The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Sunday, July 15 2007 the website SomethingAwful.com posted an article about VampireRave & it displayed some things that members have wrote. I don't know the link but I'm sure if you go the site, you will find it. Thanks for your time everybody!!!

aw thanx for letting me know about it i will go and see it now.

here is the addy..

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend-web/vampire-rave.php

Look at it closely people..it is seven pages of us! It is so much bs..IDK...I am just livid!!

its wrong what was done, made a comment about me, and well Im not pleased with it.

They will burn in a lake of acid, where their skin will slowly burn until their screams can be heard through the silent night.
Fuck them. I hope they read this. ^_^ Cuz then I would love to say more.

I read it and I am pissed, I can not stand people like that!

What rights do they have to go onto another site and copy what people have posted and place it somewhere else. That is a bunch of BS...

they say I am a fuckin idiot because they say I walk in my sleep and get the bruses like tha,t funny part, my partner who slept with me and my daughter did not see me getting up, and also saw me getting strangle bu somehting not there, they saw the pressure on my skin on my throath ....
I mean geeee knowing sleep walking did that I would think I am an idiot, but then again morons I dont sleep walk, when I do if I do, I got a person always near by to stop me, and I have,nt sleep walk in 6 years. and even so it was one time. they are fukin morons and idot sorry for th efoul langugage but I despise being called what I am not. Sorry guys tis not you. its that site

Some people just need to be kicked in the face. Its exactly what the person wanted, to get you all riled up. Dont give him the satisfaction. They are just mad that they cant be as cool as us, lmfao.

I know nothing about the law, but some people have had their photo's reproduced does anyone know if in fact that is lawful ?

They have taken stuff out of contex to make us look like fools.....thing is was it one of us ?

I wonder if Cancer has any way of finding out ? I hope so.

I know CR sorry, but I hate being called what I am not, ether idiot or liar or crazy (okay maybe crazy is true lol but in a way I ma crazy about life)

I mean they say its only teenagers who are depress and crave for attention, I highly doubt, because I know plenty who are older then me and I am far form a teenager, even if I am not an elder

As for the law yes it is against the law to use a person's pictures without their conscent.

The more I think about it the more angry I become.

How crazy is it to come to a place where EVERYONE has the chance to speak and ask questions wihtout being called freak !!!

It's the crazies that drove us here, and now they follow and mock.

People that post on the net do not have privacy. That is the nature of the beast. Including pictures folks. Keep that in mind the next time you make a comment or upload a picture. Some of your employers are also looking by doing a google on you. Unless you want the whole world to know - then keep it to yourself. ~ billy

"Argh, those vampire mods are bastards."

Whoever wrote that needs to grow up and open their mind to other sub-cultures.

Now that i kind a lower the steam it make sme laugh I mean I was important enough for them to waste their time to printscreen my post and create a comment to try to ide they....low..or small tiny selves, and it makes me laugh, wow I am on the net wow I am a star lol, gee got to get an agent fast lol

Hmmm.... My post regarding a spell to make a werewolf was on page three. Frankly, I;m disappointed that it wasn't page 1. :)

I'm claiming their quote. lol. Makes a great VR signature.

"Argh, those vampire mods are bastards."
~ somethingawful.com

hey all! this jackass has an email attached to the pages he wrote and I hope you drop him a line....I DID LMAO

"I just wanted to thank you for spewing out your close-minded opinion about VR over the course of 7 WHOLE PAGES! I mean honestly....if the people on VR are the ones with no life and are SOOOO lame....then WHY is that YOU are rambling on and on about us over 7 pages??? Wouldnt that be one with NO LIFE talking about us goth rejects and angered teens? wouldnt that make YOU look pretty lame as well?? I would like to just mention for the record....not EVERYONE on VR is goth, someone that thinks they are a vampire, someone that drinks blood or someone in the middle of teenage turmoil....but WAY to go on making yourself look like an ass while spending SO MUCH TIME promoting a great site! AND A GREAT SITE IT IS!!

