Review: Very Good Experience!
This is the best black dating website online, much better than BlackSingles.com. I have meet some really great Black women on this website. There are so many beautiful, quality black women to choose from on this website. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good experience.

Review: BEWARE JERRY ALLEN
BPM has mostly low quality liars on this site. Ladies beware of Jerry Allen. He lives in thorsby,al. When i met him on bpm he seemed like a nice honest person. About 2months after we began dating, always wondered why he always had cellphone off or wouldnt bring in the house. well i found out! got a hold of it and found texts from about 20 other women, naked pics, he had asked about 4 other women to marry him. He is on every website you can imagine looking for sex from women. when confronted he admitted that he had been with about 100 women sexually on these websites! he is on chat phone lines,match.com, yahoo and all other sites he can prey on women. If he contacts you run as fast as you can and dont look back. he is just a nasty whore

Review: jhon
This site is bad news they will disable your IM there if they find you active or a threat to the scammers they harbor
It is definitely scammers web site be careful of EVA49 her profile is fake and big time scammer she works for them and spy on people all night long you will find her after midnight and she will block your IM and spy on you
This is a very bad site bbpeoplemeet media and their affiliates include senior peoplemeet
They make their money through scamming people men and women watch out of the fake young girl’s pics they usually Africans’ thugs work for the site

Review: Personally not a fan
Let me start off my saying I have a good friend who has been in a long distance relationship with a guy she met like seven months ago using this site. They are going strong, so the site can have some success. No she was not a size two, light-skin, or "model type". But, she was cautious, which made all the difference in the experience.

My experience has been most of the men want to move to fast, by giving out their numbers and email addresses. I personally would prefer to chat online for a month. But, most of the men on this site like to move fast. Plus, the men will come to your page and send a flirt with no message. They rarely take the time to read your entire profile. Overall, the men just seem too eager, move to fast, and many lie about being single. I deleted my account. I would suggest women who are looking to meet men, go out in your communities and get involved. You will meet plenty of men that way. While it is no guarantee that the man will be honest, it is more likely.

Chat on a messenger for at least a month before meeting any man on this site, look for patterns, trust your gut, and do a background check if you feel yourself getting serious about the person! The price of $49 for a background check is cheap, compared to a potential heartbreak. Background will tell you if they have signed birth certificates, are married, criminal record, bankruptcy record. Plus, do a reverse number search to find out who their number is registered to and research that person. Good luck ladies!

Review: I am not going to renew with blackpeoplemeet.com
When I first saw blackpeoplemeet.com. I thought hey, maybe this is a good site to meet a new friend that I might have in common with. So yeah I paid for the membership fee for the month. And my overall experience was disatisfied. I have tried messaging women with the up most gentleman like manner. I read all the profiles before even starting a conversation so I wont look like a jackass during the conversation. Still no response. Even sometimes I get flirts and I message them back with no response. I never comeoff thirsty what so ever. I always start with a conversation with hello? how are you and how is your day going so far? Idk I guess I am saying the wrong things. I know that I am a still a college student pursing my engneering degree but I still have a job in which I use that money to go out or to hold on to on my rainy days. Its not like I am a ugly guy nor do I lie about my profile nor myself because I would look stupid doing that. Anyways I am done with this site and I will not renew my subscription. I am clearly disapointed with the website and will not recommend it to anyone.

Review: DO NOT JOIN
Blackpeople have insisted that they have never received the money. I have been in contact with Western union a number of times who pin point down to the minute that the money was taken from the account. Blackpeople.com have don’t nothing, no investigation, not looked any further, they just email me back telling me that they did not get the money and that I sent it to the wrong place, or that western union is wrong. In nearly three months they have done no more than tell me " thank you for your email". Unfortunately for my I did not do a review of the company before hand otherwise I would have seen that this is something they do more offend than not. I hope you see this before joining, there are other respectable and save sites to join. DO NOT JOIN BLACK PEOPLE.COM there business is fraudulent

