16 Jun 05   IC being offline today

IC has had it's longest downtime for a couple of years today but it is back online now - as you can see! [more...]
15 Jun 05   LateXtra and Midlands Fetish Scene magazines

I got the recent copies of LateXtra and the new Midlands Fetish Scene last week - two free magazines with BDSM / Fetish news and articles. [more...]

For the first time, the weblogs and web boards on IC passed the 1000 posts-a-day mark yesterday, up from about 150 when IC.2 went live on 18 January. [more...]
13 Dec 04   Kinkfest and London

What a success! 500 people came to the workshops, stalls and stage performances at the Conway Hall on Saturday. Most of the meeting rooms were full with people having to be turned away (and we were using just about all of the rooms Conway Hall has.) The cowardly threats to disrupt the event didn't materialise. Everyone there seemed good humoured and positive about the subject matter, and it really felt like people coming together, and leaving the petty politics and empire-building at the door. [more...]
6 Dec 04   The Gas Man Cometh

BDSM venue in central Manchester that we also went to see. [more...]
12 Jun 04   Club Lash returns

Club Lash returned to central Manchester last night after last years venue problems at the Green Room. They've moved to the 2nd Friday (rather than Saturday as before) and to a smaller venue, but after last night's event, lili and I have no complaints at all. [more...]
21 May 04   Old Guard and Ancient European Houses

Recently, there seems to have been a sudden outbreak of discussion about modern day members of the "Old Guard" or earnest claims about Ancient European Houses of D/s. Under closer inspection, the claimants retreat into quite innocuous statements, but it still makes you ask why the extreme claims in the first place, even if they're not defended when challenged?
