A website set up by Chinese mistresses recently to share their experiences has vanished from the internet following complaints from wives, whose husbands are hooked on to the "other woman", the official media reported on Saturday.
Anyone logging onto www.xeixe.com is now greeted by a site selling women's clothing and all information covering topics of interest to mistresses has been deleted, Shanghai Daily, which first revealed its identity, reported on Saturday.
Several women who had paid 100 yuan (Rs 700) to access the website's forums just a few days before the site vanished complained to the daily.
The website had some 1,500 paying members when it shut down. Some questioned whether the site was just a commercial exercise using them as tools for the owners to make money.
The disappearance of the website also cast doubts over its All-China Mistress Right Protection Alliance, a group
which said it was trying to shed mistresses's scandalous image and gain them "social and legal status".
The leader of the alliance and the owner of the website, Sister Three, said in her blog yesterday that the site had to be shut down, against her will, for reasons she did not specify.
Mistresses who were members of the site believed the shutdown was connected with the online festival which ended in angry exchanges between them and cheated wives on Thursday, the daily said.
The website had attracted a lot of public attention, mostly negative. Celebrity TV judge Bai Wanqing even called
police to urge that the website be shut.
"I feel like I've been cheated by the whole campaign and its owner. We gained nothing from it and now everyone is treating us like a joke," said one mistress nicknamed "Sugar".
Sister Three in the meantime asked mistresses to follow her microblog for some "surprises" to come.
