There's a new link in the User Menu. If you are in a VR Society, there is a quick link to your House/Coven.
If you're not in a VR Society, you won't see the link. |
I've restored two of the former Vampire Rave favor games: Hangman and Scramble. A new link to VR games can be found in the Main Menu under Members.
Favor is no longer awarded for playing games. All Vampire Rave members can now play the games.
I have cleared all the existing leader boards.
I will restore more games as time permits. |
Today there was a partial drive failure on the drive that stores Vampire Rave messages. The data was being mirrored and the error propagated throughout the mirror.
Messages that were lost cannot be recovered. Not all members were affected. At this point, it looks like about 1/3 or Vampire Rave members lost their messages.
I will be rewriting the Message Center this weekend. I will apply an additional backup layer beyond mirroring that will help prevent this problem from reoccurring in the future.
You may get some intermittent errors when trying to message certain people. These errors will vanish once these people log into Vampire Rave. One of the self-maintenance programs I wrote a while back rebuilds a members account (in this case message box) if anything is wrong with it when they log in.
No aspect of VR was affected except for messages.
The messages that were lost cannot be restored. As I've already stated, I'll be working throughout the weekend to improve the system and prevent this from happening again in the future. |
There's a new VR feature that allows you to quickly skip to your profile page. It works when you type your Vampire Rave member name in front of .vampirerave.com.
For example, try: cancer.vampirerave.com
It's an easy way to give the address of your Profile page to your friends.

| The position of Regent has officially launched. Jason, Deity, and Sevenn are the first Regents. Sabastion has taken over Jason's House. ToiletDuc has taken over Deity's. |
Vampire Rave has partnered with Alexa. If you download a special Alexa tool bar, a Vampire Rave logo is included. Clicking the VR logo in the tool bar brings you straight to Vampire Rave.
Downloading the tool bar helps support Vampire Rave. It's a free download and available here. |
The Acolyte Test has been posted. All previous Acolytes were removed. If you are interested in becoming an Acolyte you must be at least level 18 and take and pass the test.
Full details are here. |
| The Portfolio section has been rewritten and reposted. I think you'll find the new interface quicker and much better than the old. |
Message transfer is going to take longer than originally projected. It is moving very slowing. After more than 12 hours, a little less than 20% of VR members have had their messages moved over.
Be patient. They'll make their way over eventually. |
We're up online with the new server. As of right now, VR messages are still coming over from the old server. This may take a very long time (12 hours or more), so don't panic. Your VR messages will eventually make their way here.
As previously mentioned, Portfolios are now offline. I hope to have the section re-written and back up by mid-week.
I expect there to be a few glitches over the next few days. Let me know of ANY unusual activity. |