Review: LAUGHING @ THESE COMMENTS ... LOL
After reading a few comments about BPM .. I find it hard to believe that most people take online as if its a new way to find HONEST people. ARE YOU SERIOUS? -WOW get Steve Harvey books ASAP! There's no difference, online or offline there are men and women jokers out to get what they can get from a innocent person. However, one question why are you seeking in the first place? There's the problem (you post Serious relationship-Marriage) .. Use the words PEN PAL-Friendship- and stick to your guns that'll give you time to see what you're really dealing with ..Come on Ladies .. you know how to get info if you want it badly... Women are walking P I's lol. No man or woman cannot get anything from you .. unless you give it to them (( HELLOOOO )) BTW: WHY DO MOST OF THE WOMEN HAVE PHOTOS OF THEIR FAMILY (children) and BEST FRIEND LADIES? The profile is about you and you only ... stick too that! .. STOP TAKING SHIRTLESS PHOTOS OF MEN OR WOMEN SERIOUSLY ... WHEN YOU CUT YOUR COMPUTER OFF - BLOCKED .. THEY ARE OFF/BLOCKED TOO lol...

Everyone one on this site is not a player, gold digger, married, common law, liars and losers.(personally know a lot of friends that have gotten married since 2007-present on BPM. You take the time like when you're buying a car, home, finding a new job, and allowing a new friend into your life. STOP LOOKING SO DARN HELPLESS AND HOPELESS cause a player can see that in you first hand.. STAND YOUR GROUND.. STRONG WILL .. and I bet the next player fool come your way he or she will run so fast lol..

BPM isn't the one that's lying and trust when I say other dating sites that are way too expensive have the same results (PLAYERS, FOOLS etc.)... You are in control of that photo/profile (block works-if not report to your local police dept)... Have fun on Black People Meet ... because no one can take your joy .. When you're standing firm...

HINT: A wise man or woman will never lower his or her standards... Pay for only one month at a time...and can cancel anytime ... You wouldn't pay for 3 months or 6 months on rental shoes and matching purse; not knowing anything about it product. (( You do have a BRAIN you know? USE IT THINK 1st by taking your time ))

Review: Ladies, use your heads the way you would in person
I've appreciated reading all the comments about BPM on here. I was a member awhile back and recently became active again and I've been surprised at how the quality of the men on the site has declined --- men in profiles with no shirt on, making demands about who can or should contact them, men who can't spell and/or use poor grammar, men who write nothing on their profiles and men in general who are not necessarily "catches" for a variety of reasons, but seem to reflect that they think they are by what they write on their profiles. Ladies, I would just say this -- if someone has photos on their profile showing them in various states of undress, if they say in their profile that they are only looking for penpals or if their profile name is something overly suggestive, then this is not someone who you should pursue for a long term relationship. Also, just use your common sense. I recently met someone on the site who seemed terrific at first...he was someone with whom I could converse, educated, seemed respectful, etc. etc., but after we met, various things he said/did began to set off tiny alarm bells. He also was very secretive about where he lived and worked. I hightailed it out of there before I could find out what the issue was, but after reading some of the other reviews on here, I'm sure the issue was that he was married or living with someone. So just be careful ladies and use your heads. And I'll just add this last thing -- I'm giving BPM one month. To be honest, some of the men I see on this site are downright scary. If I walked into a social function and saw some of these people, I would leave. I've written on my profile that I'm looking to be friends first and then will see if romance develops. I was shocked at how the number of responses I got dwindled after I wrote that. But I also will say that the quality of people who have reached out to me has gone up tremendously. Just a thought for you to consider. Good luck everyone.

Review: Watch out for PANMAM!!
I've been off and on this. Hoping that I would meet someone decent/honest. This guy PANMAM is a liar, he's married, with children. He portrays himself as a Rasta farian, but he uses that as a ploy to pull black woman in. I agree with some of the comments. But I don't blame the site. Its the people on there. All the dating sites have them. Just do your homework, don't be so desperate to have anybody, because thats what you'll get. Remember, just because they're sending you all those flirts, mean nothing, hundreds more are getting them too. Thats the purpose whoever answers first and sounds the most promising gets the prize. But what kind of prize. I've gotten off here and intend not to go on this one again. Keep your respect and dignity and be careful. Guard your heart. and Good Luck!

