Wow where do i even start..... almost everyone of these sites has a Fake members database ( No wonder online dating has a stereo typed reputation ) did you all have your spines removed? What is the thought behind FAKES.... they suck no need for a fake user database do it the hard way and get real members as you will only piss people off using FAKES..... so what if it takes a little longer for your site to grow.
Maybe some of these sites would grow if they were not so cluttered and messy or had logos done by a 2nd grader in MS paint..... lose the windows 95 animated gifs.... ahhhhrrrrr is so painful to view these sites...
Grammar!! Hey my English is not up to par and i know it so i get someone to review my content and correct it where needed. Why do they do it to themselves ...ooooo look at me look at me look at my site... then you write an honest opinion without trying to be nasty and they get offended but still ask why they have no members.
Well getting members is not an easy task even asking good friends to join is like asking them to have teeth pulled.... so do your homework and do your SEO work if you can,t do it yourself get a Marketing company to help you get Links back, Blogs, reviews, social network post, Squidoo lenses, Press release and other items I have forgotten to write.
So grow a set and lose the FAKE database and invest that money in graphics as 99% of the sites listed are plain crap, gawd awful and a waste of disk space,
If you feel offended by reading this then you know I'm talking about your site, my tip don't get offended fix it and show me better.

I wasn't going to comment on this blog, but I've nothing better to do at the moment. What cracks me up about the fake profiles, is that people use up to 15,000 of them...rofl. If they just used a few hundred, it might actually pass as believable. The fake profile sites are pretty easy to spot.... especially when the members are ordered by registration date & time, and they are all in alphabetical order.
I'd see more
It's not as sophisticated as Photoshop, but it's got some really nice features and toolsets.
Facebook is is ugly as all get out no prizes for design there. still no blinking gifs
As for Photoshop, one thing is buying it, the other is knowing what to do with it..... so i,ll throw in a few tutorial sites to go with it if no one objects. As i looked at a few non blinking non gif logos that are ???? there is no nice way to write poo.

Let me mention this since you noted it; this is something I've been wondering about for a while now.
http://www.boonex.com/unity/txt/rules -> says: "Your profile details cannot include URLs or other forms of advertising."
Is this an old and outdated rule that is no longer expected to be followed? I personally think it only harms the level of networking among users. Perhaps users with a certain level of see more
Once upon a time (2002-2009) there was a social networking provider with mobile billing called SMS.ac. (And it's fun that "SMS.ac" is an anagram for "scams".) They used fake profiles in abundance, and would bill you for notifications sent to you from received messages. Some of their employees would use these bogus profiles for sending see more
After telling the advocate to be prepared for lots of laughter at the courthouse, there was a bit of quiet time, followed by a call from one of their execs and free flights to San Diego and back to look at their operations, and see if I perhaps wanted to come onboard. While they fixed the bulk of my complaints, and as a courtesy I took the reviews down, I never really found the time to get back to them or look at their dev platform. (The internets were still booming with bad rap all over.)
Look see more
I have seen such rules in place only on sites that intentionally try to lock users down to their service and internal payment system only, and prevent other ways of communication, for example to not let developers fix deals outside their commission setup.
