    What was the catastrophic cause of our recent lights out episode? Lovely to have you back I must say.

    MW should really answer this, but a fair guess was a mixture of lack of payment for the monthly fees together with some loss of interest Cm from the mamagement side.

    Thanks for the reply. I was thinking along the same lines. A shame because it is a first class site. Even ignoring the subject matter, it is still a very well laid out site in every respect and far surpasses many other larger sites. Very user friendly and some lovely friendly people on here. Maybe a small subscription would be in order. I would pay without hesitation in a formal way at a fixed price if it stopped any potential problems arising again.

    I know there is a donation scheme at the moment, but human nature being what it is, I suspect only a small percentage of members contribute. It would seem right and proper if the owner made some profit from this in my view. Any service provided by volunteers or as good as, runs the risk of collapse.

    I would suggest that a subscription method (like most other sites) would be the way forward. That is just my humble opinion.

    This site is too good, has too much potential for revenue and is too cherished to die a slow and inconvenient death. X

    Mistress Watchful who owns the site had an accident.
    From what I have heard She ended up in hospital with a broken elbow.
    She had black eyes so there was facial and possibly head injuries.

    Gosh, really sorry to hear that. I hope she is expected to make a full recovery. I will say a prayer for her tonight. X

    Is the site still up for sale?

    From Mistress Watchful on Fetlife:
    "Currently the Mansion costs around £10 per year for the domain and approx £55 per month for the server.
    Message Mistress Watchful if interested."

    Yes. Some have shown interest so far, including BlueEyes.

    Please don't panic there is a group of us who have plans in place to ensure CM will live on in a much more secure and hopefully nice and happy environment, for the benefit if all members.

    I fully agree with Wendy...

    Come on everyone - please. It is still way to easy to be have motives twisted and turned in here.
    I did not blame MW for lost of interest,. It was an objective summery of her own statements, and really I think she is doing great and being very considerate preserving the mansion by putting it up for sale, now she has decided to move on in with other good things in life. Don't hunt for wrongdoings, please...


    And for those of You in this thread that apparently have not read about all that is going on related to MW's desire to parse CM on I will take the liberty to copy my post from another thread. Shame on me, - but hopefully it will answer some questions more delicately than my initial short objective observation.

    Here we go:

    Well I think it is about time to let the ones - and that is more than a few - know that I in fact are bidding for the mansion, supported by a group of mods and some of the most wellknow and respected longterm members of CM.

    In fact we even started the process of rebuilding CM, in case it would not reemerge. Again I was supported by current mods and respected members. Most of You are familiar with Misstress B, Philfred(Lucy), Wendygirl(Holly), Maid Carrie and Mistress Jules herself. They all supported my project of relaunching a new ChastityMansion in case this one would not come back to life... Many more tipped in , and showed their support and gratitude...

    The new Chastitymansion was to be lead by a board of 4 respected members and myself, and that would be the end of a one-ruler system. The board was to pick and approve the mods, they were to define and enforce policies, - if any was needed, and they were to ensure the further development of the new CM, - but always within the wellknown and very innocent environment we all have come too love. No adds, limited soliciting, and lots of helpful people, willing to share and comment on a wide range of Chastity related issues. A lifesaver for many newcomers.

    Still , as I told the team - I had a special interest in improving facilities for newcomers, to get more structured information and advice, - a knowledge base for new members. I have seen in the 2 and a half year I have been her, that many ( including myself) are filled with uncertainty and questions in the beginning, lots about what to expect physically and mentally in you and in your partner... etc... But of course also info on which device to start our with etc...
    Others in the team have other preferences and focuses, - so They should pursue these topics, in the further development of CM. But Basically everything would remain the same as we have come to know and treasure the current CM.

    Well, CM did not sink , and by that all the treasured legacy of the mansion is preserved - still... Hurray!!


    I have made it very clear that I have no intention of starting a rival site.

    I may take back those words if CM is to be sold to an outsider with no love for the forum, but only sees it as a potential profit generator. If ads are to come in, and management are neglecting its obligation to listen and learn from the members of the forum, - the very members who by there commitment and interactions make the forum come to life - then I might do it after all. And I am cetain that at least some of the team will join my in that quest.-)

    So - now I am in the bidding, backed by the same team that was ready to support a new CM , if... ( to be fair Mistress Jules has not expressed support for my attempt to buy CM from MW, - but she has not spoken against it either) Other respected members have offered their support to me...after It became publicly know on FetLife, that I was indeed bidding.
    I have no intention of becoming the king of the castle. I will hand over powers to s board , who will be told that internal fights are over, and are to be battled and overcome swiftly. No bad blood on CM anymore. No tribal fights, no bending mod rules, etc. etc...

    So Now You all know, - I am willing to pay a fair prize for software, database, and also some for acknowledgement of MWs work for CM, - but since CM is not providing any profit, the price can not be too high.....

    My lovely wife is very supportive in this, but she is not to take part in this. She will however like to stay on CM:)


    Please comment! Everyone.-)

    Hope it all goes to plan Blue eyes the site needs fresh blood and input although nothing that would change it totally from the excellent site we all originally signed up for. Best of luck with your ideas.

    Good for you Wendy....!!! I have just checked what you wrote to make sure that it is beyond reproach so that other members don't misconstrue what you've said when you are only trying to help...!!

    OMG!

    What black eyes and head injuries?

    LMAO :p:D:rolleyes:

    I fell off a ladder, shattered my wrist in 30 pieces and have two metal plates.

    My elbow dislocated (open wound, saw the bones and everything....gory).

    That has nothing to do with the site going down.

    In the excitement of my new life and ventures I forgot to pay the bill!

    Well at least everything will be very neat and tidy all nicely ironed and put away in its right drawer .

    Would make a fun read and nothing searchable by bots if jemima did all the spelling corectioonz.
