The Slave Register blog http://www.slaveregister.com/news/ The IC RSS Gadget webmaster@informedconsent.co.uk 360 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:05:47 GMT Sun, 11 May 2008 23:05:47 GMT http://www.slaveregister.com/news/177268/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/177268/ Sun, 11 May 2008 23:05:47 GMT Last week I split the contents of The Slave Register website between www.slaveregister.com and a new site www.seekdiscipline.com . In short, Seek Discipline! ("SD!") gets the web boards, profiles, pictures and networks, and the certificates and listings stay on The Slave Register ("TSR"). I've done this so the site names better reflect what's on them.... http://www.slaveregister.com/news/176749/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/176749/ Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:40:51 GMT Online registration is now open for the 2008 Master/slave Conference in Washington DC, and for the second year there will be a TSR Meeting during the conference weekend. See the web board thread for more details. http://www.slaveregister.com/news/155196/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/155196/ Sat, 04 Aug 2007 22:50:42 GMT I'm still buzzing from the Master/slave conference and I've got a bunch of things to say about it, but I'm going to try to give an overview in this blog and them come back to individual topics later.... http://www.slaveregister.com/news/150462/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/150462/ Mon, 02 Jul 2007 13:02:59 GMT An informal TSR Meeting will be held for people attending the Master/slave Conference in Washington DC, on the evening of Friday 27 July 2007. The meeting will be at a suite in the conference hotel, from 5pm to 7pm. Please ask the hotel reception for the suite number of the "TSR Meeting".... http://www.slaveregister.com/news/147754/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/147754/ Mon, 11 Jun 2007 23:21:50 GMT We got back from London yesterday and I want to say thank you to everyone who came to the first TSR Meeting, and write a bit about the event for those who couldn't be there.... http://www.slaveregister.com/news/142687/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/142687/ Sun, 06 May 2007 00:06:12 GMT The Master-slave-uk list on Yahoo Groups dates back to early 2000 but it's been on ice for several years now. However, as the number of UK people talking about their Master/slave relationships on TSR grows, I've opened Master-slave-uk up again to new members. http://www.slaveregister.com/news/141310/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/141310/ Thu, 26 Apr 2007 09:49:02 GMT The Slave Register is planning a meeting for people in or seeking ownership relationships, at a venue in central London on Saturday the 9th of June, from 5pm onwards. The format will be informal, probably with a round table discussion on topic(s) advertised in advance and including a buffet. For more details see http://www.slaveregister.com/meetings/london http://www.slaveregister.com/news/134785/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/134785/ Fri, 16 Mar 2007 22:25:15 GMT I've now been able to try out barcode dogtags from two of the sources listed on the SLRN barcode suppliers page. I'm very impressed with the results, in particular that both types are scannable, despite being quite different in appearance to the high-contrast black-on-white barcodes you see in supermarkets and bookshops every day.... http://www.slaveregister.com/news/133671/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/133671/ Fri, 09 Mar 2007 20:07:39 GMT I've now completed a major update to the Ownership and M/s Weblogs listings, which link to recent postings from a couple of dozen blogs. The list is updated four times a day and is now spread over multiple pages so you can go back a month or so to find posts that interest you. http://www.slaveregister.com/news/132413/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/132413/ Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:13:21 GMT Registration for the annual MASTER/slave Conference in Washington, DC has now opened. The conference takes place over the weekend of the 27-29th July 2007, and is the only major convention specific to M/s and 24/7 D/s relationships. The Northeast MASTER/slave Contest also takes place during the weekend of workshops and talks. (The Slave Register is now a Gold Sponsor of this event :) ) http://www.slaveregister.com/news/129674/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/129674/ Mon, 12 Feb 2007 23:38:41 GMT Over the weekend I added a listings section to The Slave Register, with a comprehensive list of suppliers of lockable metal collars, a page linking to other ownership-orientated discussion forums, a list of M/s conferences, and the daily weblogs feed that TSR has had for a while. A lot of this information is available on general BDSM sites like IC, but the items that are most relevant to ownership (like locking collars) are difficult to find in amongst so much else. http://www.slaveregister.com/news/115294/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/115294/ Fri, 17 Nov 2006 18:42:34 GMT As part of an overhaul of TSR's help pages, I've written an account of how the Register came about in 2000, and its subsequent growth: we're now up to 100,000 TSR profiles and 88,000 registration numbers. It's been funny thinking back to the turn of the millennium and the various books, websites and exhibitions that had planted the seeds in the previous few years. If you're interested, then the TSR history page has the full story. http://www.slaveregister.com/news/95742/ http://www.slaveregister.com/news/95742/ Mon, 17 Jul 2006 01:36:09 GMT Today (Sunday) I put a page of ownership icons online on The Slave Register, and added them to the TSR system so people can show them on their web board posts (so far - other places in the system to follow.) I think they might be more generally useful too, since we don't really have symbols for this kind of thing amongst the various flags and signs that BDSM/Leather has acquired....
