In an August interview, Markus Frind stated that based on the millions of relationships and marriages PlentyOfFish has created over the past several years, it is estimated that over one million babies have been born as a result of the website. On May 20, , Frind implemented several changes to the website with the stated goal of focusing on "meaningful relationships". Among these changes were the removal of the "intimate encounters" option. Although the PlentyOfFish site and its "matching" criteria continue to match couples with age differences greater than the 14 year guideline, attempts to contact these "matches" resulted in an inbox message from Markus stating, among other things, "[t]here is no reason for a 50 year old man to contact a 18 year old woman. The image sending restriction was apparently reversed after PlentyOfFish was acquired by Match Group but not "quick messages" directly from the match's profile page and members outside of the 14 year age limit no longer appear as matches or in searches.

Attempting to contact members outside of the 14 year limit now displays a pages stating the user does not meet the member's contact criteria even when untrue and suggests several matches to contact instead of sending a message to the user's inbox. The site relied on volunteers to monitor forums and sort through the 50, new photos that come in each day. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. POF Type. Business Vancouver.
