The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I was thinking today about VR and the people
I have met here..

And just how big apart these people and VR have come to mean to me.. and why..

and thought it would be a good thing to be able to express it here..

and also to know what this place and the people here mean to you all as well...

I know personally for me that the canges i made to my life a little over 2 years ago..(ive been on vr over 3)

would have left me a VERY lonley person if it wasnt for my vr family..

The changes i made entailed leaving behind ALOT of so called friends..

everyone I knew and associated with except my family..

it did work i was able to totally change my lifestyle (23) years worth.. (dont need to give details..)

but without VR i wouldnt had a soul to talk to except my folks..(i went to thier house ,,6 hours form where i lived before the change)

anyway.. Im very very grateful for vr and my family hee and that is just one of the reasons why..~jj

I love vr...:)
I am so glad this was created and that my friend introduced me to this wonderful little world(:
Almost everyone on here is just so nice and friendly, that I have met so far anyways.
Vr is my favorite place to be right now. I loooove it:)

My television doesn't let me level up. :)

Lol, games do though.... my Xbox is great for that.

Truth is, I stopped in here in August just to check it out and became addicted to it. I'd met some good people here and for that reason I'm glad I did.

When my friend's daughter told me about this site I thought they were crazy. After I got a profile I was hooked so bad that I stayed up till all hours and it was the first thing I did when I got up in the morning.
I have met many good friends here and I love talking to people around the world.
Thank you Cancer for starting a site where we can all be ourselves and no one laughs or criticizes

VR is awesome ... I found it purely out of boredom and wanted to find some sort of vampire social site .. an this is what Google.com came up with ... I am so glad I googled it ^_^
For those of you who have added me as a friend here (you know who you are) thank you loads. It is you and people like you who really make VR work. Also, many thanks goes to Cancer - thank you for providing us all with such an awesome site ^_^

because of all the new people you get to talk to from all over the world! :)

It is kind of cool to chat with members from 'across the pond' and from Malta, all while having the morning coffee. Plus having fun designing pages with hours of code to loose it all because of *oops.* :)

This may be more suited for a journal entry or something not a post. I see no discussion here

Jeez Mischka Don't be a hater.... Every thread doesn't have to be a debate. Sometimes it's just a stare and compare.

I love VR because it helped me recover my mind and brought me my love.

Thumbs up to Janellie, my amiga!

i'm not a hater scarlette just sayin that i don't see a general discussion in it. I just think that it may be more suited as a journal entry. nothing wrong with stating an opinion is there? gee wiz.

I gotta give it up to Cancer honestly. I've been off and on this site for years but since all the smart changes that were made and done, i'd have to say it's been a lot more fun. I enjoy the people i've befriended so far and really if it wasn't for all the discussions and interaction with others, it wouldn't do anything for me at all. I love it here for the reasons that i can feel free to express myself around others here whereas I probably couldn't anywhere else.

Thanks Cancer :D

its a huge forum of mature attempts to exchange knowledge to me.

I enjoy all the people i have met here some very close to my heart. I laugh and love to hear everyone's walk in life . Its educational with facts.

I got the same model of tv that Billy has, lol ^^

also I got no life no time no friends outside vr, I work 6 days a week, I work on a chaotic schedul, one day days, anothe rnights another evening another morning, never know never stable, so can not have any activity, plus I am to sensitve to the sun to go outside and I hate winters lol

so only thing left is vr, plus I got my own IV hook to VR's server so if I remove it I die, I am to much intoxicated and adicted to it.

And last but not least, I love it here, is there any better reason existing?

To be honest, VR means very little to me anymore. It held my interest months back when it was the way it was (before the Forum became a giant can of Spam) as well as when my beloved game of 5x5x5 was around. I know every website changes, and sometimes its for good, but the way VR has changed has made me grow apart from it.


Now the only reason I come here is to look after my Coven and nothing else.

I just love VR. I've meet so many really nice people on here as well as some evil:) (you know who you are)
I've made so many awesome friends and family. VR feels like a second home to me and im so glad my sis found it by accedent and cancer made it^^
Thank you cancer your awesome.

