Topic: As the nature of the internet and its integration into society shifts, so do our online community platforms. There has been an increase in the use of social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter while there has been a noticeable decline in the use of platforms like elists, Yahoo groups, and discussion forums. 1.) How do you see this impacting our community? Does this make us more or less accessible to those seeking the community? Do these platforms make it more or less difficult to find other branches of the community for those already part of the community? What social media sites do you use to connect with other self-identified vampires? 2.) How do you see the changes to the online community impacting and/or being impacted by the offline community? Are formerly offline communities starting to use online platforms with more frequency? Are formerly online communities starting to interact more offline?

If you have the ability to install or use an IRC client (a program used to connect to an IRC server) to access the discussion, please do so. If you don't have an irc client already installed on your machine, two popular clients are mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/) and xchat (http://www.xchat.org/ or http://www.silverex.org/news/).

If you do not have the ability to access IRC another way, you can access the discussion by going to http://tiny.cc/vampirevoices and entering your desired Username, then clicking "Connect". Please be aware that Dalnet limits the number of people who can connect via the browser-based chat, so if you have another option for connecting, we strongly encourage you to not use the browser-based system.

For anyone who has an IRC Client, use irc.dal.net or another dalnet server (http://www.dal.net/servers/) and join #vampirevoices

Please help spread the word to all those you know in the vampire community. The channel (#vampirevoices) is always open so feel free to drop by anytime you wish. We hope to see everyone there!