Review: Scam/Con Artist and Sex Addict
Ladies... Please beware of JFITNESS4LIFE from Owings Mills, Maryland. He is a con artist and is married still living with his wife. He will ask you for money and wants nothing but sex. His conversations consists of past relationships he's had with various women and how they all ended in turmoil. Do not trust this man. He will first tell you he's living with his brother sleeping on a couch and his brother does not allow visitors based up a previous incident where a women busted out his corvette windows in his driveway. He travels the entire east coast visiting different women and uses the "I'm at the gym" as an excuse to his whereabouts. He no longer has the abs his photos portray those are photos from years ago. This guy suffers from dilusions of granduer where he thinks he's more than what he really is. He will lie and tell you he's educated, but all he has is certifications in pest control. BEWARE of this guy and stay away.

Review: It's All in What You Make It, But Beware
I was on this site on and off for about 6 months. I received hundreds of e-mails and ended up establishing an offline connection with only 2 guys. First guy sounded great, but found out he lied about having kids (said on his profile he had none but he had 3) and about being married (said he was divorced when he was really separated). Since it was long distance I cut my losses and moved on to guy No. 2. This guy seemed to be the total package but he actually ended up decieving me the most. And he is still probably on the site with his games, so please ladies... STAY AWAY FROM TJONES1006! The first thing he will do is ask u for your Facebook account, which is odd since he doesn't really know u. Once u become friends on FB with him, u can c that most of his friends are women he met on bpm. I honestly don't know why they are dumb enough to stay on his Facebook after knowing his true character. He comes across as a nice, respectable well-to-do career man, when really he is a sexual deviant. Our third date, he asked me to bring a friend for a potential threesome. Needless to say I was shocked and disgusted. Ladies, it is what u make it, but please weed through the BS. Learn how to search the local clerk of courts where these men live before u get in too deep. And even if nothing comes up, you're not in the clear just yet. Learn how to evaluate personality for unhealthy, destructive or deviant behavior. Remember, most mentally unstable sociopaths have 2 standout qualities that allow them to easily manipulate people: good looks and charm

Review: Mature Adults Beware
I was on this site off and on for about 2 years. I did meet a couple of good friends however I did find that most of the men were just looking for a roll in the hay. To my surprise, the older guys 40-50 were just as immature as some of the younger ones and they too are only looking for a roll in the hay. Please be careful if you run across 2GHOST. He is a 50 year old jerk who is a truck driver and he is only looking for sex when he stops in your town. He is also on several other dating sites as well. Also don't let those picture mislead you , he looks old and broke down in person. Please be very careful on this site, there are a lot of wolves in sheeps clothing lurking on Black People Meet.

Review: terrible outcome for dating
I have been a member on BPM since Dec of 2009, and I have had some horrible experiences, as well as meeting some great friends for life, I feel it is too easy to create a profile on the site and create a user name and access this site.All in all Ido not recommend BPM to any lady, try another site...

Review: Good Harem Hunting
I have put together a serious little harem from BPM - Thanks guys I love this site.

The site is full of horny 30 somethings who slept with about 40 guys while partying through their 20s now they expect some guy to settle down and make a wife out of them - Please. But I will keep tapping them thangs though.

Review: MEN On BPB Are Emotionally Jacked Up
The majority of the jackals on BPM are MARRIED or playing house. Ladies, do much homework and research before you become emotionally attached to them. don't entertain profiles that do not have pictures posted because HECK NO he can't send pictures to your email address regardless of what "high profile" job he claims to have that supposedly keeps him from posting his pictures - THAT IS A PLAYED OUT LINE.

Don't entertain profiles that claim they are "God Fearing" men whom love the Lord. These dudes have 3-4 (sometimes more) children by 2-3 women and don't know their children's birthdays or what grades they're in. So, a "God Fearing" man who SHOULD be active in church can't find his helpmeet not only in his congregation but amongst the spiritual community at that, yeah right!

These losers are tore up from the floor up and lack common sense and the skills necessary to maintain stable employment; thus "self employed" or "retired". These guys don't have the mental capacity to know how to be a MAN because they were never taught by a MAN. These guys are on BPM for straight up sex and nothing more. This one guy from the midwest has changed his username at a minimum 4 times within the last 4 years. They hunt for "New Users" and run their lame game to them because they don't know any better.

DO NOT TRAVEL TO MEET OR VISIT THEM because you will be disappointed. A huge majority of these monkeys are MARRIED. Save your money and let him put in the effort to create the relationship from all aspects.

BPM is THE ghetto online singles site and I no longer listen to Steve Harvey because he partnered with them.