You gotta love VR, yew get to meet all these gamers and smart folk.

You can pretend to be normal and then just when they they think they are on "terra firma" ...

Boom...you get to rock their boat...sometimes they even fall in!

*Licks.

Honestly, people who join today will in 3 months say 'the forum was so much better when I first joined'. I joined after the site had been going for a year- and I thought the forum was pretty good (2005), but people said it was way better in 2004. Now people joining in 2006 and later say it was good at the time I was already saying it took a downturn. We all have the power to change that though. If we decide to not come here and create threads worthwhile- we're doing it to ourselves.

I don't go as far as getting sappy about Vampire Rave. It's just simply a real cool place to be around people who dig vampires. There's a lot to take advantage of. Even if you don't get involved as staff (you all have the opportunity to at least be an Acolyte providing you have a good record and pass the test), you can also directly influence this place by writing Member Articles and having them published here.

People end up getting burned out from clubs they frequent because their circle of friends leave and new people move in. This kind of thing happens everywhere. But the proof of VR's success is in this pudding- it's constantly expanding in membership as well as the network and options for members.

Yeas i totally agree with you we have the power to change things if we strive for that within VR..

Im happy being able to get my tea first thing in the morning and hop on and walla friends to kick it with , and i didnt even have to get dressed or leave the house!!

outside of vr and my folks and family here i dont socialize AT all.. and i dont need to with my friends here im totally satisified,,:)

PS Thanks scarletta ,my chica!!

It is just as entertaining as myspace, if VR had apps then I would delete my myspae account.

As well, it is a good way for communication and interaction for my spouse and I, when I am at work.

I find VR is a great place to escape. I have met some fantastic people and some complete idiots that have made me laugh and want to cry.

But I enjoy getting away from life and coming into VR posting in the coven forum and chatting away to my friends as I rate lol.

I find it a great place to escape the occasional stress of life.

I love it here I've met loads of great people and 1 very special 1 :)

Why am I here, and what brought me here.. Well first off I was introduced to the site back in March of 2006 by my brother SanityLost, and joined shortly after. what got me hooked was 5x5x5 and the chance to create, be creative and learn some new ideas. See I am a knowledge buff, and enjoy learning new aspects and to see things from anothers point of view openly and without prejudice. We all know things others may not. Which make the forums fun at times. ( Even though we do get a lot of topics repeated over and over at times ) The site has changed since 2006 even as Image's has stated its changed since her time. So with that do I think it has gotten better? Personally I feel the VR standard has fallen. Its all about personal gain now.. I have seen some people change profile names more than underwear around here just to be on top. Now there are times when it is warranted - You dont think before making a name cause you dont know if the site is for you and you end up being here 12 - 16 hrs a day. I do miss the way things were earned with favor, but with society having no real honor now-a-days you get those who ruin it for others. ( cant tell I miss 5x5x5 much huh )

Now I have met some great people which continues to draw to me to the site. If it wasnt for the personal friendships I have made here I would hate to imagine where I would be now.

for me it is like a drug, I can go away but need to come back. It is the ppl that I know and have become very close friends over the time I have been in VR. The challenge of rising up levels. It is very addictive.

This thread is good because it's about one of the Dark Network sites so it's OK.

I agree with Billy the TV doesn't help to level up :(

I also agree with Images, because I saw the same thing and felt the same thing a year after, however I remained here because apart from the Forums there are other things I like on this site.

I joined this site because I wanted to communicate with people from across the globe *waves Billy from Malta* because I don't get along much with the people of my country.

No matter how much people can say the Forum is repetitive and boring, at least I much prefer these threads than the usual talk about gossip, celebrities, boyfriends, fashion, football/soccer, etc...that usually the people I meet in the real life talk about.

This is the only Forum where I feel free I can speak my mind about things that interest me, and find people who are interested too.