sincerely,
Innocentprncss"

Hmmm, well no duh that what we post is for all public eyes, and whoever....whenever. I too am "featured" on this site....and it's not even my best work...Dammit will try harder next time...and really I am posting this comment to the ppl that read it from "something awful"....
If you have the balls...or guts to post something there about what you really feel...post it here....hell send me a PM and tell me how you feel...shit post a thread here, with your so called flamming comments....this is a pretty open site, and the threads if not closed by personal preferenes and by the VR Rules...will be seen by more viewers... Don't cha think??

OMG now I'm insulted they didn't include anything I wrote lol.....the swines, don't they know genius when they see it lmao

too true queenofchaos...I also agree that the little chicken shits could have at least brought some of their harsh words here and let us defend ourselves rather than hiding on another site and bashing us there....but we all know that little sissys that cant hold their own MUST hide out and bash people in secret. I agree and encourage them to leave me a PM....I already sent him an email and if you would like you could all do the same....at least we were allowed that much

The e-mails sound great but just for the record: VR does not condone spamming or flaming another site. ~ billy

"Argh, those vampire mods are bastards."
~ somethingawful.com

of course billy...and I dont even think for sure its the site per se....its more the twisted, one-sided view of one person....I think that if we are given access to email him that we are entitled to give our opinion of what he had to say about us...after all...whats put on the internet is open and free...as our comments were lol

Who cares what some site says. Its just bashing, nothing more.

i just read the article and i'm pissed. how dare they come on here, take stuff from our site, make fun of us, i think whoever the person that did that shall burn for this.

Ok just my two cents. I would not worry about anything on another site its just flaming or trolling or whatever you want to call it. It means absolutely nothing and if we get all enraged and start emailing then we are just giving them further ammunition to put on their little site. This site is about Vampires their site is about making fun of things they find on the web it doesn’t matter smile laugh and enjoy Vampire Rave

I don't really want to email any one, I just personally think it is not even right. I mean wouldnt someone in order to have to get the kind of stuff that they copied and pasted have to be a member. Or can anyone just come on the site and take whatever they choose.

yeah i agree. it's a bunch of bs what they did. but i'm just gonna leave it alone. no need feeding there twisted desire to make us out worse after this.

You are so correct Lore, and I have already been contacted by someone from the site...*Smiles, planned worked* And yes they are just there to make fun of what ppl write on the "World Wide Web" Hey its a compliament when they speak about us...but like I told this guy....from "Something Awful."
#1- Freedom of Speech. We have the freedom to say what we want, and he has the freedom to write and say what he thinks. Most ppl think things, but NEVER say them....and then there are some folks that have the ability to say things, but should only think them, lol. So the forums he said are not directed at the person, rather just the words that are shared. I also mentioned that freedom of speech is great, but when someone takes that and replies with something harsh that is directed at them and the intention is to be hurtful, well they are just "clowns"... if someone thinks something bad, good about me....say it too me..directly not behind my back.

Hey at the very least its free advertising for the site maybe some people will come and have a closer look and see beyond what has been said. Again smile laugh gnash your teeth whatever you have to do and just enjoy being the unique beings you all are.

Here is the convo from the person on the site "Something Awful" but NOT and I repeat NOT the one that posted about VR.

Sure, you can post it. Just let your buddies know this: It's not the end of the world, and it's healthy to take a bit of criticism, even if it's not the type you like to see.

Peace

Hey it's all cool...and I laugh when I read these articles as well...and I post some comments in the threads, and I don't disagree with you...but I am a straight shooter... my theory is...You have something to say to me, have the guts to say it too my face...talk to me not behind my back...if that makes sense. Crazy or not...we all have views and perhaps beliefs...that is the freedom of speech...but when it's directed at someone directly to be hurtful..is clownish.

Did you want me to post this from you? I can in a heartbeat of you wish.

