Its likely you'll get a skewed answer, because the people who typically find someone they like online and want to date are the people who are generally less out going and less likely to talk about there personal life.
Or, know that they want to say they tried it and it failed and they got hurt...but don't want the inevitable ignorant forum troll to say "It wasn't in person it didn't mean anything anyways"
However Andy doesn't care what people think about him.
I "dated" a girl for about 3 years when i was 15-18, it ended with me having to spend 2 nights on the street and finding out that she'd been with another guy "IRL".

oooh, you mean dating online? i thought it was using dating websites.
i don't know anyone who's dated online but i know alot of people who have found dates on-line but would never publicly say it so andy's right in that regard

My friend at work used a dating site and was married a year later... they are very happy and a perfect match as the sites find people in 'sync' with you.
Dating online is harder... I recommend using Skype, cellphones and webcams often and have a very good sense of trust. And don't do it unless it is a stepping stone to meeting IRL.

I've done both ways, nothing real terrible has ever come of it, but I'm lucky like that. Well, it did get me from being in Vermont with a good cooking gig with great bennies at the hospital, to Arkansas where I have a bad produce job with minimal bennies...but I'm happier now so, pbbbttt. Love happens.
I have tried it, and it wasn't really a positive or negative experience....
There are so many people on these sites that are deceitful with their self descriptions that it makes it a waste of time for a serious dater. Almost everyone thinks they are "fun, easy-going, laid-back, etc etc"..... People basically write on those pages whatever they think you want to hear. Many times, they often post pictures of themselves from 5-10 years ago when they were thinner and skinnier.
Basically, I've gotten quite a few dates from on-line sites, but I always felt like I was robbed of my time.

I've had mixed experiences. i've met some great people, and some real weirdos. Also, theres like a ton more men than women on these sites, so men will struggle, while women have their pick of who they want.
never tried it nor would i want too just seems like too many unkowns. i like the person to person interaction but thats just me