I also have a journal where I put all my thoughts and find people who are interested to read them. On facebook hardly no one is interested in discussions unless they're about a gossip and drama about someone, so at least for a few people my thoughts count, 'I' count.

It is my temporary refuge from the many things and people I dislike in my real life.

It's a pity I don't work with a computer, otherwise I'd spend more time here.

Also it helped me a lot during my unemployement years. I find my time was valuable here and have learned more from when I learned at school. I could aslo socialise without spending money at bars, going outside in the cold, but instead remained in my room, alone with no one bothering me and in my pijamas :)

Yes..yet another reason i Love VR ..i can just totally relax and be myself non judged and not judging anyone else ...total acception..

given and recived ..it doesnt matter what you look like or what you have or what you make..just whats on your mind and in your heart..

also Ive learned so many things about such a variety of subjects.. just amazing..

well I love VR and all the great people that I ahve met on here I learned everything I know about computers from bing here and havingpeople teach me how to work things, that alone was a very important thing to me.

been here since the beginning with many different profiels and in many different Houses and Covens, it has cahnged alot yet, I still find itenjoyable and love chatting with my friends as well.

We all gotta give it up for the Admin. I think for always trying to improve it and Cancer has doen that so well I feel just me. :)

Mischka it may not have a discussion but BillytheJust
whome is an Administrator didnt say that it should be a journal post so if the Adminstrator doesnt say anything then the posts keep on going . :P

Well it has always been a place to excape to and be creative... people will come and go. But in the end its just a site to interact with many people... I have met some wonderful people and some not to wonderful but you will have that anywhere. What keeps me here...is debatable.. but certain people are a reason to stick around.

I have always been fascinated by vampires and I love working on code so I bought a 1 year membership and found I could do a lot of coding, then I found out about rating and I became... well I don't want to say obsessed, but close enough and I started to love to rate. I have been on facebook, myspace, vampirefreaks, tagged, IMVU and a bunch of other sites, but here I met my best friend "sister", and I have met some really cool people here, and seem to just fit in.. I love it here...

I love VR my friends and family is here. not out there

OMG, Billy you are hilarious and that statement is SO TRUE!

Yet I have to agree on the Xbox comment also. Strangely, my Playstation, Xbox and Wii don't attract me as often as VR though. I wonder why that is?

VR is addictive in a good way. I love the rules and the Leveling, and well...everything! It is amazing in so many ways I can't possible tell every reason. I could keep a running journal on the subject and have a long post every month and still not name all of the reasons (as Cancer keeps adding more reasons every time I look around).

I love people reading my stories and commenting on my artwork, but mostly I love being able to find the information I am looking for on things when I need it.

I also love the whole 'social networking' thing. This site keeps people fairly polite to others and lowers the 'bashing' to a minimum, unlike other places. So it is also the only place where I talk to people online and make new friends. I can't trust any other site to do that. I know Cancer didn't create it as a social network, but his rules keep the place a happy one (may he never grow lax on the strict policies despite people bitching about them). People who don't like the rules have other options. People who don't mind them have nowhere else to go.

No other site (that I have found) is anything like this one. Cancer is what makes it not only unique, but fascinating to explore. Just being truthful...

*shrugs*

Few things hold my attention long. I doubt I will ever find this site anything but amazing. It is my homepage. It is my everything. If I go elsewhere, it is only for a few minutes (with the exception of Guild Wars (GW2) which is more a game than a site).

I have found VR to be a fascinating place full of such a variety of people its fantastic. Chatting to friends while working on your status keeps you busy and its a great way to escape the mundane reality of life.

I have met many people from all over the world and its been fantastic.

Why VR means so much to me is that I have met some very interesting people here, formed some real friendships with people I got to meet "in real life", learned soooo much about codes and graphics and youtube, and it is a nice little escape when I have some free time.
The forums, at times, have mentioned news before I even heard it on my local tv news.
I get to read so many varied thoughts and opinions , also. Its fun. The key is to never take it all seriously...I just have fun with it.

