I'm pretty nostalgic about vampire freaks, even though, honestly, we mostly used to be trouble makers and trolls on it. But omg looking at the site on the way back machine is so gross? Like it had a literal porn site linked right on the side bar of every page, and an overwhelming amount of users at the time were younger teens. Looking back on goth stuff in that era, there was such a huge emphasis on fetish stuff and sex and it was just... part of it?? Like we used this silly hot topic goth "hot or not" to make friends on the splash page of a porn site slash fetish wear site and we were like 15, wtf??? Anyways, I thought it would be fun to steal some bad jpegs off the old vampire freaks archived site, but now I'm just kind of sad lol.