MEN come at you telling you want you want to hear with hidden agendas and ulterior motives ..... SEX! I almost had to get a Restraining Order on one monkey because he wanted to keep me in his back pocket for sex when I told him I no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON BLACK PEOPLE MEET

I've been on this site for about 2-3 yr's off and on. I've reached to several women and they never reply or they reply once and then move on. I'm an educated BM and not playing any games. These women on this site are something else. One does better to just attend different events and meet people. My membership expires 6/23 and I will not renew.

Review: Disaster - Do not Join
I joined this site hoping to meet a professional black man to date and perhaps have a serious relationship with but was I disappointed. It was the worst experience ever. I agree with the reviews posted about how deceptive the men are on this site. They seem to be in it for sex. I went out with a few guys and chatted with many more. They were less than sincere and promptly moved on when I wasn't interested in having sex with them upfront. They did not seem to be interested in conversing and getting to know me at all. The quality of the matches were poor. Most of them could barely spell and some of them could not carry an intelligent conversation. The ones that appeared educated wanted casual relationships. Not the site for you if you are looking for a serious relationship. I think of these men as predators. Some of them admitted to being members forever (looking for new prey no doubt). One of my dates could not keep his hands to himself the entire time we were together on our first and only date. I should have known that he was a jerk when he started making suggestive comments to me at dinner but I was hoping that I was wrong. After all in his profile he boasted about being a gentleman. But by the end of the night I felt unsafe and unclean. I was lucky that I got home safely. Beware ladies. If you choose to join make sure you that you take care of your safety. But I strongly recommend that you don't waste your time or your money.

Review: I don't know yet.
I've only been a member for a brief time and haven't had any real interaction as of yet but i was overlooking these reviews and felt discouraged of the male bashing and so fourth. I am a young black male and i honestly consider myself a very decent guy. I'm noticing a pattern of "liars" and "sex addicts" in these posts and I'm not sure if these are a bunch of jaded, suspicious females jumping conclusions or if the male population really appears that awful. I just wanted to say don't be discouraged ladies... some of us are okay and its annoying and frustrating how the immature men overwhelm the decent and make is harder on us. (which is a major reason i resort to the site in the first place) The site doesn't seem to have any problems with efficiency and overall seems welcoming and approachable. I will be back with a real review when and if make any contacts.

Review: Nothing's Perfect!
I never had any problems with the site within itself. It's very simple and basic. I have had some positive and negative associations with the members. The biggest was the fact that some of the men I conversed with were solely interested in having sex. It appears to have something to do with their ego's. I guess they've slept with all the females who would allow them to in there hometown and decided to make a wider search. I have no problem if that's what they want to do. However, that's not what I was looking for. I have met some men in person and chatted with many who I can add as a friend. I like the site better than eharmony or anything like that because it is "real". A note of advice, there are alot of men and I'm sure also woman on here merely for the "game" but there are some who are serious. Trust your intuition, don't fret over someone else's baggage or comments because you have the strongest tool right in front of you...the delete button. To you ladies and also men who decide to continue with this site, I wish you the best and much safety in your search.

Review: Lacking people with "real" people conversation
I had to make a change with the guys I have been meeting so I decided to try Black people Meet. I have found that the men on this site are not honest. I have nothing to compare to it, but the actual dating process. So I guess I will deal with real life dating and look for shoes on the internet:)

Review: Stay By Yourself
If you want a good laugh for 30 days at 14.95, this is the place for you. After being married for most of my adult life and divorcing I decided to try this online site especially since Steve Harvey is now promoting it. OMG! What a disaster waiting to happen! I am really surprised that they are still in business! This site is a joke. The people on there are a joke. Some people have been on there so long that they have probably retired from work. Its crazy. As much issues as we have in the black community, you would think this would be a good place to connect. WRONG!

Review: Singles Beware
If you are looking for a quick date or a nice chat on the internet this is the site for you. However if you are seriously looking for LOVE you may want to pay a lil bit more for a website that specialized in "hooking people up" because all of the technical aspects of the dating game are totally left up to you (including trying to figure out wether or not it's a real male or not). When it comes to security and tracking there are once again some hazards such as anyone and everyone can pop up on your computer screen and comense to chatting with you. NOT FUN. But if you are doing an overall social examination of African American singles and how they behave on a website then this would be the ideal place for you to gather your data. I give it the thumbs down.

