I am aware that vampyrism is viewed as fetish/fascination, lifestyle, and pandora's box. But I was wondering why everyone decided to join the site and what their intentions were once they joined (i.e. roll playing, information, congregate, hunt, etc.)
When I came here I just wanted to meet new people who were into the same sorta scene I was into. I have made tons of new friends :)
I must admit that DarknessBound dragged me here. At first I thought the vampire theme was a bit intimidating. I never in a million years thought I would meet such wonderful people. I was eager to learn more about the darker aspects of life (vampirism, occult, Goth). It has certainly been a pleasure being a part of this wonderful community. I have a much better understanding of it. I definitely feel comfortable embracing a darker life style.
♥
Meet others but also to dig into various ways of interpeting vampires. Which I'll be feeding into my adventures as I'm a gamemaster :D
www.gotblack.com
The story goes like this...
My freind's band (element a440) has a link to gotblack on thier site. So I went there, and then I saw the banner for the rave. As soon as I got here I knew I would love it, because I ran into an old friend of mine within a few minutes...
more info, more people,
interesting things right and left.
About GotBlack.com.... It's the only site 'similar' to VR that I would ever recommend. I know the site creator from my Vampire Radio days... He's a good guy.
Although in terms of overall experience, VR and GotBlack are pretty different...
I came on this site at the invitation f a friend and found it interesting in all areas of vr
I came about this site as an accident..
I was very uneasy about joining since I thought this was another role playing site.. but as I went through the site I saw that there were similar people like me and now I'm glad I joined.
i joined this site coz i wanted to meet like minded people with same interests
i joined b/c i am hated in this town 4 whut i am, im not craving attention, but i want a few friends
I was surfing the net looking for info on Vlad Tepes and came across the site by accident...loved it...and stayed
From what I can recall for some reason it took me a while to make up my mind to create a profile, I don't know why.. but anyhow I always found this site fascinating, I used to browse in for info, then it gets into blood or something..
I discovered the site from #vampires,mirc a chatting programme,but only some months later I decided to join the site.I hasitated since I don't follow a vampiric life style.But the purpose was,to meet people from around the world who tought they could be somewat like me and with the same interests:)
For a start, i dont see vampirism as a fetish lifestyle, I see it s an alterior perspective on energy utilisation, and this is the aspect that i practice and am interested in. i m also intrestd in parallel subjects, so i wanted to meet others who shared this, and learn new stuff.
I found this site totally by accident. Checked it out, liked what I say and opened an account. I came here for the information and to meet like minded people. I have met some wonderful people on here and you know who you are. The people are what keeps me here and all the new information.
I found this site because of a friend.. I joined n liked it.. So I joined.. Also I like to find new people with common interest.
well, as Raven and alot of others, i stumbled upon VR while looking for some books and fangs, so i checked it out, and as it is, as we all know, higly adicted, i am here since november...and am not planing to go...
i got given the site by a friend and i enjoyed the company and yeah am addicted
My cousin directed me to this site and I haven't left yet. Very addictive.
I walked in one day, and I still cant find the door..........
Zexerz- that's basically how it is with me as well. Someone on VampireFreaks.com had a banner and a link to VR in their profile, so due to my overwhelming need to find out what VR is, I came here, and found it so interesting. BTW this place is MUCH better than VF, I'm just pissed that I got a PM for there less than a month ago, and I've already found something better..... oh well, I shall have a PM here soon enough. I basically came here to find interesting people with similar interests and find out more about myself.
i got lost and wound up here, but that is i good thing. im am here to learn more and meet like minded people,make freinds plus i like it here. lmao
A friend told me this was a cool place, and I've outlasted his stay here :P
Plus I wanted to learn about vampires more before I decided if they were real or not.
I found this web site by accident as well, I was looking for information on danny Elfman & was directed here. I found it pretty awesome. I have always been facinated by vampires and have recieved a lot of new information about the life style &pardon the term Myths.
wow alot of you found it by accident... i was told about it from m'Lord who found out about it from a friend... so it like a huge epidemic that is spreading like a wildfire! lol... like you all i share the same addiction ::twitches:: oh the gushy goodness!
my best friends are on here, and i have met some awsome new friends.
Yes, it was by acident, as I was looking for Theatre des vampires, and thinking on going to bed. Right...After I found this, I went to bed 12 hours later; and here I am, to learn and share. I'm adicted and I love it. I got in, and don't want to get out.
I was looking for pics of vamps and got directed here..no VR has become an obsession I cant get rid of...I even got a couple friends hooked here as well..I have enjoyed making all the new friends I have here....and enjoying all the information
I used to be on *vampires on MIRC and was told that VR just opened up so I joined for the hell of it
the reason that i cam here was to meet new people and be arould people of the same mind set
i walked by my battle buddy, who was on this site. i saw it, and instantly fell in love. this is now my home away from home, away from home. i have met some really great people here, and some possible long lasting relationships.
I was looking for information for my book and I wanted a different perspective then we get from movies and I found VR. You wont get rid of me easily!
I have a dark side deep within that has been trying to come out - and a fascination with vampires.