VR, the opium of the web. Yes, you can get addicted to VR, but, is a good addiction. Many people come and go, but the true members, those stay. From friendship to discussion on the thread, everything is done to create a harmony of a new community within the site. For me, have been over 3 years. I meet many good and excellent people, specially, the creator of this thread. We go way back. I love VR because give me a sense of peace after a hard day at work. I always tell my friends here, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. And they always ask. LOL

True, it is a good addiction. It always drags you back, ppl cannot seem to pull them selves away from it.

It is about the friends you make. They do become a part of your family. In a Coven you become a family and majority of the time a very close family. Yes there are other ways to meet ppl on the web but VR is different in so many ways. It isnt just a chat room, which is something I love about VR.

Awe Thanks Markus .. yes we are very close friends and were family because of VR..(hugs)

also yes I its also a great place to learn coding ..html..

im not really good at it but there are otheres here who are amazing..

Ive been here a little over 3 years but i took a short absence last june and things had changed even in this short amount of time.. Cancer and the admin.. is a work in progress always up grading us..:)

Thanks cancer~

My friends on here are just wonderful. I also love that a group of people can share their thoughts and ideas in the forum and their journal.

I also like the fact that no matter what religion one believes in.....we accept each other for the person and not base it on their beliefs.

More great reasons im sure we all agree and share

It allows for people to meet people and find others like them, like facebook but only better. Since people here are not quite what society labels as normal. And we here are quite content with the kindness they think we are incapable of.

VR is SO IMPORTANT to me because...

It gives people who are different and who have their own individuality that gets rejected from the world... come to a place to network and find support! And not only that... But to express themselves from what or who they really is!!!

Honestly, I think that Vampire Rave is one of the only good communities on the internet. Everywhere else, there's people always starting drama, attacking others, or just being down right a**f**ks, and I'm sick of it. There has not been one person I have met on Vampire Rave that I haven't gotten along with. I haven't seen this closeness with one another of MySpace or the people on Facebook (which I refuse to even make an account), we here actually care for one another. The friends made on Vampire Rave are true friends. Tho I may be new at the moment, I use to have an account back when Vampire Rave was first started (was deleted for unwanted reasons), and I never felt so welcome in my life. I made such good friends, and had extremely open-minded conversations, and had NEVER had a day where I didn't even want to log on because of drama. Vampire Rave is a blessing, and I believe we all can't thank Cancer enough for creating this site. He brought a special group of people together, from all around the world, into one great family. I have brought my fiancee to join this site, and she has felt the warmest welcoming she has ever felt before. To me, you are all my Brothers and Sisters. Danka to all of you, and danka to Cancer for bringing us all together.

I love VR... its very addicting. When I was on here over a year ago I had a blast and made a few good friends. Then I left because a couple of rotten apples ruined it for me. But I decided to come back and give it another chance and I got to say the place has changed alot... some of it better, some of it not.

From: Guidacarta Di Nerezza

As many know, I have been here within VR for a number of years, as many have as well. (Just some of us don't age like the others *grin*)

We've seen changes come and go. The same can be said of the real names and faces behind the profiles.

After reading some of the reply post by those I can honestly say are either Friend, Peer (in sight use only, respectfully) or people I've come to know and respect through their posts, journals or articals...I can say the reason I have stayed around is because of the changes.

The forum used to have a different feel, yes. I can honestly agree with that. But so to has the sight over all. The crew (Cancer and company) do a lot to make the network a modern electronic family of sorts and it (VR) does have its "place" for a number of reasons. Hopefully, one of them is still to "learn" about the many diversities of the culture the sight itself bares name to.

The personal meetings (which have happened more than once for certain), chats and emails from those old and new still have meaning because the simple fact is, there are people behind the screen-names. That to me is the best part of VR...the people within it.



Guidacarta

VR is definatly special. I have met soo many good people on here. I also met my husband on here.{3.5 yrs} also it's great beacause I have gone through phases wher I logged on maybe once a week and where I log on multiple times a day. There are always people who share your outlook and are not jusgemental.
I think this is not just a site, but a community.
way to go Cancer!