Review: IT'S UP TO YOU
As others have said, It's a dating site (meat market) Yet it's not much diffrent from the people you encounter daily in your real life. Don't let anyone ever rush you into a meeting or giving your phone number until you feel comfortable to do so. Ladies there are sooo many ways you can at least check the guy out and verify if he's being truthful.There are many free sites that will tell you a persons age, All you need is the name and home state. you can check local tax rolls if he claims to own property. There are public records that show you family court cases, Civil cases ect, See if he's been sued for child support. charged with domestic violence or what ever. You can check criminal and traffic court records also. Of course all of this is only neccessary if it's someone that you may be seriously considering a relationship with. Just remember you must do your homework regardless of how you meet a person these days, And this goes for the guys also. With all of that said I feel that one dating site is as good as the next, Becuz it greatly expands the pool of people that will cross your path. All from the privacy of your home, That you would never have met before. I have never had a bad experience, I've met many guys this way and most of them are still friends today.

Review: Liars of the Year Award--Most Here Have Won
I've found this site to carry liars, deceivers, con artists and again liars, married men posing as single men, and gay men deciding they want a woman now. When I started, I thought this was the way to go, but I don't feel that way anymore. The people I've met and have actually seen are not who they say they are and they lie up until the very end. I believe there just has to be a few honest, sincere ones, but I'm not sure anymore. Wow, an entire site, and can't locate one decent, honest person!!!!

Review: The Future of Dating in this Century
I have been on BPM for three years off and on. I love this site, because you meet professional males and positive people.The key of it is to present yourself in a positive way with higher standards.Try to be honest, yes you will run across dishonest people.Life is full with all interesting people, that's what makes us unique.Thanks to BPM,I found its not only a dating site, but a network of helpful people.There has been people who met on BPM and is now married.Recently, called a friend I met on BPM.He said,he met a lady on BPM and they plan on getting marry. This is one way of the future using technology.Keep it real and have fun learning each other. Love will find the way... Set high standards,be POSITIVE, and repect yourself and others.

Review: Buyer Beware
I have been a member of BPM off and on, for about 6 months. I met one gentleman and traveled to Ohio, to meet him, he was nothing like the profile and suffice to say, i was not impressed. Secondly, i met a gentleman, but did not "meet" in person, after finding out he was a recovering heroin addict, and in a court ordered drug program. I dont know why i continue to go back and forth with BPM, i guess i keep hoping i will find my diamond in the rough. Overall, though i would not recommend this site, to females looking for a quality single.

Review: Never again
I was a member on this site on and off for about 6 months. Although I enjoyed the attention it was very discouraging. I actually never had a problem with the site itself but the quailty of men suck!! I met goldiggers, married men who said they were single,and sex craved indivuals who lied about the info on their profiles. Yes I had some nice meals and actually some good conversation but ladies please be careful. I don't think I would ever go back on that site again...well I know I will never go back.

Review: Give it a try!
I have had a very positive experience with this site. It was very easy to navigate, I did not experience problems with being logged off, and I met some very nice men who actually matched their profile. During a 60-day period I was contacted by over 200 men and was able to easily weed out the good from the bunch, it is to be expected to have some fools on these sites, but the site cannot control that. Overall my experience was positive and I am still in contact with several people I met on the site.It has increased my social circle on the local level.

Review: BPM Good for the price
I found BPM to be a inexpensive, user friendly site. I don't experience problems with be logged off (unless I've been inactive for extended time). Reading the reviews of others here makes me think that maybe the site is filled with folks just looking sex. Let's face it, the internet makes that convenient. You can't fault the site for that, fault the folks that post there. In my case, I don't receive a whole lot of attention when I post that I'm looking for friendship or a pen pal. Then again, it could very well just be me. Overall, I think BPM has a lot of potential and is priced nicely. However, they can't control who posts. The thing we should ALL do is be honest on our profiles.

Review: Yo...this is stupid
Gotta admit I saw promise in this site and after I had ponyed up my dough it went straight to hell. The women never email you back unless you send them some 'balla' photos. I sent my plain photos and was promptly but sweetly let go even though I'm a decent looking guy. But When I sent photos of the whips and crib it was all butter. Man, this is some hoodrat type s%$@ for real and I really expected more but there you go-it's mad cheap for a reason. I will not be extending my membership and will look for greener pastures, or blacker pastures lol!

