It's a good platform, the only thing I would recommend is a more modern feel to the site's appearance.

GPF makes it easy to find penpals that are looking for similar wants. I wish that the free version would allow me to see more than 5+ people at a time since I want to have options, and having the ability to see more than 5 chats at a time would make that a little bit easier