VR was a useful way to spend my time a few years back when I was hurt and out of work. Now I can rarely find time to sign in. But when I do have time it is good to know it is here waiting for me.

I love VR it is a place to be me

It is a place where I have made some cracking friends in the short time I have been on here

I have even got close to one or two

I love the fact that I can meet people like me from all around the world something that without the power of the internet would have never been possible before.

VR is an extension to my life, it is a part of it

Hmmm... I love VR... I've been obsessed from the moment my friend signed me up and then forced me to log on. Haha... It's a wonderful place to meet people of like mind. Though I admit, I've had my fair share of the drama on here and I don't claim to not be at the fault of it... Even so... After I thought I was going to leave, I came back and I love it more than ever. I've made at least two very close friends on here, both of which I intend to move in with in the future. *smiles* There have been times that seeing VR made me want to puke, and others that it's the only thing that kept me going because of the kind people here... As said by the post above, it is a part of my life.

My first introduction to VR was the hangman game which I fell in love with and so joined to get to play. I had recently left work to care for my ill mother and quickly discovered my brain was rotting with nothing but tv all day long.

Lucky for me while I waited to get in a society to get to play the games I discovered dozens of interesting people to talk to and my mind began to function again. Stabb was one of the first to challenge me to stretch my thoughts and actually debate with me over my ideals.

The forum was always fun to read just to see how other folks thought and while it is different now that doesn't make it worse than before since many of the people that posted back when it began have moved on and a new group get to express their ideals.

I have discovered some wonderful poets and writers on this site and most generously share their works freely for us all to enjoy. I enjoy the challenge of finding something new and different relating to our beloved topic and adding it to the database.

This site offers so much more than any other I've run across such as community, acceptance, intelligence, humor, games (even if not for favor) challenges and friendships, all one has to do is reach out an grab it.

ive found that the smaller sites like VR people are more talkative, thast what it means to me, and i missed friendsd from the first time i was on here so i came back, now that the people that were upsetting me at the time are gone, probably for good.

ive met some interesting people here who i would never have been in contact with otherwise.

i luv VR made some cool friends met alot of interesting poeple would leave for nothing ( unless some one offered me a million dollors lol sorry Cancer ) but its great here glad it is around

...it's the community and the socializing
for me...it's just very nice to say whatever
and know that people are not going to
freak like i just said i like to eat raw baby
seals for breakfast, you know?...
^.^

i enjoy watching the drama and get a laugh out of the journals sometimes i think me and vr it's a kind of hate and love relationship so to speak,i hate it sometimes and other times i love it.
vr for me is a getaway from reality sometimes,it's basically a leisure of entertainment that i've learned to relax with.

i really believe it is like an extended family. And being close to ppl from all over the world and having that sense of belonging.

definitely that belonging to a family and being able to have fun and leave all the stress and worries of the real world behind for a while.

VR means alot to me because so many people are willing to share and teach me things here.
Things we all want to know and learn of , so I am very thankful to them for sharing so much with me and helping me change the course of my life.

When I signed up I didnt really know what all to do but now I understand alot of it. And I love being in my coven and with my coven sisters they are amazing and helpful and fun to talk to. I always try to get on when I can though. I cant always be hooked up on it. But I work on getting on everyday at least.

I love VR. I was here before, but wasn't able to get on and then crap happened..but none the less I'm back and the friends that I have made are great. We can actually have conversations unlike most of my friends off VR have.
My fiancee doesn't really grasp what VR means to me or the friends that I have made. And this upsets me, because VR is a great thing in my life...lol my friends continually jock around and say how I am addicted to VR, although this may be true it keeps my mind open and allows me to associate with people of different beliefs and cultures. I have fun and make friends. I do not have a job yet, and I know that I will in the future and that I may not be on as much as I am now, but I will try my best to come back as many times as I can :)
As for right now I'm on just about everyday...all day lol
And my friends, mentorship and coven have had a great deal to why I stay and why I have been happy, understandingly open minded, ect.
Anyone who disses VR in my book doesn't full know/understand its soul pupose and experiences. VR is about expressing yourself (wheather it be goth, vamp, ect), making great friends, taking your mind off of your daily negitive people, and just keeping busy and having fun :)

Thank you VR for being here for me!

