ASCN is planning to add a bookstore and chat area, that they predict will be up and running by the time this article is in print. In October 1997, they decided to go live on the Internet to allow users to do their own sorting, change their profiles at any time, and easily communicate with other singles every day. The average number of users per day runs between 400 and 600, and on an active day, they have over 24,000 hits at their site. SSCS has a special item called Featured Members which is taken from randomly chosen donating members. They also have an email contest every two weeks where you can win donating member status for a week.
All members are welcome to join for free.
However, donations are encouraged to help support their service. Each non-donating member can view one profile per day and unlimited mini profiles per day. Non-donating members can send one email per day. Donating members can view unlimited profiles and send unlimited emails during their donating membership period. Donating members names are highlighted in a special color to draw attention to them in the lists.