Since I have been here, I have gotten to know many interesting and wonderful people, as well as having gotten to know myself better in the process!
to hunt. I can't resist that urge.
Mainly to meet new people though.
Find some friends, etc.
I was directed here by Mordes, when I asked if Daermon was anywhere to be found on the net. After a couple of days, I was addicted....:)
my main reason for joining was to meet new people and to see what other people's interests and views are on vampires, etc.
First Imprssions. i joined this site for a couple of reasons. For one, my girlfriend is part of this site and she told me about it. For two, i want to get to know people that are or close to what i am. PeAcE
i joined this site to meet others who are similar to me.
Why? Because I'm interested in vampirism. Intentions? Meeting like-minded people.
I joined this site because I was looking for a place where I could feel comfortable and meet others that shared the same interests, lifestyle, and have dark open minds like myself. When I saw this site I immediately knew this would be the one to keep my attention and oh it has, I’m addicted. I’ve met some wonderful, creative, insightful, and genuine people here. I love you all!
meet new people and just wanted to join when i found it
I found the site from Vamire Radio, of which I was a long time listener. Every couple of months I'd check the site to see if anything was ever put back into production. One day I clicked on the rave link. Discovered it was run by Cancer and automatically paid for a year's PM before I even made a profile.
This site allows me to air out my darker stories and poems. It also gives my dark side a chance to stretch from the day of having to lay quietly.
we have always had some interest in vampires and other abnormals. but now is the fascination and fun individuals.
i joined to meet other vampires like me and what their expereinces as being a vampire have been
so those that have come here for information... have you been satisfied or is the information not exactly what you were looking for but decide to stay because of the people you met?
The Vampire Radio is no more, thanks to the prudes at the RIAA. There are archives of the live shows still there, however.
Vampire Radio
it started like this, i was havin some problems and i started talking to a friend of mine while sitting around b.s.ing with my friend he told me about VR and showed me it. i liked what i saw, a bunch of creative intelligent people to surround myself with knowledge humor and people who have similar ideas.
Im here to meet new people that have some or many of the same interests that I do......Vampirism is a fade for most....but the true ones will be around forever....in a sense.
I found this wonderful place out of a Google search I believe. I also wanted to talk to fellow vampires people who have the same interests I do. I love this site.
I am here because of wonderful friends and like minds.
:D
i first found out about this site from darknessbound and deity. at first they were always talking about it and would always hurry home to get online and talk about it and who was online and who siad what about who and all that sort of stuff. at first i wan't into it whatsoever. to be honest, i was scared of it. it was't untill i was the offical photographer for the frist of many "photoshoots" that i saw the beauty in it all.
I came across it by accident and decided to join because it seemed like a good way to pass the time and have now meet a handful of interesting ppl.
I found the site through other sites about the vampire.
This sounds like a testimonal for an infor-mercial!
seriously, I joined the Rave becuase I felt compelled by it...I love this place.
I was just searching for anything about vampires and found this site. It's basically been an addiction ever since. I've met some pretty cool people with similar interests to my own on here, now I get orders for Iraq with the Army, so I guess I'll have to substitute this addiction with something else. I must admit, I will definitely miss reading comments/posts from Empress. Maybe she'll write me while Im there....
not all inpretions really matter b/c i think some ppl pretend to be some one else and if u meet them in person then first inprestions count
Well of course to meet new people but also to get into other peoples head to find out more information knowldge is power and believe it or not not everyone on here who claims to be something unordinary is really role-playing and I'm always constantly hunting to find them
in the beginning i didnt want to join. but my sis signed me up anyways. so now i just come on here to talk to friends, make friends, and just pass by the time. lol
Well I stumbled across this site while looking for Vampyric sites. Joined for a while, then left. Came back and been hooked ever since. Its such a nice place, everyone is friendly. Like a second home, a second family.
I got this site from Dark Wolfman, good friend. Checked it out loved it. Kept it in my thoughts now its my escape from the all S*** that goes wrong in my world.
Well i put a whole section in my profile sepcifically for this subject but basically i was searching the web for Fang implants and Solid black full eye contacts i came apon a good sight and after browing it completly i say an advertisement for this site i decided to click the link and instantly i fell in love with the vampiric layout and later the complex ranking, awesome profiles, nice people and uptodate information. this place has become like a home for me.
Read the section in my pro, "how i came to the site"
I joined because of my friend and because i always found this very interesting.. Now this place is home to me :D
To meet people that have things in common.....to escape reality!!!
I am a vampire buff, i live the lifestyle, fetish, the reads all of it, i came across this site and i fell in love. i knew i had found a place where nobody would judge what i was into. I came here to meet people and to expand my horizons. so far i have yet to be dissapointed.
ok here's my interesting story... I first got to this site through #vampires on Mirc, cause everyone kept mentioning it, and after a really long time I decided to visit, but then I joined immediately! And I got to #vampires through LadyBlood, cause I met her in the school library one day and she was chatting on it! But I was always keen on the vampire way of life!
