I realize any dating site, free or otherwise has to have visible users to remain viable, however, when I peruse the 'matches', I find 99% of them have not been online in over a month. That tells me they've moved on, gotten tired of waiting....etc. Users who are LOOKING for a relationship or whatever should be required to log in at least weekly or be 'greyed out' so the rest of us know we're spinning our wheels trying to contact them.

Dude, the fact that they haven't been seen in over a month should be enough to let you know not to try to contact them.

Mingle2 is not accepting suggestions at this time,
however, yours has been noted.

Keep in mind also..that a member is notified
immediately by email (if they have that set up)
when they receive mail or Nudges or such, and
can return at any moment if they have interest
in it, no matter how long they have been away :-0

I am always in stealth mode. I do not know if it shows when I was on here last. It could read, "over a month." But like Soufie said, I do get notifications when I get mail. So I come back and respond if I feel like it.

I wasn't on in over a month either but its called life. Sometimes work, or family/personal problems get in the way and really do you want these people to come on line when their head is not in the game. Give those people some slack as they may just be very busy.
