Why...

Member's corner and not Members' corner ?
CCM is a community of members !
Member's corner means in French : le coin/café du membre ! This place is not an individual place ! It is to share opinions and not to live alone !
It would be better if this place is called : Members' corner : le café des membres !
It's just a suggestion !
And it is only mine!

But sometimes in french we avoid the use of plural to represent a general meaning.
The Member's corner would mean in french "Le coin du membre" which could be understanded as general...
You see?

So in that case, it's not a possessive case but a simple noun complement ! So : Member corner !
