^^^ Same here! Although it was easily found with the google search OKcupid forums.
Reading a super-long thread about an angry lass who had drunken sex then got mad about it afterward.

Does OkC have any other secret goodies in its back rooms?? Like maybe a "here's our dataset to play with!" page or something?

They do an analysis of their site from time to time. Although I don't think they understand the stats themselves some of the time.

I love OkTrends, it's hilarious. They do actually have a (tiny) link to that on the bottom of the homepage. I want to get my hands on the stats myself and make up my own stupid but highly entertaining graphs.
One I found interesting was I think they said guys lie about their height more than girls or something. They showed that the average male on OkC was a few centimetres taller than the actual average male. I disagree that they are lying - I think very tall guys are more likely to be the nerdy types, who are more likely to be on the site. I mean, a lot of the tall guys actual put "my height" as the first thing people notice about them.

I'm lucky I escaped with my skin!

They had an interesting blog on differences of attractiveness between males and females. It seemed that males would actually use 1-5 and all values would mean something different. However, females were rating those that would have been expected to be a 3 even lower. Some of the comments sounded as if a rating of 1-3 had the same level of attractiveness anyways and that's why the males were rated lower (it didn't matter if you were a 1 or a 3, she wasn't interested.)

One post I read described it best. OKC has become 4chan with photos.
