the contact process is better, the report process not so, suspicious characters while prevalent, are less

its really good i've made lots of friends but there are lots of banner ads blocking the screen and a lot of important words like the post received I can barely see anything there. ik u need money and I don't mind them too much, but pls at least lemme see the words. and pls lemme see more than the last 5 active conversations maybe 10 for free? then for more u get premuim? I want to talk to all my friends :( pls fix those things then u get 5 stars. Everything for free.

Lovely site to meet friends to exchange ideas and/or opinions. It also brings the world closer to home. I love travel and have natural curiousity about people and how/where they live.
