Database reload I accidentally deleted a few notable threads while doing some moderation today and ended up having to reload a copy of our database from 16 hours before which will mean a small amount of lost activity. Sorry all.

Think before you type! Found this on one of Party Vibes other forums.
The message can't be said often enough.

Its always been a stupid idea to post your personal details on a publicly viewable forum, but nowadays with the increase of social networking sites, such as myspace; Bebo and Facebook, people seem to be forgetting this. These innocent pieces of information wriitten in blogs or even messages can lead to horrible incidents such as this, a case which could have been far worse if they had not been discussing their school trip and had been arranging a meeting in a more secluded place.
Although its not even just the sick net pervs you have to worry about now. The increase in use of social networking sites by gangs has also resulted in a greater level of monitoring by the authorities. Before it was difficult to trace exactly who was posting due to pseudonyms and the red tape required to trace an i.p beyond the general area, so follow ups for minor crimes were uncommon. Nowadays people use the same pseudonym across various platforms and the same emails to register to different forums. You may not be posting pictures of yourself on one platform but a quick google search can link the lot. For example throw my username into the search engine and you have a link to all the forums I am on under this name (I don't have a myspace), anyone could link any of my posts from any of these forums to create a fuller picture. Even more foolish are the people who put all there eggs in one basket like this chump, poisting your own face next to an admission that you are growing dope is ludicrous. I'm getting a bit muddled up but basically you ain't invincible and if I can find pictures of your face and link you to your account on here then the police sure as hell can to so be careful what you admit to. No crime is too small when you've given them directions to your house.
Finally you would think that aside from paedo's, perevrts, police and other haters your safe. If you think carefully and don't start posting pictures of massive piles of drugs or your scantiliy clad younger sister, sticking to what you did at the weekend etc, you would think you are safe. Well I'm afraid not, just posting about your fun time at a legal club could wind up with you losing out on a job. Facebook etc have become the latest stage in the interview process with employers often using them to sift through applicants to find out what goes on at home. Even schools and colleges have begun to make sure students are behaving in their extra curricular activities. If you give this article a read you'll find out a bit about how much it really matters. Nowadays the workplace is innundated with people with the skills required and employers have recognised this and are beginning to take more and more control over what you do outside work, with drugs tests and the like, so don't make the mistake of filling the internet with sordid stories of your weekends if your wanting to work your way up the economic ladder.
I'm not telling you to stop posting on here, quite the opposite I think that social networking are there for a purpose and forums serve another. Its great to keep up with old friends and find new ones over the internet and thats what networking sites were designed for but when you live our type of lifestyle on the fringes of legality keep it anonymous and between friends......like here.
Stay safe! :you_smart

A new chat room So I've added a new chat room to our forum home page. Things worth knowing about it are...
1. You will need to have Member status or above to use this feature.
2. You can start *private* chats with other members by searching against their name in the drop down at the bottom left.
3. Subscribers can create and manage their own chat room.
Given that Party Vibe will be using HTTPS encryption soon, all your communications including the chat room will be a lot more private. More on this topic soon...
Enjoy!
Anonymous Posting for guests Over the weekend I enabled this feature where it's now possible to post without having an account. The same rules of good behavior apply and all content submitted anonymously is human moderated of course. And it goes without saying guest user functionality remains very limited compared to a full member.
Enjoy!

Fixed: Notices taking new users to welcome threads in the wrong forum I've just fixed a bug which was causing new users to be redirected to the introduction and help threads on Party Vibe Radio incorrectly. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused, this was a nasty one. Not what you want when you're trying to be welcoming.
FIXED: mystery canonical URL redirection issue i'm pleased to say that I've finally located and fixed the mystery bug where people trying to access any our sites without using the "www" canonical prefix such as partyvibe.org instead of www.partyvibe.org would be taken to www.partyvibe.com incorrectly. Thanks for your patience everyone.
