I'd just like to vent about how incredibly frustrating it is to sign up to a site like this that has such potential, only to be disappointed once you register.
When I complete a search, the same names appear AND most of individuals have been inactive for >1 month.  I have since learned through the online counselors that this means that the profile should be considered inactive.
I know we can refine our searches by "newest first" or "last login time", but still, the same names reappear...
Either more advertisement is needed to make the selection pool larger, or we the users need to be able to filter our searches even further (i.e. login within x weeks).
It'd also be great to be able to use a filter when searching new members.
Just saying...

I agree. It really has potential but I think so many users are inactive.

...yep, I can see me leaving this site...no problem.  Even though JDride is lovely.  I beliieve he is single-handedly propping this site up.  tootles..xo!

Hard for gold members, and impossible for basic members.  The site does have potential, if you have the resources available to throw into it.  Time, discretionary funds, time... I've been expanding my search area in hope that I will find an active member somehow.  With vacation coming up shortly I don't have the extra income to become a gold member yet.

Another thing that's needed is to make this site attractive to stay on. Without a Gold Membership, you can't even communicate with other members in an efficient way. It's no wonder that we have a lot of inactive members...
