A database of cheaters is potentially the most frightening list for a man to find himself on, outside of potential jurors and Becky Jones' "Not Hot" list from sixth Grade (I still remember,
and it hurts.)

So we're pretty freaked out by Cheater Registry, a new website that is making it possible for men and women to upload names of cheaters, sordid details of relationships gone wrong and even photographic proof.

Since starting a little over a month ago, the site has seen more than 10,000 sign-ups and 100 non-celebrity postings.

The creators of the site (a group of friends who came up with the idea at a round-table meeting) acknowledge that there is a great amount of responsibility that comes with such sensitive information. That's why all proof is vetted before posts to go live. But what constitutes proof?

"It could be video, text, the last three digits of their phone number or photographic evidence," one of the site's creators, Victoria, tells us. But, perhaps unfortunately, they do censor the proof. Apparently, there have been instances where images have been so graphic, interns have literally vomited. "Think 'Two Girls, One Cup.'"

We'd rather not. Asylum attempted to reach out to several of the culprits listed on the site, but they were (unsurprisingly) hesitant to respond.

We did speak briefly with a couple of the posters, who requested anonymity. Neither of them lacked shame when it came to exposing cheaters, but both seemed reluctant to sacrifice their own privacy. Are their postings just an outlet for frustrated feelings?

"The site is definitely not about vindication," Victoria urges. "There was a day when a story ran about the site, and we got 22,000 hits. It was a Friday, and we got 33 posts that weren't cheaters. There was no proof. We had to take the posts down and email each of the posters."

Still, some of the posters responded with lengthy, descriptive justifications of the cheater's authenticity. One woman sent an email that was semi-suicidal, prompting the staffers to telephone her. Her partner had been seeing someone for over six years, on and off, when finally he told her that he had no interest in marrying her.

Thankfully, the good people at Cheater Registry talked her off the ledge. "If nothing else happens, that would make this all worth it," Victoria told us.


That sounds like enough of a reason to join the site to us. Well, that, and putting out the APB on that college girlfriend who slept with your lab partner.
