In your experience of OLD:
Which service is the best?
How much do you pay?
WHich service offers the most variety?
How long have you been with this service?
What has been your worst/best experience while on that service?

I'm not actively OLD at the moment, but here's my prior experience.
I have used Yahoo Personals, BlackPeopleMeet and BBW. My favorite is Yahoo Personals although I may check out BlackMatch (a new site - $9.99/mth).
I never paid for Yahoo, signed up for a 7 day trial and then called to cancel and they extended me for 30 days. Never paid for BBW (IMO too expensive) and used BPM for about 3 mos. sporadically (9.99 for each month).
I've met most men from Yahoo Personals and BPM and met one (the police officer) from BBW. Had plenty of contacts (or views) from all sites.
All services (the features I use) are about the same -- mainly searching with specific criteria and locations.
Worst/best experience -- Haven't really had any with the sites. Yahoo did reject some photos, but I never called them to ask why! Seems others have had that happen as well.
If you are just starting out, I would suggest Yahoo Personals, since they will offer you a free trial and remember to CALL instead of canceling online, cause they may extend you for another 30 days.