One day, I was researching Vampirism and I seen this link, so I click on it. It ended up being here and I looked around and about. I found this all very interesting and I had a good instinct about this site. So I joined, and ever since, I am craving the addiction.
I also have come here to, of course, learn more about Vampirism and whatnot. Also, to meet others of my kind and others as well.
Thank you, Cancer for creating this site!
a friend told me about this site
i dont know why i joined
well lady ashlee i guess that my intentions were to find more people like me night birds people who are haunted with things of the past like 8 of your xes commiting suicide being hit by a semi and their brother blowing off their face with a scattergun but mainly to find people who understand who can relat with
I just wanted to meet new people...but i really lyk vampires...and one of my friends told me about this and said its really cool and now i am addicted...heh =D
ever since i can rememeber i have always respected vampires, werewolfes, everything alike. and i wanted to learn more about them thus i went searching and found this site, and i absolutely loved it. its so addictive as everyone would know.
I joined because I was researching a book and fell in love with vampires along the way.
I think the presentation of the forum is really good, and the things like status do keep people coming back.
My friend SilentSuccubusRayne gave me the link. So, I came and looked around. Shortly after I joined I found out more about my....inheritance...as well as what others consider it to be/think of it. But overall I joined to be a part of a community that has similar interests in blood.
I found this site while searching for other vampires and I think I may have found a place I belong so I stayed...
I agree with echo... status brings out your competitive side and brings people back..
found the site searchin on other vampirerelated things and got stuck...
and really enjoying bein stuck hehe
could be worse places to be stuck.. and with worse people ... lol
yea and at least we dont bite... hard... unless you want it... but still, you get the idea... ;)
We don't?
I do...
oh just not hard... wait...
I do...
ummmmmmmm
*whistles innocently and slips out the back door*
ok she and a couple others around here don't....
::looks around::
I dont want to stick my foot in my mouth yet
::runs to bathroom and washes feet::
*just in case*
girlfriend told me so i thought wot the hell im not exactly a goth or vamp more metal head but wotcha gunna do
I was already on VF and I was doing a search on vampires and came across this site. I've been totally addicted ever since. I was looking for ppl with similar lifestyles and view points.
I came by word of a friend and loved it with in a few minutes and I have only known of this site for two days but its awsome with great people
spectacular... i wonder who started the epidemic... well obviously cancer is the creator but I wonder how it spread so quickly?
Something tells me that VR is my destiny... And that unexplainable forces brought me here...
... or it might just have been a coincidence.
Anyway, I love it here.
I was lost, then I found this place, then I found other places and some people and then I found me and then I found more people and now, I'm still here...this place has gravity...
lol stabb.. that was the most confusing thing i have ever read.. lol
I think it's cause there are only a few places that cater to peoples of our interests...
and it's arguably the best one of it's kind.. and truely in some ways
the only one of it's kind...
well i joined the site when i was in an IT class at school. i had been trying to find a website about vampires and this appeared so i joined. im on here to make new friends and to just chat to people really
I've always wanted to explore the world of vampires, so when i found this place, it was a dream come true
For info. To learn more about the Impaler, hear about books and movies and to study and observe how warped most people that frequent this site are.
#vampires and Mirc in general were huge feeding grounds for this place.
Cancer is infectious, people follow him.
To put it lightly, Cancer has been on the scene for a good many years. His Vampire Radio reached many thousands of people and was in production for many years. He is well respected, and he has earned it. It is merely logical that when someone who has been something of a mover and shaker starts something new, it will be investigated. Word travels fast and Cancer attracts good people. There have been some bad apples, but that is like anything else, you merely have to pick them out.
Hmm well it seemed like a pretty cool site.
And i wanted to meet people that were more like me and that were into the same stuff as me.
Pretty much just to make new friends, since I don't have that many.
I wanted to meet people who liked the same things as me:)
I actually stumbled across this site trying to find my best friend a girlfriend. Lol, I told him he need a goth girl to rock his world. Then I ended up becoming addicted and making lots of friends. So...
I came to this site at first when I was posting at gothpoetry.com and saw the word vampyre. I joined though because I was hoping I would find like minded people to befriend or find a doner lol.
I was playing on the internet, typing in random keywords to see if i could bypass my filter...and i found this...so i join and became addicted...well i can stop anytime i want...but i don't want to
___________________________
Don't listen to me, i'm insane.
Initially I came here because the description says "The ultimate vampire resource and directory" I have been researching vampires, demons, fallen angels, and other mystical/mythical creatures for many years and have become addicted.
As an occultist and demonologist I feel like I should learn what others of like mind have learned. Needless to say this site was not what I expected at all. But I have enjoyed meeting the new people and making new friends who share the same interests as me.
very interesting absinthe... if only the real world knew of all of these mystical creatures existed... i think i am a fallen angel lol or atleast thats what my ex used to tell me... i dunno
Even though I am not of a Goth or Vampire background.. I came to VR in support of my GF who is very much into the Goth community and very into the Vampire scene. I have found that the members of VR for the most part have accepted me into their folds in spit of my weirdnes (like that matters here)..
I hope to make as many of you a friend of mine... and when stuck in dark places... that is a very good thing..
