Hey so I'm currently in Germany attending Wave Gotik Treffen, promoting vampirefreaks and seeing some great band performances. It's a pretty crazy event, with approximately 20,000 goths coming every year. We'll get some pics / review up when we get back.
I want to wish all the VF moms a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! *hugs*
The VF language translation is going well, we should have a few versions of VF in different languages very soon.
Kinetik Festival in Montreal is in a few days!
May 15th - 17th
Kinetik Festival - Montreal, Canada
Featuring Live Performances by:
Funker Vogt, Nitzer Ebb, Noisuf-X, Terrorfakt, Feindflug + Much more!
Click here for more info
Wednesday, May 28th - we have a special performance by
Destroid and Haujobb in NYC!
Music from the legendary Daniel Myer. Haujobb is an amazing influential industrial band, shaping our scene in the early 90's, and Destroid is Daniel Myer's new project which kicks ass. I saw them play here in Germany the other day and they packed the house and tore that shit up! Destroid is definitely a band to check out.
Event is 18+. Check flyer for full details:

translators wanted
| * April 26, 2008 *
|
|
things have been a bit quiet here over the past couple months, mainly cuz we've been working on a few cool new additions, including multi-language support. we do already have a few translators, but need a few more members who are bi-lingual / fluent in more than one language, and willing to help us translate vf. we have many members from all countries, and strive to bring more of us together by allowing other languages on here and we can perhaps learn from eachother.
if you are fluent in english and another language please send me an inbox stating which language(s) you are fluent in, and some info about yourself. thanks!
in other news, i just got back from a conference in chicago regarding database optimization and growth, so we have a few really cool new plans to keep the site running fast and optimized.
