      hey there
      ok, wow, i just thought it was something to do with the internet connection. but all other websites seem to be working. just not plentyoffish.com.

      what exactly is happening with it?

      thanks

    2. michelle says:

      yeah, when i type it into the address bar, it sayd that internet explorer cannot display the webpage

    3. Kurds says:

      yeahh it says connection is broken : (

    4. evelynlovely says:

      It didnt work for me either. is it shut down?

    5. Cher says:

    8. stacy says:

      i have tried for over 2hours and it said link broken,can not find page……..we need this site back up and running

    9. Jacqueline says:

      Yeah same with mine. Anyone know when it will be back up and running?

    10. Richard says:

      Wait and see…the founder will be selling out to another company and this is his exit plan. By Friday there will be an announcement that Match.com or some other dating site has “taken over”…now the fish will no longer be swimming “free”.

    11. Jacqueline says:

      I thought I had a virus, and spent hours trying to figure it out. Want to talk to a new friend!

    12. andy says:

      Lot of people looking for a date

    13. LM says:

    15. wearing a wolf shirt. says:

      i just joined this morning, and apparently my rugged good looks and boyish charms were to much. All 300,000 fat and knocked up girls immediately rushed to email me. I apologize, its just the way god made me, its my cross to bare.

    16. Johnny Boy says:

      Get it fixed boys I have Fish to Fry!!!!

    17. JR says:

      I really enjoy this site Plentyoffish. Is it being worked on or is it done for?

    18. nick cucinella says:

      ok folks if they shut it down, then its time to join facebook

    19. Jrob says:

      Plentyoffish is down due to a power outage in dowtown Vancouver Canada.

    20. bebe31 says:

      Yes all of the others internet page are working fine but plentyoffish.

    21. Diane says:

      I am glad I saw this message. I thought my computer was acting up. I wonder how long it will be down.

    22. Scott says:

      Its just jewish, I got ho’s to meet better get that site back up bitch

    23. yeah says:

      plenty of fish is for losers maybe if you people got out of the house then you would meet normal people

      • Kayla says:

        your a loser dude. You took the time to be an a.s.s and obviously have nothing better to do. Maybe you should take your own advice!

    24. jodi says:

      so do we know an estimated time for it to be up and running…its almost been a full 12 hrs since i was last able to log on…

    25. rk says:

      any news on when it gets back up

    26. Sunshine says:

      Damn. Whats going on with the POF site? It says high traffic, and the site is out of service. I hope it will be back running soon and no info was lost. This sucks.

    27. The Great One says:

      Yeah, POF site is down. Hope you can live without it for a couple of days. The dude that runs it can’t have everything for free.

    28. Kristiana says:

      Of course it happens the day you actually meet somebody interesting and can`t wait to e-mail them again

    29. reg says:

      Yeah I got some weird connections too. Does anyone have an eta on when the site will be back up?

    30. Rachel says:

      Ack! How frustrating! I check my account daily, and I was frustrated when it wouldn’t come up. Thought at first that it was the new computer… *bummer*.

    31. Rachel says:

      Any idea when it will be back up? I’ve noticed that the site maintanence isn’t the best – the IM hasn’t been working for weeks….

    32. C.C. says:

      Loud sigh of relief from all of us at the MI/IN border…thought we were ‘kicked’ off site…glad to hear it’s because of heavy traffic…going through withdrawel…can’t wait to be back on…happy fishing soon…we all hope! :)

    33. wondering says:

      When did it go down? I’ve naturally been waiting for a response from someone all day and obsessively checking my email and have only now discovered that the site is down since I’ve gotten home.

    34. C.C. says:

      Loud sigh of relief from all of us at the MI/IN border…thought we were ‘kicked’ off site…glad to hear it’s because of heavy traffic…going through withdrawel…can’t wait to be back on…happy fishing soon…we all hope! :) Hope up and running SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    35. Kayla says:

      yeah first it said it was busy, then it said it was a bad request, and then it said the connection is broken. I also thought there was something wrong with my internet connection and have messing with it all day. I am glad to see these messages because I was getting quite frustrated.

