Interesting. I've been doing online dating off and on for about the last 5 years and have had the least amount of luck on that site. I've had slightly better luck on "Plenty of Fish" and Craigslist personals... but yet I'm still single today.
I think OK Cupid generally has better quality women than Plentyoffish. But they do tend to reply less and be pickier on that site. Especially since they have a match system, like eharmony (so I'm told).

OK Cupid was always popular among my friends as it's free and seems pretty easy to use.
Years ago, I made a troll account on the site just so I could view my friends' profiles, but now I can't figure out how to delete it lol.

As far as platonic relationships go, the internet can be an amazing place if you connect with people best through discussion and [written] conversation. But I think that's obvious to everyone here, since we're hanging out in a forum and all.
I met one of my best friends in the entire world on a Whose Line is it, Anyway? messageboard when we were both fourteen, and we regularly exchanged five-page e-mails and had hours-long phone conversations up through college. When I finally flew out to stay with her for a week as an undergrad (at that point I'd met up with her only once before) I was terrified we'd have Weekend_Warrior's problem -- "no chemistry" -- because even regular friends need to mesh well. All our years of bonding was no guarantee we wouldn't drive each other crazy when stuck together in-person. But it turned out to be this amazing and surreal thing, because we felt so at home in each other's presence that we would literally forget, from time-to-time, that we hadn't grown up in the same neighborhood. To take a moment to remember that we hadn't been hanging out like that every day of our lives felt strange, like it was scenario experienced in a different dimension. I'm not explaining this well, but believe me, it was crazy.
I think romantic relationships can be found and sustained online. I certainly considered myself a serious girlfriend to someone on the internet whom I'd never met in person several years back. But I was also a teenager then; I don't know if I'd feel differently now as an adult. What I can say for sure is that written communication, usually over the internet, was a necessary part of the wooing process with any boyfriend or crush I've had. In many cases I'm not the best phone-talker, but having deep discussions over AIM at 2AM was totally my cup of tea.
