There are lots of members. They have over 1,000,000 members with more than 18,000 new people joining each week. We liked that you can join the website for free although the free membership is limited in the number of profiles you can view within a 24-hour period. There is a paid premium membership available which do not have the same restrictions.
Guests may enter the site and browse the listings, but in order to post a listing and use the many features available on the site, you must become a member.
To be able to view profiles you have to register and the registration is very long. Also it's hard to decide if you WANT to register if you can't view the profiles.
Alt.com does have a large user base, however they greatly inflate the numbers. When I do a search, it may return 50 results, but after a page or two, the listings start to repeat, and many of them have not actively been on the site for months or years.
They are also Nazi's about posting anything on the site with a link, or about giving out your email, chat ID, or phone number. They scan emails and if you give out any of the above before the 3rd email, they will suspend your account.
Trying to reach tech support is next to impossible. Even with a paid account, it takes several tries to even get past the busy signal, then another 3 minutes of ringing before the phone picks up, then at least another 20 minutes on hold. Their call volume always seems to be "abnormally high." I tried explaining to the support rep (who barely spoke english) that abnormal means "not normal" but to no avail.
In short, there are a lot of people there, but a lot of it is fluff, it's still difficult to actually make a connection. I recomend using something like collarme, my results have been about the same, but it's free in both senses of the word.
I've used a lot of services to find subs, and ALT.com is in a different league. This is the one and only scene for me!
