real vampires (vampirism)

This group has intrigued me for a long time. I am a member (although strickly a non-posting lurker) and with all the excitement about fictional vampires and vampire chic since the advent of Twilight, I feel these guys deserve a mention. Don't mention Twilight to them, though. Few of them are fans. In threads such as 'OMG MOre Twilight crap.' and 'PHEW TWILIGHTS DYING OUT BUT NOW THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!' The members of this group (or at least some of them) consider themselves to be real vampires, and subdivide themselves into sanguinariuns (consumers of good old-fashioned blood), psiconic vampires (consumers of energy) or hybrids (a combination of the two). At least some of them, consider themselves to be something other than human. Threads on the discussion board include 'HALLOWEEN MEET-UP 2010', 'head count...', 'is being a vampire a curse or a privilage to you?', 'the other me.', 'diabolical plans...', 'Non US-people in group?', 'blood dreams', 'Hereditary vampirism' and many more.

What's great about this group: Take a glimpse into one corner of counter-culture.

Update (25 October 2023)
This group still exists, but it is now private. Go here to request access.

Butterfly

I'm in one of my looking-at-pretty-pictures moods again and this group has plenty of them. Over a thousand strangely exotic butterflies - not to mention a few caterpillars in between - are featured in images in the gallery. In case you wanted to know more about the anatomy of butterflies, read the information section.

What's great about this group: see butterflies from around the world.

Time Travel

Time is relative and should always be seen as a gift. When the muse speaks and we are functioning at our creative peak, it feels as if its flying faster than the speed of light. When we are waiting for something, it sometimes feels like forever. The solution? When the hours are slowing down, just take out a notebook and start sketching or writing or creating some music and dwell in eternity. Or alternatively, put your mind in a real twist by reflecting on the possibility or impossibility of time travel. Threads on the discussion board include 'Evidence of Time Travel has been Found', 'If time travel was possible, where (when) would you go?', 'Time Doesn't Exist', 'Is time travel really possible?', 'What exactly is Time?', 'Where are the time travelers?', 'TV SERIES' and 'let's share with us movies about time travel...'

What's great about this group: let your imagination go wild with possibilities.

GUESS WHERE AM FROM ??

How good are you at stereotyping people? The main action of this group is to check out the gallery, pick an image and see if you could guess the nationality of its subject. Or alternatively, to upload your own photo and see if anyone can guess what you are. There aren't many threads on the discussion board, but topics covered include 'What Country or Countries Produce the Sexiest People?', 'guess da nationality of da person above ya ^' and 'Blonde Or Brunettes'.

What's great about this group: Lots of people-watching.

Anime Lovers

Check this group out, if anime is your thing. The information section provides a fairly long list of recommended anime shows. Threads on the discussion board include 'who is your favorite anime character?', 'Is Anime the only thing you think about???', 'What are some good, free anime sites online?', 'Whats Your Top Ten Favorite Anime?' and 'the worst anime that u ever watched (top 10)'. There are 75 links to video clips as well as links to other resources. There are over 800 images in the gallery, much of it, fan art.

What's great about this group: share your appreciation for anime here.

Update (26 October 2023)
There are several groups called either Anime Lover or Anime Lovers. It's difficult to see whether any of them are linked to the one profiled here.
