Besides, if you read Mod11's signature, I think it's the Galactic Overlords who own CM.

Oh, holy Overlords, may we worship you?

Ah, how I yearn for the good ol' days of my galactic overlordship.  It wasn't on collarme.  It was just general evil overlording of a coffee house.


Oooooooooo General Evil Overlording...that's the best kind!!

Is it an individual? 
A specific BDSM group?  
A bunch of like-minded people scattered from east to west who thought it would be a good idea? 

I got curious about 'the man behind the curtain', so to speak, and I haven't seen any references to ownership...only that it's based in the USA.


I suspect that it's an individual{s} There is no way to know for sure, because the owners identity is kept secret through a front company that specializes in proxy administration/domain registration. It's my bet that many sites like this operate in a similar manner. Whether it's a calculated ploy to reduce litigation exposure, negative press/fanfare or just basically remain anonymous, I'm not sure.

Status: offline 		I have an idea that the owner is either John Norman or the Anti Christ. Or is John Norman the Anti Christ? Either way, I have no problem with it. Just like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know. Maybe one day when eating in a local breakfast joint, I'll look out the corner of my eye and see the following conversation:

Person one: I've been the owner for the last two times. It's your turn to be the owner.

Person Two: Why should I be the owner? I was the owner before you. I've been a mod, an owner, but never a profile approver. Why can't he be the owner this time, you be a mod, and I'll be the profile approver?

Person Three: Why should I be the owner. I've never been the owner. I wouldn't know what to do.

Person One: Don't worry, we didn't know what we were doing either when we became the owner. So this is how it will work. You'll be the owner, I'll go back to being a mod, and this guy can finnally be a profile approver so his prifile can finally get a approved.


When I turn my head to get a full view of the three talking, they will disapear within a blink of an eye. It could happen.

It makes sense.  I guess I'll never really know then. 

I'm honestly glad people are having fun with this thread.  After starting it in all sincerety, I was a little disheartened to see it hijacked so far into left feild,  but c'est la vive.  It's good to see people enjoying themselves.

Nothing left to do but watch and see if that John Norman thing starts a good ole flame war or not.

I doubt that litigation is their concern.  A subpoena would compel the hosting company to divulge the domain owner's contact info should anyone initiate any litigation. 

Spammers and con men have combed domain registrars' databases for targets since the bad old days when Internic was the only registrar in town.  Using a proxy hosting company hides the domain owner's personal info to make that impossible.  It also keeps the nutburgers from stalking and harassing site owners.  I can only imagine how much crap the owners here would get if their contact info was available to the unwashed masses.

I hear if 4 out of 5 voices recommend you put a foil cap on your head you have to comply...Watch out, because the next thing that happens is they start recommending things like Colgate toothpaste, or Advil pain reliever...

Valeca :  You're welcome.

Stef :  I agree with you regards their probable reasoning. And I would operate in a similar manner if I owned the site. But I can promise you, anytime you can frustrate a potential litigant you lessen your exposure.

It will come up with private registration.

CM is owned by an alien force contemplating an invasion of this planet, after which they will put us all in charge to make it a BDSM-ruled world, similar to their own.

I'll take Manhattan.

lol ohhh I love that idea I hope its true grins...but I'm sad to say I do noth thinkYou cannot take Manhattan I think the muppets did that in the 80's if I'm not mistaken...*chuckles*

Isn't the mystery of "who owns collarme" an added attraction to the site though?
