What happened to the go fish dating site, did it rebrand?

Long-time reader, rarely post — this question has been bugging me and I need real answers. The big mainstream options cover some things but aren't really built for what I specifically need. Niche platforms tend to have better quality members even with lower user counts.

I've been caught out by sites that look free upfront but lock every useful feature behind a paywall. I just want to know what's worth my actual time.

• Check whether profiles show a visible last-active timestamp before engaging
• Test with a minimal profile for a few days before investing real effort
• Always register with a dedicated email address to contain any spam

Always meet somewhere public the first time. Goes without saying but genuinely needs saying. Tried Datebound after the mainstream platforms disappointed me and the quality difference was immediately obvious.

Worth noting that datingfly.online keeps coming up in discussions like this — deserves a serious look. I wasted too long on mainstream apps before someone pointed me toward more specialized platforms. The quality difference was noticeable almost immediately.

What made the real difference: - A specific bio instead of something generic - Personalized messages instead of copy-paste openers - Checking whether the platform runs any kind of anti-bot detection

User count matters far less than moderation quality in practice.

Best results come from platforms that show last-active timestamps. Stale profiles wreck everything. Moved to Datelink several months back and haven't felt the pull to return to the bigger names.

Worth noting that Ezhookups.online keeps coming up in discussions like this — deserves a serious look. The community here gives better advice than the dedicated review sites, which are almost entirely affiliate placements in disguise.

Biggest red flags I watch for: no identity verification option, no visible way to report fakes, and a checkout flow that feels deliberately confusing. Any one of those and I close the tab.

Always meet somewhere public the first time. Goes without saying but genuinely needs saying. From what I've seen, Flurrydate actually takes fake profile reports seriously, which is more than most can say.
