Read 2,731 timesPathofthewerewolf If it's not too personal of a subject I'm curious about what inititally drew people to this site. I'll start off with my own reason of course. My first time joining I was simply googling, believe it or not, necromancy and it's origins and by some freak chance this site came up and I saw a potential for a wealth of information and friends who would be understanding of my tastes which are considered odd by others. If you'd rather not discuss that I would love to hear what type of vampire in media or folklore has the most appeal to you or even both!

Read 2,728 timesMrsBlackwood I was searching for like a master post related to Vampires on Goggle, which happened to suggest me this site. Glad to have discovered it. Alot of what I'm into is also considered odd as well, but normal here amongst the site. • REPLY •

Read 2,717 timesmarkus666 For many, "Vampirism" is a mith, for some is a way of living around the Humans. There are places, that you only can imagine and for sure, you will not find in your typical neighborhood. I am not talking about those Vampires portrayed on Books or Hollywood movies, I am talking about those who follow a code of silence, for the protection of the clan. One of this place is in Argentina, which I did visited back in 1974. Was amazing and meet many good people. My two cents to the subject. Being in VR for sometimes and is a cool place, so far. • REPLY •

Read 2,712 timesDocHanTer I came here seeking fresh blood. The donor pool I am familiar with has dwindled as of late, and I figured this would be a good place to dive into a new one. Of course, there are other reasons I remain here. For one, it is nice interacting with fellows who share my particularly refined palate. For another, it seems my specific skills have found use among some users I've become acquainted with. • REPLY •

Read 2,701 timesTigerMoon In all honesty, I came to this site with a bountiful knowledge of vampires and vampire-slayers found in the media. At that point in time, I was experiencing the first inklings of depression and was always feeling lethargic. It was only later on, after a while of staying on this site, did I realise that I ACTUALLY was an energy vampire. So yeah... as they say, the rest is history. :) • REPLY •

Read 2,642 timesAmalga9 I was looking for a legitimate online vamp community that would accept me as I am and this site claimed to be for and loved by real vampires. The claim was deceptive as the majority of the posters do not seem to be vampires/vampyres but merely fans/students of the subject. A shame, really.
Currently, my favorite media vampire type is a tie between those from Vampire Acadamy and those from Vampire Knight. I enjoy comparing and studying the 2 types. They are satisfyingly meshable.
Currently, my favorite folkloric vampire is the Varcolaci. • REPLY •

Read 2,639 timesAchlys I'm pretty sure I found this site through searching for "gothic" social networks. I think there was a different one that popped up under the Dark Network first, but then I found this one through that site. I liked this one better.
Vampirerave is still surprisingly pretty active so that's great. I took a hiatus for a while and lost touch with the site due to personal reasons. I've tried other sites like Vampirefreaks since having more time for SM and that site's pretty much dead aside from the forum maybe and a few groups. • REPLY •

Everything I'm into seems to be represented here...it feels nice not to be on the outside of "normal" for once. Everyone here has been very kind to me thus far. • REPLY •

Read 2,540 timesthecrucible When there is a lack of blood, some vampires struggle to remain in tact. I’ve found, somehow, the forums and vampire community involvement creates awareness, rather than distancing myself from my vampiric nature, or resorting to some form of denial. I live in a rural area... so websites are sometimes my only option. • REPLY •

Read 2,457 timesVictorum I joined in early April of 2006 (on my main account), so we're going on 13 years now. What actually brought me here was a random message from someone I didn't know on AIM telling me that they thought I would enjoy this site. I can't say they were wrong. After a few minutes of looking around, I was a member, and I haven't once regretted that decision. I have a deep fascination for vampire mythology and lore, so really, it was only natural that I stick around. • REPLY •

I am a gamer and was also interested in online communities and after taking a peak at the forum I knew this was a place for me.

Well in a dark place in my life, I wanted to feel a part of something. I yearned for others who could understand me. So I was googling vampire sites. Since Yahoo was no longer by the time I made my first account here. Pure luck, I guess. Or maybe it was fate, if one believes in that. Whatever it was...I found something here that I was lacking. • REPLY •

Read 537 timesvormel Thank you for bringing this topic to the Forum. I think it is important to discuss vampires over and over again as, in essence, that is what has brought us together on this site.
In my case, it was gothic literature in general, and vampire novels in particular, that drew me to this site. I must say that my mother tongue is Spanish, so this website is complex for me and I consider that I do not understand a significant percentage of what is expressed in it. As far as I know, there is no website in Spain that gathers vampires or people interested in vampirism. At least, a serious web.
On the other hand, I think that this web hooks by the system of progress and punctuation. The level system is, without a doubt, a motivation to continue and participate. Thanks again for bringing up this topic. Regards. • REPLY •
