you know, when i first found the Rave, i didn't know what to expect...but what i found was a place where i wouldn't be ridiculed, teased, or tormented for being and acting different...This place has become like a second family to me... i've found somewhere that i can be myself and not have to worry about what other people think...thanx everyone! *hugs and kisses*
dont worry baby doll, we're all here for eachother... thats why i think all of us, if not the majority of the ones who post here are so addicted to the Rave.
*huggies*
thank you for your post, it is most meaningful and sincere.
ps: if anyone must be thanked it is Cancer, for creating such a place. It has brought many people from everywhere around the world together, something rare and beautiful indeed.
you're right, darkness...i have yet to see some place where so many people from so many different places and backrounds come together and get along...something rare indeed...
i can have a bit of a temper so if get on ya about anything too much jus' lemme know.
i love it when people are themselves, it is those posers that i hate
Look upon H.I.M with 69 Eyes and peace.
i feel more and more of myself emerging again like it here
Such a sweet thought this and I rather remember it this way.
Where or when did it change?
It's nice to have threads like this which makes us remmeber what a luck it is to have Vampirerave :)
I feel at home here too, everyone is so awesome and caring thanks to all *hugs*
:-) no one's called me an idiot yet, which I'm not..
or goofy, which I am
or odd, which I think I might be the definition of ..
so if ya'll put up with me , I'll consider you family...
yeah ... i love this site because you can do whatever , post/rate whatever and no one will yell at you or call you names for it... mucho props!
this is a wonderful place- Unlike my school day, I am firmly respected across the board here, which is quite a contrast compared to what I have been subjected to in the past................... you all are great.
Now please remember this as we post other threads.
We may disagree but we arent going for each others throats.
VR is home....
Atleast for some of us.
My second home. In a close family people may disagree, even get mad at each other, but isen't that what happens in real families? The good thing, is that one can always come to an understanding.Other than that, i have no other thing to say about this web site that's less then good.
Yes, I'm always agree to go here too, and it's so nice to know other funny and strange peoples like us. Maybe a familiy, but sure a great place !
KISS TO YOU ALL !!! "smacks"
VR is a fun place and an escape from reality, but you do have to deal with living in the real world ...Life is not a movie, or comic, or what you role play in your head or pc....These things are only a means to escape reality to deal with stress....So have fun, but BE REAL.
*huggs & kisses back* I absolutly agree with you. This site and mostly all the ppl in it have been wonderful and I've met some great ppl that I've become really close too. I think of us as a family with the ups & downs with it lol. I feel like I can completely be myself, open, honest, and share my life with the great ppl I've met here.
major thank you to the prince Cancer. I hope you keep this wonderful thing going for many years to come. All of us that call this place home are truely thankful to have found this site.
LOL try #vampires sometime....
Where alot of the older members of the family came from and still reside a lot of the time.
It's the same for me,but since in every community there are different people still I met some troubles but on the whole it's marvellious!!!!
It seems you have a total downer on this site at the moment mslefaye, and thats a shame, as a lot of people are very happy here.
At the moment, I am being totally ridiculed for being a vegetarian, btu I guess you just have to ignore the people who want to treat you that way, and listen to those you are friends with.
yeah, this is a wonderful place created by a wonderful person for wonderful people and wonderful things to do :)
I honestly don't know what I would do without this place... I've been feeling a lot better since they day I became a member!
I have to agree, this place is awesome. It's so much better than all the other vamp community sites out there.
I too enjoy the company and companionship found in VR.
Always be yourself no matter what the twats around you may think or say to you!
yeah, Cancer is the one to thank for all this. He's the wonderful master behind all this.
I love this place, I've met so many people here. So many people who have now become close friends. Found love on here, and hate. But its give and take. Thanks Cancer for my second home.
I feel the same way. i feel like i would do anything for some of the friends ive met here
i know whatcha mean it is nice too have somewhere too go and be around people who are open minded
Well being yourself is the best way to be why pretend to be something you are not I feel it is best to be who you were made to be
how sweet, all in the family. we love our brothers and sisters.
Ummm saint...
That is sounding a little too southern the way you say it.
I have to say that in the very short time I've been here, that I have been made feel more welcome than the sheep at the wolves' convention.
And I wish to express my thanks to the Prince as well..
*Laughing*
This thread has me singing a damn song all day by Mr. Bungle
(Stubb a Dub)
Do you remember
We called you family
Now, you're underground
We call you memory
a family is what it does not who is in it.. a family accepts each other but at the same time wants better for all of it's members. a family loves you for who you are but loves you too much too see you stay in one spot forever as if you are not growing you are dying and we want to see live happier and more lively every day. a family will fight and argue but none of that is more important than the love and respect it shares
It is a community...a place where kindred spirits meet and exchange feelings, ideas and energies.
