I like it here. It serves my purpose very well. But the limitation on number of messages allowed is a little irritating.

I like how the website is structured but I wish you could see when the last time people were active. I keep smiling people and I usually get responses like they haven't been active for a while. Id love this to become an app so I can get notifications, plus logging in everytime I open the site is kind of annoying. But I've had lots of success with gaining pen pals!! Love this site it's my go to for snail mail

This site has made a huge effort in seeing to it that members don't get scammed by sharing information with other members prematurely. They have specific timeframes as to when one can share pertinent contact information with each other.