Review: Get your money back!
This website is nothing different like the others, to get a piece of ass. It's not just men, women too. So don't let the website be a negative, it's the people on the website. I have met lots of women from this website and they all have issue with sex, they wanna fuck just as bad as the men, so I fucked them all like the hoes they were. Many of them lied about their status with ex-relationships. Many of them have old pics so they can hide thier wieght however, that's with all the websites out there.

Review: Make yourself knowledgeable
My experience with BPM has not been bad at all. Actually this site is no different from any of the others. I think it is the person whose doing the seeking. Ladies, if your going to approach online dating, make yourself knowledgeable about how it works, the men, and what your looking for in a mate. These men are only going to do what you allow them to do. If you have bad experiences on BPM, its on you. I have been on this site with a balance of good and bad. I have never been decieved, the men I met, were who they said they were. I weed out losers with knowledge about men and online dating. The cost is cheap, but I don't have a problem with it. It's not about cost, just know what your dealing with before you start dealing and you want be decieved with sex, money, and games. I agree, they are out there in full force, but don't blame it on the site, blame it on your lack of knowledge.

Review: LIARS GAME
Joined Blackpeoplemeet thinking that at least the brothers would be honest with the sisters. Men on this site use phrases they dont have a clue about but know women would want to hear. Why cant they be honest enough to say they are seeking sexual encounters instead of stating they are seeking serious relationships? Or better still why not join the adult sites if all they are looking for is sex? They go through profiles without reading them, just stopping by the profile long enough to send a wink before moving on to the next profile. Now be serious, how much can a wink say? And have you noticed most men on this site make six figure incomes? Now who said the economy sucks? BE CATIOUS, IT IS ALL A LIARS GAME. The site itself will kick you off every 2minutes and you would have to sign in again.

Review: Horrible site
This is a horrible site and very misleading with their advertising. This site is full of lying creeps. The men tend to be seeking women for sex and their bank accounts. Please be aware of "Blosbor". This man is smooth with his game. He presents caring and "in need of love". He talks about how he has been hurt by his ex-wife, when in fact there is no ex-wife. How do I know, his "wife" called me on the phone. This was not what I signed up for. I ran into a drug dealer and another man who was son clingy, needy, and down right deseparte. The experience was disappointment. But what do you really expect for a cheap site. You get what you pay for. Be careful ladies.

Review: Don't waste your time
Being new to online dating, I gave this site a try. The quality is poor. Even when I declined matches, they would still send messages. I paid for an "upgrade" via e-check and it took weeks to clear and allow me access to the rest of the site. I didn't appreciate some of the language and topics people felt so comfortable including in their profiles. If you're trying to meet somebody, I don't think having a sexual term within a screen name is attractive.

Review: Overall Review of this Website
This is the "cheesiest" website I have ever experienced. It is chocked full of loosers,players,freaks, and liars. I am happy that I have a great sense of humor because this webiste is a complete joke. As the other reviewer stated you get what you pay for and this is a very "cheap" website. And yes technically speaking it is poorly operational as it does sign-off users constantly automatically.

Review: False Advertising
BlackPeopleMeet will not delete the profiles of discontinued members. This gives people the impression you are an available member when you are not. This site also offers "free" membership, as well as the upgraded membership. The free membership does not allow you the use of ANY services except to look at profiles, and to see who has looked at yours. You cannot see who has winked or sent email to you, nor can you read those messages. Tango Wire seems to have the best accessibility to services, whether you are a paid or unpaid member. They rank highest on my list of dating sites. I use BBWDatefinder.com, although they have access points for many interest areas.

Review: Agree with Don. Quality of Site
I really tried to give the website a chance. I agree with the previous reviewer. Kicks you off when you are viewing profiles. Throws you off the site requiring you to re-login when you were already in the site. Instant messaging system sucks. Go into profile and there are messages sitting there but, not notified. Ask for the last 10 day profile and receive profiles of individuals that have been on the site for months. Not satisfied at all.

Review: BlackPeopleGetBootedOff
Let's be honest. Low fee equals low quality. The website also logs you out every minute or so. It's very frustrating to navigate through the website when it kicks you off every other click. It's practically impossible to do a search and you can forget using the instant messaging feature. Spend the extra money and join a quality service.