I love this haven...it is like a family
I havent been apart of this site for long but i have felt nothing but good things from everyone here... I want to thank everyone on here that has welcomed me!!!!!!!!!! I luv all yall!
I don't know how I can call VR but I know one thing...it's highly addictive!
i agree:) there`s nothing better than being yourself!!
To bad the world cant be so understanding instead they think of us as side shows for the to gwoke at as we walk down the street they dont think we want respect and just to be left alone but o well society will fall because if it narrow mindedness wont it now
I think it is wonderful to have a place like this. The internet is a great and powerful thing, it links people, from all over ,together through a common intrest ; and alows us to see we are not alone, that it is only physical location that seperates us. It gives our spirits a chance to be uncloisered and expressive.
YEA! a lot.
I do love it here. Here I found people who understand me...people who care for my opinions. Vampire Rave is just like a little sanctuary for all of us
yes a big happy family.I love to read and lean all about new people.There is alot of awsome people on hear and i hope to talk to them all.
Well reading all these threads surely doesnt look like a big Happy family. More like a clan torn apart by its own internal politics to me.
We all have opinions as we should but trying to force them on others seems to be causeing some strife.
This is a place I have spent most of the last oh 6 or 7 months now. 1300 hours on vr at this point.
Its one of my homes even when I am on the road. Where my friends are and where I am who and what I am.
Lets keep it our havens, homes, or what ever word you choose to use for the idea and leave the family bickering somewhere else.....
Sire(ss) Rune Katrina LeFaye
this is all to mushy for me (as shadow wipes tear from eye )but they say the truth herts and use are right this is a great place with great ppl built and run by great minds mslefaye i noticed you spoke of "the old" members do you think there will be a VR nursing cavern place fangs in jar type lol just joking you are right ms lets keep a thought of this comaraderie well done ppl and thank you for my experiences and eye openers
i think the reason i like it so much is that, i am a flirt, and i can do it to everoyne in here just for fun!
Hmmm... in contradiction, we do have diferent opinions. These are the reasons of our strife. Yet by these litle sharing, as long as were open to I deas, we dont have problems...
lol @ fallengoth...liked the commet:P well...i enjoy this site cause i have made some cool friends in here:P
Not to be a killjoy, but i would describe VR as more of a community with lots of smaller familial groups... because there are those of us here that just do not get along with others except those in our particular groups, altho I agree that is is a nice place to meet both new and interesting people and establish such families to be enjoyed in this community. :)
must agree with willowshadow...well i try to get on with everyone:P
A beautiful thing happens when you stop pretending ....You get to see yourself and you like what you are again...
I feel a group hug coming on...
please, if you're wearing spikes on your neck, and your neck is level with my face, don't hug me ... lol *points to a scar from a previous hug*
I havent been here that long either but it has some great member from the ones I have meet that are very kind and willing to help in anyway or just to talk, and everyone is open minded but still have there own opions, it is just like a huge family
Hehe... How cute... This site has been a second home and/or family for many of us...
Just remember to not only be yourself here, but be it in the real world.. Why should you care what other people think?... Simple: don't... It is a waste of precious time and energy to try to be like "everyone else"... Remember, everyone is different, whether it be because of fingerprints or personal preference... No one is exactly the same... Be bigger than the people who would mock your true self and stand on your own two feet for what you believe in....
This place it the greatest to me, I've made tons of interesting friends on here.
i have been made to feel welcome buy all i have met here
I have been greeted well by many here as well, and they have made this a great place to be... yet it still feels more communal.
Here like in the real world... I am myself... only here I don't have people constantly brushing up against me... like when I'm at university, or when I go out... I don't like people standing in my way, and you can ask anyone who knows me well.... I've been throwing people out of my path lately! Here I can also analyse people like I normally do... and I just love it!
to me it is a home to this place is the best i have made so many friends
i haven't been here for very long. less than a week, in fact. but i feel very comfortable and at home here.
This is true and good, but you now have to do this in your real life...in reality...
it is right to call what we have here as a family but it is also right to realize that even in the best of families, there will be differences. There will be arguments and people not seeing eye to eye. It is to be expected and dealt with, with the most deplomacy you can muster at the time. There is a reason we have a mom and a dad. they play peace keeper. so does the administration. It is best to solve it ourselves and prove ourselves mature enough to handle this but when that fails. ...
i just think it silly to think that we are all going to agree or that we should keep it to ourselves when we don't
I wouldn't say that I'm at home here. At home, I can do nothing, but here, if I'm inactive for too long, they log me off LOL! It's all good, though, because I am definitely at ease here. I think I've made more friends on here in the last 10 days than I ever did in 4 years of high school!