Hi there. I'm from SomethingAwful. I'm not the person who wrote the article about VampireRave.com, but I'm one of the thousands of people who did read it.

I wanted to reply to the thread in your forum, but apparently I'm not allowed to post until I'm a Level 2 Mosquito or something like that, and I'm not willing to go through all that trouble. It's alright with me, though if you posted this message in the thread. I really don't care either way, since I likely won't be watching this thread for much longer.

Here's how SomethingAwful works (keep in mind I'm not an official representative): We like to make fun of strange things/people. We see your 'sub-culture' as strange. It makes no sense to us, and if you were truly honest with yourselves, you would understand why lots of people wouldn't take you seriously.

Pretending you're a vampire is one thing. Actually believing you are a vampire is something completely off the wall. I have known people that say they're vampires, and every one of them had serious psychological issues. I know that is merely anecdotal, but I think they needed to sit back and take account of what exactly they were doing. Do you realize what you actually look like to other 'normal' people? Do you understand that the only conclusion we can come to is that you are crazy?

Don't get pissed at us, get pissed at yourselves for looking like nuts. And you do look like nuts who take themselves way too seriously. On our website, that qualifies you guys to be mocked by us.

Hope that helped. Keep in mind that we don't know you personally, we just know the persona you put forth on the web. If you don't want us to call you crazy, try not to look crazy.

so bottom line, they can decid waht is "normal" and waht is not? and according to their criteria we are not.

I just emailed the person that runs that crap of a site...Im sure it will be posted on there at some point.

Its just a bunch of bull, seriously, dont let some fucktard get to you. (escuse my french)

Again i would say leave it alone we are feeding them what they want by sending irate emails. What they say doesnt matter we all love the rave and have a place to express ourselves here they have a place to express themselves on their site. I dont want to sound like i am defending them but they have an equal right to freedom of expression even if some of us dont like or agree with what they are saying.Get it off your chests in the VR forums and move on you are all wonderfull expresive and unique individuals what someone who doesnt know you says doesnt matter.

I just basically said.

Is that all you have to do in your life...surf the net looking for people to bash...get a real job and leave those people alone.

For those who were “featured” in this post feel good you’re getting recognition :)

It made me realize I so need to be posting more!

As for the person who wrote it well they liked the site enough to reach a level and be able to join a coven. I wouldn’t read too much into its more than likely a disgruntle member.

You have to keep in mind no matter where you are or go there will be people who will not want to hear what you have to say. But it is there loss really let them live in there small minds locked away in there shell with there boring existence.

So don’t let someone who has nothing better to do with there time then troll a web site to bitch effect you :)

I have 5 words for that site

Sue for Defimation of character

Hmmm, but that is it...they are poking fun of the characters we perceive..the ones we put out there for ppl to see, and form an opinion. Let's face it when we make a profile you are wanting ppl to see you....your words are how you describe yourself...cause why else do we do it? I agree that its more fun having someone speak about you...and it is more advertising for VR.... You can't win them all...and you certainly don't want too...

There were a few things in that note from them that made my teeth itch alittle...It was all the "clumping" of members...

"Your nuts" or "your crazy" "you ppl" and assuming we all have psychological issues
but that is just to show not everyone is as open minded as we are here in VR!

So hats off to all my Co-VR members.. We are in a class of our own!

*giggles*

Is this even legal some of those kids are under 18 and there is a law that protects minors even if its freedom of speach.There IDs can not be used I am not lauging how ever Discruntal this member is would he like it if it happend to him? Should agree that cancer should look in to this it is advertising his site with out asking copy writed material.

well it is good to know that we have a class of our own....i was so livid when i read that...

