The founder of the site was British, current registered owner is (if I remember correctly is) a Serbian, the domain is from Montenegro. The only thing I don't know for sure is where the server is located. Other than that I am unsure of what makes this site "American".

The IP geolocation database says the server is in Netherlands.
But since the site is in English and does not have a TLD belonging to English speaking countries other than the US, Americans assume it's American :)

I didn't. Back in 2004 when I first joined, I thought it was from United Kingdom.
AceHigh:
Well, Box never made it a secret that he was British, so back then it was common knowledge I think.

While I never had the chance to talk to Box, since I joined not long before the site moved to the BBT domain, I believe you are correct on Jaru being Serbian, after following updates on the BBT meetup a few months back. I'll take your word for Box being British.
I think you misunderstand what I said there (granted, it's somewhat ambiguous). I simply assume that about 50% of the users of any site are American, whether or not the site itself is based in America. I don't associate a site with America otherwise, unless I know it's based in America.
v Actually, that sounds more correct for Duki. Slightly iffy on Jaru though. Eh, whatever.
AceHigh:
Jaru is Dutch, Duki is Serbian (again if I remember correctly). Oh well, I don't go for the user count, but ownership when it comes to sites. Just different point of view I guess.

how do you sue a mega-corporation without getting shushed by money or getting silenced by a hired goon >,> that is if they're shady enough to go off-court.
anyway, all we can do is wait... hopefully its not as devastating as what we're thinking.
