  I personally use to meet so many people from Gumtree in fact I met my previous partners from there, yet Gumtree has now totally lost the appeal it once had.

  I guess it probably has if had previously supplied you with a series of legovers

  I thought Gumtree was for finding houses and housemates. I'm so naive.

  Never heard of it.
  
  Perhaps people have decided to get out and meet real people, in real life. Or perhaps they have wisely decided the dating game is a waste of time, effort and money, and have decided to get a cat instead.

  Yeah the good part about it was I met all the straight/Bi guys that didnt use the Gay only websites, I miss it but had a great response by Ozadz hopefully that site doesn't become to big and taken over by the dreaded Ebay/PayPal Empire

  The Gay/Lesbian section was fine but the Women Seeking Men section was full of spam and escorts, my straight mate got lucky last month and met the girl of his dreams from Ozadz he was well chuffed he cant stop smiling

  Or perhaps they have signed up to Digital Spy and are furiously sending PMs to prospective partners!;)

  That would be a total waste of time you may as well find a decent free classifieds site like Ozadz.com stick a free advert up and wait for the responses via your email account. All these expensive dating sites are a waste of mone, with no guarantee you will get results

  Have you seen a reduction in adverts since they removed the dating section as this was the most popular section on there, you found people looking for sex then they would look for a job or sell something

  I meant in general not just dating. I know there's lots of genuine people and adverts on there but it's also a scamsters paradise.

  Yes it certainly is I find the accomodation section was the worst for this, but every email was written in a certain way and was quite easy to tell it was fake, not sure how some people ended up paying thousands to these Nigerian Fraudsters

  I dont think that is the case you have just removed nearly 4 million dating visitors to the site, can you somehow prove this?

  I did miss it for a week or two then I found www.ozadz.com where the layout is very much like Gumtree and is UK owned and run so I started to use that site now, and is becoming the new Gumtree got alot of replies so far

  To be fair, I think a lot of men using that website actually had somewhat similar intensions...