One big happy family, for sure! And I pride myself on the fact that everyone on here, like me, puts the "fun" in dysfunctional!
i love being here im home at last and im loveing it here poeple like me and dont freak out by the strange and demented things that come out of my mouth but in this case out of my fingers
hehehehe
not all of us are goth or the many other kinds of goth but we are all interested in the same thing
VAMPIRES!! ^^^HEHEHEHE^^^
Yeah I feel as though vr is like one big family. Exspecially with some of the squabbles that go on here. Which makes us a family. Personally I owe alot to this site without it I wouldn't have met some great people.
vr yes to it, for it not for it
i wounld not have know life and new friends to be myself
Hmmm Family. Well it's all good and I agree but please no hugs.
I have enjoyed it very much since I arrived here....I have met some really fantastic people here...and have never felt so at home anywhere...I like being able to speak my mind...As for us being a family....I feel that way as well...show me most families that dont have conflict. It either works out or it doesnt..just like families
Soory, computer problems. I was supposed to say I agree...this is different from real life...
being on VR helps during my prozac moments...its almost therapeutic :) LOL
yes yes yes, its very nice. :) the only thing i dont really like is when people feel obligated to rate premium members higher... but ratings have nothing to do with friendships :)
I keep coming back in any spare moment I get. Addicted is what I am.
i found many things on vr, family sanctuary, friends, consol, as well as lots of information so it is my family and my addiction
I'm new here - but finding old friends from elsewhere on the net - and new ones too...
What's not to like?
I highly agree with you. This is a very welcoming place. I like it so much that im here almost every day.
^__^;;
i love being here i have felt nothing but pure love since my joining of this family
not quite at home but its a very interesting place2be in,highly addictive..:D
This site is practically my second home. The people are nice here and it's a good site to be part of.
this is my 2nd home and it is an addiction
I lUV V.R and everyone on here
This site is sooooo different from real life. In real life, I'm ridiculed often, usually totally ignored, have my confidence betrayed, and people talk trash about me behind.....my........back.......uh......
......................
..........You know, now that I think about it, this really IS a case of art imitating life. Never mind!
I am so happy to have found this site! I feel almost like it is a second home for me as well :) I've met a lot of really great people here. It is nice to have found a place where we can express our ideas and not be ridiculed or mocked for things that we believe. Definetely different from my Highschool days lol. Thanks Cancer!
oh yeah and before I forget...
*hugs and bites for everyone!* :D
aw come on people can you keep the noise down I'm trying to sleep here. :p
thank you. oh and turn the damn lights out please. :D lmao
Awwwww *special feeling* lol I agree, I love meeting new people on here ^-^
yes this is my second home....lol i think i am closier to some on here then my real family ...lol
and you all know who you are...*smile*
I am new here. I don't fit in anywhere else. I love this place. It isn't a second family it is my only family.
Jade1,ur family it is..and its like the best one ever,we can bite eachother all the time and have fun with that..:))
a friend turned me on to the rave..seemed like fun..but after a few days i found so much more.i found friends ppl who were like me. i found love in so many ways and on so many levels.i found smart ppl who are more then just A/S/L or hey wanna cyber..i found a home and a family..thank you everyone so much
oh and demon... i like it with the lights on but i'll turn them off if you'll turn up the music..love ya all
i really like it here, because even with my flaws, i'm still all good to be myself.
i believe many like it here. a place to show self expression and differences without the stereotypes and arrogance of others. sure there may be a few here and there but over all we're all here for eachother to share our views and share what we wish.
I have more friends and family here then I do in real life, honset to god, pretty embarrassing though.
I agree wholeheartedly that the members of this website for the most part welcome a stranger with open arms. The unorthadox is not considered blasphemy, for the most part religion is not ridiculed. Maybe put to the test, so to speak.
Everyone here is great and I'm still fairly new. Hope to chat with you one by one. ;) Get to know yas
I personally also feel like one, big, addicted family member to this site. almost everyone here that I have had the pleasure of talking to have been really kind and nice. Not quick to judge. I can say I will be around for awhile.
As always hugs to the ones who make it possible to have that second home.
it is a great place2be in,10x4the ones that made it possible,and each and every one of yas makes it this way,so lets all congrat eachother4that...:)
im not sure that i would call all of this groupe like family though i do have a few close friends on here
but it is nice to have a place with people of like minds can get together and chat