I sent the owner and the person who wrote the article an email about it. If u want to email them as well here's their adds.

webmaster@somethingawful.com, acetone@somethingawful.com

I am with everyone on this on how pissed I am. One they took our writings and put it on their page which is wrong. They took my thread Dreams and posted it but that I don't care much for but the people who replied to it...them slaming them. That pisses me off to no end. And CryingMist what they said about u pissed me off as well about GrieviousDemon. What we say on this site should be for our eyes only. I think u should have to be a member to read the forums and everything else. Maybe someone should tell Cancer about it.

Copyright infringement (or copyright violation) is the unauthorized use of material which is covered by copyright law, in a manner that violates one of the original copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works that build upon it. The slang term bootleg (derived from the use of the shank of a boot for the purposes of smuggling) is often used to describe illicitly copied material.

COPA enforces penalties of a $50,000 fine and six months in prison for the posting for "commercial purposes" of content on the internet that is "harmful to minors". Material that is "harmful to minors" is defined as:

"any communication, picture, image, graphic image file, article, recording, writing, or other matter of any kind that is obscene or that--
"(A) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find, taking the material as a whole and with respect to minors, is designed to appeal to, or is designed to pander to, the prurient interest;
"(B) depicts, describes, or represents, in a manner patently offensive with respect to minors, an actual or simulated sexual act or sexual contact, an actual or simulated normal or perverted sexual act, or a lewd exhibition of the genitals or post-pubescent female breast; and
"(C) taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors." §231(e)(6).

Cool im gunna check it out now

he did this for the posting for "commercial purposes" of content on the internet that is "harmful to minors". and that pictures and IDs of minors can not be used i have all ready stated this.

The page has now been removed

its been posted back up again?

It's still up on the site. I just looked.

Apparently. When I emailed the people I let everything fly. Mine had language and all kinds of shit in it.

did you give them the information about copyright infringment and the one about the minors?

i don't think that they are going to take it down.......i just realized that if they did it on any other site, no one at that site would have cared. with us we are like a family and we, as a family, have been insulted. this shouldn't piss us off, it should just make us laugh. they were stupid enough to not get facts straight and stereotyped the whole site. instead of letting this irk us we should use it to show our decency and not retaliate. if anything, retaliating will give them more to write about and poke fun at.

No I didn't. But I should have. But I seriously do not like my stuff being taken from one site and posted on another site by someone other than myself. That is definately disrespectful. And disrespecting Cancer and bashing his site is wrong.

people needt o get a life they have nothing better then to copy people's work and post it somewhere else.

Exactly and that is what makes it so irritating.

I find that amusing. Stupid idiots. What a life. "Let's make fun of other sites because we are bored."

Phhf. Don't quit your day job.

Creativity went out with the darkages this is a new era were you just copy and past and call it your own.

the page is not gone its still there... sorry i just read it and it pisses me off to no end 1 those are our opinions 2 it SHOULD be for our eyes only even though its the world wide web.

Somethings should be meant for MEMBERS ONLY!

woo wooo woooooo
They say I'm a crazy woman
wooo wooo wooo

I think it's hilarious.

They aren't the first to question my sanity LOL

Nope has not been removed. Just checked it.

I seriously doubt that they r going to remove it.

lol at least you got reconized its now confirmd cause its posted that your crazy take a pic of the artical and post it in your journal for proof lol

I was joking the whole thing is horrible.

Here's their comment on me. LOL
I love it.


"Haha she can't get fangs because she has braces. How sad is that? Yeah, the look on their (dentists) faces is going to be the appropriate look that someone should have when a crazy woman makes a crazy request."

I just went and took a look, there the joke, how distasteful, they sure are bored with their life, lol.

I don't find it funny. I think it's disrespectful. U don't understand how I look at it and I can't explain it to u either.

Special thanks to The Betrayer, Boniface, templar187, Cuddlebottom, ryborg, Huggable Bear King, TekLok, Roberto_Silencio, zeyvos, and Euphoria.

That is at the end of the article. Those r members of the site. That is betrayal.

Well they took stuff without permission which is stealing. U not see that?

But they shouldn't be able to post it. Geez.