I must say I love VR. If it wasn't for me looking over Loki's shoulder every time he was on. I dont think I would have ever signed up.

I have made some amazing friends. Not to mention the people that I now consider my FAMILY. Always the one that makes me extremely happy! (you know who you are)

I'm addicted to this site. You couldn't ask for better people. Be yourself completely and never be judged. Have a way of expression and meet some great people. I have left all the drama in the world of Myspace. It was boring. But now I have found a place (thanks to loki666) I cant seem to get bored of.

Huge Thanks go out to Cancer for this amazing site, and a place I can truly call my 2nd Home. :)

VR really lets me express myself!!! Love it

Not so much anymore, but Vampirerave used to be an escape for me, from the pressures and anxiety of the real world.

A good place to fiddle about-at first I was taken with the leveling up but then realized what an immature twit I was being (video game mentality-cripes!), but then I settled down and now I spend about an hour or two a week here-made lots of interesting friends!

VR... Ahh I don't know where to begin! hm...

Well, my friend first introduced me to this site, I was like "hmm pretty kool." The first day I joined, I just joined for joining sake then the next day I started levelling up and well I thought that it was extremely exciting. I would jump up and down in my chair join "omggg I'm level 15!! Only 13 more to go until Sire!"

The people here and simply amazing =D
I've make so many new friends it's super, kinda awesome knowing lots of people from around the world.

VR is just so damn addictive!
I was so hooked I even started DREAMING Vr... Seriously!
I got scared when I woke up... I was like... Hmm... Did I really send that message? then I checked and realise I just dreamt it. XD

*sigh* A wonderful place to be.

lol yeah this site is really addictive lol ive been on it all day


i think i need a life lol

How can put words to describe the benefits of VR, From socializing to people who act and treat you like you are not a menace to society, knowledge from different cultures and ideas that flow. great site.

I love VR!!!!!! I finally found a site that has people who are fans of vampires!! I am glad my friend told me about this site.

I like Vr because it feels like home. There are so many interesting people here. At first I thought it would be like any other website, but got addicted quick,lol.
It is just my kind of place.

I like it here because there are a lot of people that i can relate to & have meaningful conversations with as well.
I have made quite a few good friends on here that i hope i can finally meet 1 day if the time is right. They know who they are :)

VR is so much fun. Talking ,laughing and sometimes learning to. So thanks for the memories. : )

VR means alot to me and the friends I have mean a great deal to me I have made alot of friends who i would do anything in my power for.I can be who I am here the real me and thats what I give people the real me. It's like an escape from my daily life with out VR i'd be who knows losing my mind hehe

When ya feel like you're all alone, just hop on VR! Thats what I do. There is always a friend here to talk to!

There are many like-minded people here. That makes me really happy.

i am still learning about this site for second time around but so far i have met some interesting people who i am calling my new friends and they mean something to me around.
i love having an site where i can be myself which is Wiccan,gypsy,vampire and crazy and not be judged for it. It is a breath of fresh air and helps me feel good and cheer up on an bad day.
thank you to all who have talked to me and become my friends and to the ones who made this site
bb

VR was just another site that had things to offer that were interesting to me. after sticking around for a bit, I met people and made new friends that have actually impacted my real life in a very true and possitive manner.
You know who you are.

Thank you.

Lol emo demon I had a dream one time about VR but it was someone stalking me.. 0.0

VR brings like-minded people so that they can all become friends and develop a strong bond among vampire lovers.

