Any experience with roommates.com or is there a better website for that?

Yes, it isn't about telling other people what to do, it is about behavior that is going to have a negative effect on me.
Drug use often comes with a whole passle of problems and most of the even casual drug users I know have lives that are a mess. So drug use is a no no in my house.
Hearing you bang your S/O every night is just going to make me bitter, jealous, and make me regret the decisions I have made in the past.
Basically in my description I came up with the 3 things that I know from experience would make for a bad roommate for me, and I specifically mentioned them.
Smokers are fine, I myself have struggled with smoking on and off my entire adult life. Drinking is no problem.

Topicwise, no, I have no experience with roommates.com.

Well I went ahead and paid the $20, so I guess I will find out for myself. I just like the idea of being able to prescreen people a bit without having to talk to every yahoo that would call about a newspaper ad. At least on the web I can request a picture and such and I won't have people calling and waking me up all day (I hate the phone anyway).

My collection might be a lot smaller now, but they are all like "OH MY GOD" items.

I've got no problem with tub-sleeping, and few people would if they were gamers and your collection really is mostly "OH MY GOD!" items.