Not meaning to sound like a bitch but this is me heated.

Ur right. I mean they had to be interested in the stuff to actually come looking and take the time to read it. It's still get's under my skin though no matter what anyone says.

This will not be a popular post here, but:

There are making fun of things that are already being made fun of on this site. For that alone, this needs to be taken in stride. They really do have PLENTY of ammo.

lol

So many panties in a twist!

I think it's rather a amusing. And while I can see why you might get upset, consider that I'm on there too, but it doesn't bother me, even though as a moderator of this forum, I am partly responsible for the content which has been allowed.

However, I take issue with the inclusion of a cut from another website, which is a silly error for them to make.

But that they take the time to go through and find the most inane commentary on the site with which to rip the piss, shows that VR has reached a level where it needs a little bit of outside observation and sarcasm.

CHORDEWA,

No, it is the work of more than one individual. A team goes through and finds what they consider the most targetable.

In between them taking those cuts and posting, I have removed several of them.

yes he is a member of one

Ok this may not mean anything to yall, but here is my two cents as well...number 1 it was probably someone from this site who was disgruntled about something in here and they got pissed off and thought the perfect revenge would be to post there. Why get upset over something you cant control? whats done is done and nothing can change it. if you all get mad, then that person is getting what they wanted in the first place and the more people who message him/her is just adding more fuel to the fire and giving him more and more to cut and paste the way he/she wants to put up more BS about you. Fuck him I say. Let him say or think what he wants to I dont give a flying rat's ass. Hell all he is really doing is advertizing for us, really.

It could be forums that have been deleted.

When we post anything on the net, it is available for anyone to view. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if we don't like it. Does it really suprise anyone that some small minded people decided to air their opinions on something of which they may or may not have an understanding of? This country was founded with certain inherant rights, one of which happens to be freedom of speech. While I am not pleased with these people's posts, I still have to respect their rights.

Screw it it seems some don't care.

lets just kill the maker and get it over with. or put a fire in his/her's a**.
she/he doesn't know anything about us. so why go and make that stupid article?
he/she can fall in a ditch, rott and die!

well I wonder if I go to a newspaper website (public right?) then I take bits here and there place them as I feel like to make fun and humiliate waht it si said, what the poeple say, tell me why then the newspaper can sue me for copyright and for flamming the poeple in it if its a public newspaperwebsite? I mean if its illegale for me to do that, then why is it not illegale for them to do liek they did it, taking out fo context, and then puts itsibits here and there ot make it match their own view of normal or not, insteado fot akingt he whole story, the complet info?

the only way it would be illegal is if it was to exploit a minor, or if it was to use copyrighted info....it did neither, therefore it is legal...I will say this again. Take it as a compliment. They posted a few of your faces on another site and you may get seen by a modeling agency or something and then you can make money...It isn't likely, but it is a plus to this.

Just dont let people get to you, yeah at first it kinda was disturbing. But the more you think about it the funnier it does seem to be... Let them have there fun.

To be honest...someone obviously brought this site to their attention...and I'm just assuming here that it might have been someone that is very angry with this site for who knows what reasons..but the best way to handle it is not give it so much attention because that in itself gives it too much credit..

I honestly don't believe Vampire Rave is at the mercy of Something Aweful..

"lets just kill the maker and get it over with. or put a fire in his/her's a**.

This, no doubt, will be next on the list of posts to go on that site. At least it would be were I writing the piece.
Wishing someone death for voicing an opinion different from yours...that's mature and will definitely gain you the respect of those you wish it from. Way to go.

CryingMist, if you went to a public newspaper and cited it correctly, you would not be doing anything illegal. The guy merely put a couple of sentences before and after and has screen snapshots. He isn't making up stuff, all the authors really did write the posts that he makes fun of.

This is a public domain and can be put anywhere on the net. There is no such thing as privacy here.

Im with you on that one TheDame.I thought it was funny as hell.