    36. Jim says:

      Maybe its a sign from up above for people to get off their asses and actually go out and literally meet someone instead of hiding behind a computor and playing fantasy games

      • Kayla says:

        maybe a sign but not fantasy games. You obviously have not met anyone that excites you. Maybe its your attitude. Thats a thought.

        • Plenty Of Fishy comments says:

          Jim is just mad because he is too ugly to put his face up on a profile in the fact that people would be asking him to remove it because it is too hideous. That or as you can tell he doesn’t have a lick of intelligence and the only way he can pick up a date is if they are drunk and unable to walk. This is typical of people who can’t hold a decent conversation besides “hey look at my hair”. In other words… he’s probably gay. :)

    37. REal MAN says:

      PLENTY OF FISH should be named PLENTY OF IDIOTS. Losers go on that site because it is free. You get what you pay for. In this case, POF, you get the scraps from the table of the world. I hope it never comes back.

    38. mmmm says:

      look at us…can’t even go a day without POF, then we resort to googling about the issues the site might be having…i’m seriously thinking about suing marcus for this addiction lol

    39. rk says:

      cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/07/14/bc-underground-fire-downtown-vancouver.html

      this article says earliest is tuesday.

    40. mike says:

      i pooped my pants

    41. Ryan says:

      Haha, could you imagine if it never came back online and you were one email away from getting someone’s phone number or full name? (Kind of my situation, actually). Then you’d probably never see them again! Kind of funny, you gotta admit. We’d have to revert back to old-fashioned “fate”… waiting sucks!

    42. mike says:

      NORDOST

    43. Jerry says:

      Probably cleaning out all the b.s on there.

    44. mike says:

      i cant log into wal-mart.com

    45. Toolhead says:

      The IM service wont be returning ever! The site may be up and running in a few days but will no longer be free!

    46. Santeria says:

      WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    47. jaosn says:

      well i hope its up and running soon because that will suck i mean its fun meeting new people for free instead of having to pay outradious prices for eharmony or something

    48. Sparkie says:

      Power in the Vancouver downtown core will not be fully restored until at earliest some time Tuesday, following an explosion of an underground transformer that started a fire and sent plumes of smoke up through a manhole cover, BC Hydro said.

    49. lucylou says:

      does this mean that our profiles are deleted forever?

      • lollalemon says:

        yes… we are all gone!! don;t worry- start thinking of a new name… then you will be one step ahead when the mad rush of signing on starts…. i am going to be foxy moxie… lmao again.. got to say – this is more fun here than pof!!!

    50. lucylou says:

      this article is dated July 2008….I don’t believe it applies to this circumstance
      cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/07/14/bc-underground-fire-downtown-vancouver.html

    51. who 8 my poptart says:

      guess he forgot to pay his electric bill .

      • Wunmurra says:

        The plenty of Fish site is working again – (0) users online – but working -lol

        • bRENT says:

          The site is back down again…..1:13pm EST. It was down for over 16 hours yesterday and once again has gone down again about the same time it did yesterday. This site is not a good and stable site. Not only is it down an aweful lot you start seeing the same fakes on there over and over again. This site is not very good in its selection and people who have been screened to be real…and not spammers. Good luck..but I am off the site as of today for good.

    52. Ryan says:

      Btw, ignore that guy’s CBC link referring to the power outage in Vancouver. He failed to notice the date on the article… July 14, 2008! Duh.

    53. systane says:

      isn’t that article old from last year?

    54. JC_TX on POF says:

      If it smells like fish it aint my dish!!!!! bahahahahahahaha!!!!

    55. Eros says:

      I hope POF is back up and running soon, it is always good to browse and meet new people.

      To all of you who trash talk about POF, I respect your point of view, but, what are you doing in this place anyway?

      Everybody and anybody is free to day-dream of play fantasy games…

      HAVE FUN, THAT IS WHAT IT COUNTS!

