Experience with Classmates.com

[Kazza]

Anyone is enrolled in that website? I found most of my schools and made a profile; the only thing is that with the 'free' service you don't get to read the guestbook entries.
I also have a question about that! What about if I get subscribed and the entries in the book turn out to be just 'bots' from the network welcoming and so forth and not real classmates? I find it strange because I left an email addy for contact and no one has used it but there are 7 entries in the book ( for every network I belong I suppose).
Any feedback is appreciated.

Yes, I am a member on (Classmates), and I have access to quite a bit of features because I have paid for a one year membership. It's a great place to find old school classmates, etc...if I could be of anymore help to you, please let me know.

You'll notice when you go to yours or someone else's profile, it checks off a box that you've visited that person's profile (you can uncheck it too so they don't get notified that someone visited the profile or signed their guestbook). All members have that available. You sign up if you want to see who exactly has visited or signed the book. They're changing it now so that you can upload photos for free too (which definitely brings you a lot more hits). Since I've done that and updated my profile, I'm thinking of going for the cheap, $15 for 3 months gold membership just to see. That way, I can look up the people I'm interested in, get their contact info and let the gold membership expire. I wouldn't be surprised if they lower the prices or end up being free in a while since there's so much competition out there with Facebook and MySpace now.

I'm listed in several communities - my schools and work places in the past. I do like the improvements they've been making. Just would be nice if it were free since they have so much advertising on the site anyway.
