In their dating persona test (http://www.okcupid.com/the-dating-persona-test) there is the line "If you have any STDs please go HERE." wherein HERE was a link to match.com. It now goes to mingle2.com.

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.

Upvote for "poor taste."
