let's discuss Classmates.com
So I get all these e-mails saying that someone looked at my profile and I should upgrade my membership to see who it is. I have been a member in the past and I got back in touch with some people from high school and college and that has been great. A few times in the past, I have gone to see who looked at my profile and once I found out, I was indifferent about it. I just thought it was nice that they took the time to look at my profile, had no problem with them looking, but I was not dying to get in touch. In some cases it was a friend that I am already in touch with. Now I would have to join again to find out who keeps checking me out. I think they have a 3 month package for about $15 so it's not going to break the bank. However, the sales pitches annoy me to no end and I am sure I can use $15 eslewhere.
Have you ever joined or re-joined just to see who was checking you out? Have you ever been a member at all? Have you contacted people through classmates.com?

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I was always curious about who was "looking" too. I guess not curious to pay them though 
I was under the impression that I could only contact people that actually pay for the site also ?? So I figured it wouldn't be worth it to join.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I have classmates gold ( i think that is what it is called). I am one of the classmates that plan the reunions so that is the main reasons I decided to purchase it.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I joined, wound up being stalked by an old classmate, never went on the site again. This guy freaked me out BIG time. Now I just stay away.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I have the gold membership and I've used it to contact former classmates, mostly college classmates, not high school.
It's funny though because I've had people find me on Classmates and then locate and contact me through MySpace.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
Can you really "see" who was simply looking at your profile?
I had one, but got rid of it. I don't recall being able to see who glimpsed at it? Unless they tried to contact you...

That feature has been around for about a year or 2. If you look at someone's profile, it reports that you were there unless you specifically ask it not to.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I got those emails all the time. Curiousity got the best of me so I joined but I didn't join on the first link. I declined and then an offer popped up for like $10 for the year so I did that.

really????? Oh, you mean if you have a paying account? What if you just can view the main page, but don't pay for an account to go into the actual profile? That is why I thought it was odd.
I haven't had a acct for about 5 years. But I do still have a sign on, so that is what I mean. What if you just pop onto their page and see the main page, but can't go into the profile?

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
Glad i just read this, i got one of those emails the other day and wondered who it was. Plus a guy i was friends with in HS called my dads phone on friday. I wasnt home but thought it was odd that he called.

I think it gets reported as soon as you look at a page but I am not sure. I don't think it has anything to do with whether the person looking is a member.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I joined recently because an old friend emailed me through classmates. I wouldn't join to see who looked at my profile.
My take on Classmates.com is my old high school & college should get a messageboard going so I don't have to bother.

You can create a social network for your HS or college peers:

We have one for our HS graduating class.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I was looking on classmates and everyone was raving about their super fabulous lives and my cousin's profile said only one thing, "I am interesting." It was such a funny way to poke fun of the people who go out of their way to make themselves look all glamorous on classmates.

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I looked around once or twice, now I get those same emails all the time.
I don't join though, if the person really wants to reconnect with me, there are a dozen other free ways

Re: let's discuss Classmates.com
I do not have a membership to Classmates.com but recently got in touch with a long lost cousin through it.
What pi$$ed me off was that I sent him an email through them and included my email address (so he wouldn't have to join) but they must have edited it out because he had to join to email me back. They must go through all the emails.
