Back from the dead

After a very long absence, I finally took the plunge: the lifetime membership. Then, with that shiny (almost) new member smell, I adventured into the TN wild to see who is out there, make some friends and be social. However, not so much a wild, but a desert. Only 192 profiles within 100 miles active in past month. Only 128 with photos. Only 58 certified. So... sent out messages/friend requests. Maybe 10 accepted, and three actually replied. Makes me wonder. Does anyone actually use this for communication? ...or just a way to exchange naked photos?
