better with it though admittedly it was sometimes screwed up but it never interfered with other functions on the site (for me anyway). And since you could turn off the IM I don't see how not having IM would increase users.

But if it's expensive and discontinued then there it is. I just wanted to say that I think finding a new IM would improve the site and increase the length of time users visit the site.
For the time being I'm setting up a hotmail account just for chatting with people from POF. Like others I find IM an easier way to chat and develop a rapport with strangers but don't want to have a bunch of people I don't know cluttering up my real msn.

I can see why some users think IM is going to be shifted exclusively to paid members but I don't see that happening. POF has proven that you can have a successful free dating site and that there is a demand for it. I'm sure they are aware that another free dating site will emerge if people have to pay for services on this one.
