[edit] ClassMates.com Ads

Is there any significance to the man and woman who show up most often in the Classmates.com banner ads? I'm specifically referring to the ads captioned "She married him?!" (some versions add, "They had 7 kids?") It seems that either those two people are incredibly famous or they're the two most abused, random people on the internet.

I was thinking the same exact thing! Here's an interesting link you might enjoy. --Mentaka 23:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Most of the folks in the ads were employees. The Seattle Times recently ran an article about the "She married him?!" pair. Meonkeys 07:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relevance to MyPoints.com page

Why does clicking on the wikipedia page for MyPoints.com bring me to the classmates.com page? They're unrelated! Maggie 23:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Because someone created a redirect. Here's a comment from the MyPoints.com talk page:

We need an article here. In the meantime, I redirect to classmates.com, cuz they seem to be quite partnered, if not owned by the same entity. Mathiastck 20:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I would suggest that you leave a message on Mathiastck's talk page or contact an Admin. I've never tried to undo a redirect so I'm not sure how it works. Good luck. MoodyGroove 02:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

I agree. Just because they're both owned by the same company doesn't mean they're anything close to the same thing. It would be like if the Juno.com page redirected here; it makes no sense. If anything, and if it has to be redirected anywhere, it should probably be to the United Online page until it has its own. Tnalicea 03:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classmates On Television

In 2003, Classmates.com entered into a production partnership with Fox/20th Television to create a reality show based in part on reunions fostered via the Classmates.com website. The show, a daily half hour syndicated property called "Classmates TV" aired on Fox's owned and operated stations throughout the United States. Classmates TV was cancelled after ninety-five episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottbaillie (talk • contribs) 06:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
