Immediately when I had registererd athttp://www.hi5.comI was asked for my password to my e-mail-addressand I find that very suspect. /G.Eriksson—Precedingunsigned comment added by81.224.114.36 (talk)01:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
-This is also the case with Facebook, and I'm sure other popular networking sites...They ask for your password to gain access to your friends' email addresses to invite them to the site.—Precedingunsigned comment added by131.202.200.84 (talk)06:41, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi5 has a reputation for being full of old pedos wanting to groom kids for sex. I read in the newspaper that a ten year old girl was anally raped by a middle-aged man she met on the website. I think that the page should include this.—Precedingunsigned comment added by77.234.159.97 (talk)11:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you have a reference to such a newspaper report it is of no value in an EncylopediaMarcus A V Green (talk)09:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I wanted to discuss this sentence:
"Hi5 seems to be mainly used by people to meet romantic partners from the same or different countries."
It seems like a POV. No reference or citation. I am for removing it, but I am new here, so I don't want to rush in. --Bundu16:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the following paragraph since it's potentially libelous:
This is true!!!! Hi5 sends invites to email contacts list in a sneaky way!!!! I wish there was a way to blacklist Hi5.—Precedingunsigned comment added by119.95.156.66 (talk)06:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The citation (a Google search,[1]), is definitely not enough to support this claim.Feel free to re-add (parts of) it, put please only do so if you can cite a reliable source.—Precedingunsigned comment added byDdxc (talk •contribs) 00:45, 6 November 2007
No, this is my personal experience. I have emails records to prove it. so, I am going to put this section back.—Precedingunsigned comment added byLtbriar (talk •contribs)18:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I have also notice this problem with a friend of mine, it is a fact, not a suspicious... In french speaking:
VICTIM voudrait être ton ami(e) sur hi5 !
J'ai créé un profil hi5 et je voudrais t'ajouter à ma liste d'amis pour qu'on puisse s'échanger des images et construire notre réseau. Mais tu dois d'abord rejoindre hi5 ! Une fois que tu l'auras fait, tu pourras créer ton profil, partager des photos et rechercher des amis.
Merci,
VICTIM
Rejoins hi5 !»
Meilleurs amis de VICTIM...

I just received this email from my brother:
To:
GonzaloFrom:
Miguel ChumillasI'd like to add you as a friend of mine on hi5. Click the button below to find out more.
But my brother didn't send to me that email! I suspect also that this site is making a dishonest use of Wikipedia, because someone removed the section "See also" from the article, which makes reference to other social network websites and I think this information is relevant.
Sorry for my English,

References
i see that this article needs citations for the countries of Guyana and the Bahamas. I read an article not too long ago from a Bahamanian website talking about how hi5 is most prefered there. ill see if i can find it and add it in :)Taint3dmem0riez6 (talk)15:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed this statement:
"By 7th May 2008 the site is down. By 9th May 2008 the site is online."
For one thing, it's not good English; but more important is that it's simply of no consequence. The hi5 site did indeed have a DNS problem in early May but it has since been corrected -- besides which, it's not known whether it was the site itself or key DNS servers on the internet which were the problem. In any event, it's absurd to log every technical glitch of a web site as part of its Wikipedia entry.Jeff Mincey (talk)21:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone might want to clarify why this article is marked as advertisement because as I read it it didn't look too different from pages for Facebook, Myspace, etc.76.200.119.77 (talk)15:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Citing other pages that fail to meet requirements for an encyclopedia page is not an answer. I would have cited the page as blatent spam put it up for immediate deletion.--Revatim (talk)17:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly reads like a spamvert to me.84.75.143.61 (talk)17:10, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The "marketshare" section contains a logical mistake. It says that "hi5 is the #1 social network in over 25 nations across Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa." and that "the site is virtually unheard of in Europe". Only one of the two can be true (or neither of them, I don't know). --JB12:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In Colombia, Facebook is the first social networking, and this is due to the mobilisation against FARC, via Facebook. More than 2 millions colombian are in Facebook, and the site is now the third most visited in Colombia, before Hi5, which is the 6th.Kormin (talk)11:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tunisia, Cyprus, Koweit, Trinidad and Tobago are all under Facebook rule now.Kormin (talk)21:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
After asking for Gmail login and password, this siteautomatically sends invitations to all contacts without asking for confirmation; my mother experienced this. Someone should investigate into numerous cases of this kind and write up a section.Michael Grinberg (talk)15:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello:
I included three other social networking services in the article and they were removed due to being 'random'. These services were not random as Hi5 has embarked on partnerships in different ways with all three. Hi5 is mentioned in the other articles as well.
Thank you!A. Ward (talk)23:20, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The launch date is listed in 2 places as 2014, but this can't be right.173.106.70.217 (talk)19:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's pretty certain not to be right now. 1914? Really? Did they use telegraph messages? ;-)Sciamachy (talk) — Precedingundated comment added11:33, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
