The most frequent complaints I hear on Interpals.
1) "Why do we need an 'About me' section on our profile, when there's already a section for basically everything: hobbies, music, movies, etc.?"
- You have noticed correctly that there are many other sections to talk about yourself. But none is for your personality. So the "About me" section would be a good place to write about your personality. It would also be good for stuff that doesn't fit neatly in any other categories: For example, if you have frequent, annoying encounters with spiders at home and in public places, and you want to tell people about it.
2) "But why do I seem to be followed by spiders everywhere I go?"
- Are you familiar with the concept of pheromones?
3) "What's with this whole bookmarking thing anyway? If you're never going to write to someone and remain invisible, then why the hell do you bookmark?? "
- People often bookmark a page because it contains interesting writing and/or photos, which the person may want to come back later to read in more details. This same person may or may not feel a need to contact you. We all do that on other websites: we see an interesting webpage and decide to bookmark it, even though we see no reason to contact the site creator.
4) "I receive boring messages, which consist mainly of a few words: 'Hello'; 'How are you'...."
- Please refer to my note titled "Penpal 202", which was written specifically for tackling this problem.
5) "Could someone please do something about those stupid ads on Interpals?!"
- Sorry, can't help you there. The ads are the life blood of this site. But if you're desperate enough, simply disable javascript of your browser and the ads will stop appearing. Be warned that this will also disable many features and functions of the webpage.
