is anyone else finding themselves feeling lost on this site? I don't know the best way to use this site. I've been on the chat room and no one is there. I've checked the forums but most of them haven't been updated in months. I don't know what clicking on the "Free Penpals" menu does but I just have not had any luck meeting people on the site at all. What's really weird is I see on the main page all these updates about people becoming friends but I don't know how they are even meeting. Does anyone have a clue? I'm considering deleting my profile. Does anyone else feel this way?

I even emailed my only friend, JJ, and haven't even received a response from him. Of course that was only a day ago, but I'm just feeling discouraged.

thanks for listening.

Hi Ebony. It is a low activity site. I love the format, diversity of culture and the quick ousting of scammer/spammers.

I suggest you look through recent postings and engage a few people. Worth the effort to hopefully make a few friends.

wow Ken, thank you for your reply. I will go. I just feel awkward thinking I'm just "friending" people I don't know. weird, like strangers.

lol

I know. I have patiently reached out to a few and there isn't a lot of activity here right now. What I do love about this site is its actively keeping spammers/scammers out. There are other sites more attuned to my blogging but this place is worth the effort I think.

thanks Ken! I think you're awesome! I decided to stay on the site because I think the penpal website is a great concept. <3
