That link actually rotates randomly between their major competitors. In a few reloads, I got Plenty of Fish, True, eHarmony, and Mingle2. It's likely that they've pulled Match from that rotation, though.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing that line disappear altogether, as it always struck me as being in somewhat poor taste.

Thanks, prior to today I had only been to that page once so I hadn't noticed the randomization.

OkCupid was always one big inside joke. That line is just part of it

And it may rotate now, but it didn't used to, years ago. I distinctly remember it saying Match.com and nothing else.
