Over the years it has grown to be a large social network, with millions of members.[2] Website features include user groups which are called 'cults' and allow users to create their own communities within the website. The website also has event pages, music interviews, models, and frequent design contests. It's also a popular message-board which is a major component of the site's success. The site’s main topic of focus, aside from socializing, is the music content users create. Vampire Freaks hosts its own digital music store as well. Jet regularly updates the site with information concerning not only bands, but various alternative events. Many people have found love on the site, and this has been focused on during Valentine's Day, where couples that met through the site submitted stories of how they met their matches.[3] "Premium Memberships" are also offered (for a fee), these feature the ability to upload more pictures, see who views the user's profile, and "powerbomb" the "unwanted" VF members. Clothing StoreVampireFreaks hosts an alternative online store that sells goth and alternative clothing.[4] VampireFreaks had a clothing store, named after the site, located in New York City. The store sold similar products to the current website, and was also a social gathering place. The store closed in 2011 after being open for over three years. EventsVampireFreaks hosts a wide number of events, mainly in the New York City area. Information of these events can be found on the website. Some of the most infamous of these events would be 'Cybertron', a gothic-industrial clubnight in NYC, and the 'Triton Festival', a music festival that has attracted gothic-industrial bands from around the world. In addition VampireFreaks hosts the dark-alternative convention 'Dark Side Of The Con', which is a 3-day dark alternative convention held in New Jersey. [5] [6]ControversyVampireFreaks, much like other social network sites MySpace and Facebook, has been potentially linked to several crimes:
Jet has responded to some of this controversy, saying that the website does not influence its users to commit crimes and that "The goth scene is a very friendly, nurturing, non-violent community and we are very supportive of our users and do not condone any illegal activities" [13][14] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://vampirefreaks.com/history_of_vf.php |title=History Of |publisher=Vampirefreaks.com |date=2008-10-25 |accessdate=2010-10-13}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://vampirefreaks.com/history_of_vf.php |title=History Of |publisher=Vampirefreaks.com}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://vampirefreaks.com/forum/comment.php?entry=535835 |title=Gothic Industrial Culture |publisher=VampireFreaks.com |date= |accessdate=2010-10-13}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://store.vampirefreaks.com | title=VampireFreaks Clothing Store|publisher = VampireFreaks.com}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://tritonfestival.com | title=VampireFreaks Triton Festival}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://darksideofthecon.com | title=Dark Side Of the Con}} 7. ^Hate-Filled VampireFreaks website linked to several crimes, from The Vancouver Sun 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060914/vampire_freaks_060914/20060914?hub=CTVNewsAt11|title=VampireFreaks.com users say site breeds love] from [[CTV.ca]|author=|date=|publisher=|accessdate=23 August 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www2.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=765b7ad8-e00a-49a1-9d72-d3d35e5c2627 |title=Hate-Filled VampireFreaks website linked to several crimes |publisher=.canada.com |date=2006-09-15 |accessdate=2010-10-13}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080624013434/http://www.txcn.com/sharedcontent/dws/txcn/houston/stories/khou070607_mh_vampirefreaks.255f6fff.html|title=Police: Vampire freaks site leads to sex assault - Houston - Texas News - Texas Cable News - TXCN.com - News for Texas|author=|date=24 June 2008|publisher=|accessdate=23 August 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/01/21/2798264.htm |title=Man found guilty of murdering Carly Ryan - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) |publisher=Abc.net.au |date= |accessdate=2010-10-13}} 12. ^{{cite web|author=R.