I love talking to people and this site allows me to express myself without being judged.
I still get excited about leveling up although I liked the old system better. I only had three levels to go to sire... then it changed and I had 30 levels to go. *sighs*
I'm almost there though.... almost to 94 then 6 left!!! :D

VR to is the place i have been looking for fnow for a while i had alot of trouble finding the place i would find understanding . the world around me just did not have anything for me i was alone and lost i stumble here when looking for the haunted island of povela in italy .this popped up and i looked because this is me . and i found my world finaally and people just like me . finally i feel at home . i also met someone here that i was looking for and was unable to find . it completed me now . that why vr means all to me

Because I can be MYSELF without fear of ridicule or being laughed at. Most people, you tell them you're a sanguine vamp and they laugh at you. Not here :) I live on VR and I don't know where I'd be without every single one of you. Especially you Razr...my mentor...he's a great guy!

VR means a lot to all of us I am sure. For me it is like a home from home. I am enjoying myself here and making many new friends. I am comfortable here....no worries about being judged.... This is a great place

I am thankful for VR. It is a great place to meet new friends. I really like being able to be friends with people all over the world.

I have more friends on here than I do in real life

i have my vampire family here on VR. VR is the one place that i consider home

Oh VR let me count the ways I love you. VR loves me, VR loves me not, oh boy VR loves me!

This site, these people, this life- it is all what you make of it. Some friendly handles have charmed my knee-high boots off me here and so I visit when I can.

Plus the status system and the climbing allows for some fun nerdy graphs and projects. Please highlight "nerd" in the last sentence. It is superfragilistic fun to look at the break down of stats and track them.

it is a place for me to meet others like myself and to meet new friends. i get to be myself on here and am so thankful that my friend showed me this site

Oh my goodness from where should I start! I barely remember how I got introduced to this website but I do remember taking me like 3 months to register, I knew wanted to be ready and make time for it.

Once I did I just never looked back, I have a huge history with VR & would simply take to much to put everything in here, but in one sentence it did have a major impact in my life, much bigger then I've ever expected it to be & I can't express how grateful I am this community is on in the first place, no matter the ups & downs, the adventures, this has always been & will be my home, my family.

I hold it so dear that I even took breaks & come back to it because I know there's always something to look forward to in VR & not one to want to miss anything because I'm worn out.

I so believe in this site that I even invested for a lifetime membership here, I know it's one of the best investments I've ever done in my lifetime. :)

Never want VR to go away . Its like the home with friends I enjoy

amen to that creeper
Vr all the way

There will never be a better site to be on at this time for my preferences, i enjoy being on here when things go quiet in real life, or being unable to drive with my arm in a sling, i did level quicker recently haha. I have chatted to many people here and got to level 50 or so just by rating profiles and chatting, it's been great since i joined in march 2008, a special thankyou to 2 people who told me about VR

there is always something to do

This place means the world to me because everyone (for the most part) Is the most down to earth, and understanding about lifestyles and beliefs and gifts.. And I have made so many friends on here.. Not just in the U.S. but all over the world.. Im very much appreciative to Cancer for what he has made that has given to soooo many..

true best way to make friends all aroundthe world is on VR.

I lurvvveeee VR!
There's truly some great people on here that i enjoy chatting to also learnt quite a bit to do with coding and things from constructing profile which wouldn't know if wasn't on here, love to read all the interesting journal entries and also sit back and watch all the feuding, blocking and bitching!!lol

in the past VR has been a place of refuge, advice, shoulder to cry on, and a good place to vent.
Now, not so much.. thinking about letting VR sleep for a while. one thing is for sure though, I never quite get away from this place, I keep comming back, wether I mean to or not :)

Just as I have posted before, if VR had apps like myspace and facebook, it could dominate both of them.. Literally!

VR has always been addictive. You can try and slip away quietly but you cant help yourself you have to come back

I love VR! Cancer created one of the best sites by far that I have come across. It is a one of a kind place unlike all other social networking sites. There is always something to do here. I have met many wonderful people along the way. Yes, I have encountered my fair share of drama, but that is part of life, and I have just accepted it. When I am not on VR for a period of time, I wonder what is happening and what I have missed. I cannot stay away for long for sure. :)

I am so glad that there is one place on the web where I can truly express myself and be me with so many others who are no different than I am.