    56. nra1911 says:

      Check the date on that story…that fire was in July 2008!!!

      cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/07/14/bc-underground-fire-downtown-vancouver.html

      this article says earliest is tuesday.

    57. Kenny says:

      even I got laid off that site not once but thrice!

      they owe me NOTHING

      hope it comes back soon…

    58. Joe Biden says:

      Looks like you’ll have to resort to pounding off to softcore on skinimax

    59. Pepper says:

      Though I’m sure there are those that do sit on a computer all day, there are also those of us that do go out and meet people in addition to being on POF. Double your chances of making a connection.

      As for the financial end of things, the guy has already started a sort of subscription service where the benefit of paying is you get a gold seal on your profile, get to customize it, etc… so I don’t believe that money is the issue at the moment because I’ve seen tons of people that are paying. Not to mention the ad revenue he’s getting for the links all over the place (pay per clicks and banner ads).

      Everybody just chill. The site will be back, and your sweethearts will still be there. If they’re not, well there’s Plenty of Fish in the sea.

    60. lollalemon says:

      imagine how many people in the world now are on edge cause they can;t get on…

      lmao!!!! so funny…. i am a member too- and went thru a little withdrawal.. ok now!!!
      where is my frickin date?????
      could not make arrangements…. no mail…. damn…. hope he doesn;t find another fish- ummmm…. jokin….

      server been down for awhile- and heh.. i am from victoria- no fire in vancouver… fyi

    61. mykdub says:

      whats up with plentyoffish.com whys it not working.

    62. Boise Chick says:

      I updated my pictures today and I guess all them ugly guys with one arm way bigger than the other all stopped masturbating to e-mail me and overloaded the server. I did see a couple of cute ones today but I’ll just berate them and demasculate them and leave them a worthless …..wait…they all ready are worthless.

      • work2ride says:

        Say what you want, women are all whores except for our mothers. You are good for two things, sex and nothing.

    63. mike says:

      my anal cyst hurts

    64. kate says:

      Wow interesting comments. Relax everyone it will be back on. Thats electronics for ya. For those of you that are a little skeptic of the site some of us don’t like going to bars where the regs likes to sleep around with each other. Also for some of us we aren’t around places where we can “meet” people. So i think dating sites are great. Its all good. Go read a book or something and it should be back on before you know it. I too thought something was wrong with my computer at first but i figured it out. Things happen. Anyway take care and happy fishing with it opens back up.

    65. Queen Diva says:

      Ahhh, the highlight of my night is gone!

    66. lollalemon says:

    67. DANETTE says:

      its back up guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    68. Richard says:

      POF goes POOF ! New York Daily News 6/9/2009

      The site owner said he got a call today from a representative from Microsoft. Basically they gave him an “offer he couldn’t refuse” if your old enough to remember when that phrase was popular.

      Well he tried to play hardball with the numbers, and two thugs in suits showed up at his apartment, worked him over, and then smashed his server. Okay so being high tech does not mean high ethics. So now while he’s at the E.R wondering if it will be safe to go back to his apartment the entire lonely English speaking world waits for POF to be rebuilt.

    69. Jacqueline says:

      yay back up! with 0 online… wow thats a first!

    70. BRANDON says:

      WOO HOO SITES BACK UP

    71. belle says:

      OMG! I thought they banned me from the site. Too funny. I wonder what happened though. Well, I see it’s back on.:)

    72. Jensi says:

      POF goes POOF quantity does not mean quality..nuff said?

    73. lollalemon says:

      well – bad news… it is not back on as of now- same issues… i wonder if they will keep my roses again!
      damn them…. 11;30 a.m pacific time wed june 10th

    74. dan says:

      Like to watch Stargate Atlantis episodes and also Lost. I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

    76. david says:

      Servers break down, its a lot of work keeping a good website like plentyfish.com going, hdd fans they all need replacing or cleaning every month or so.

    77. david says:

      There’s only 3 people running the website, i think they do a good job!

    78. ozzy says:

      this is crap the pof site is down again

    79. liberallover says:
