Reason #1 You Can't Find A Username On POF

So you are trying to create an account for Plenty Of Fish dating website and no matter what username you try (even asfiwer30w2r54sdf) you get the message This Username is Already Taken?

After about 12 tries it gets pretty damned frustrating. There are two possible reasons you can't find a username on POF and here is what to do.

You are just not getting creative enough. I know this seems unlikely as you would not be on this page unless you felt you have exhausted every possible option for trying usernames, but try this idea:

2. Followed by four random numbers.
3. You last name (or part of your last name, for privacy reasons).
4. Followed by four random numbers.

If this does not work then you should look to reason #2 you can't find an accepted username on POF.

Reason #2 You Can't Find A Username On POF

Did you account get deleted on Plenty Of Fish? What is probably happening is you have been blacklisted on POF, meaning that the website recognizes your IP address/browser/cookies and is simply not letting you create an account.

The way to get around this:

• Create a new account on POF using a totally different browser that was not used for your prior account.

OR

• Totally clear your current browsers history.

If this STILL doesn't work then, in addition to the the above step(s) ...
