PV has been around since the late 1990s, very soon after the Internet was released to the public.
Yes it is stuck in a 1990s timewarp when raves were supposedly a bit “fluffier”, (albeit with more advanced software these days) but thats how we like it :groucho:

And who cares anyway, if two people have differences then they should sort them out – if they can’t do it responsibly then they should fight like the children they are.
you’re lucky enough to live in East Anglia where there hasn’t (yet) been too much of a problem with this.
The problem isn’t so much that people fight – boys especially will always fight – but that now they are prepared to do this in the middle of a party rather than just in their own “ends”.
if parties and the party scene becomes places for people “settling scores” (as they have already done in London/SE England) the Police can claim every moral right to clamp down on them- they can argue that they are a source of serious violent crime.
Forces in areas where there is more of a “street culture” of fighting already use this as a one reason for shutting down events.
A party where people have all done K and other drugs is also unfortunately a perfect place for a “one punch death”, where a minor fight becomes fatal as one of the fighters cracks their skull on the ground or a hard surface – plus its clear from “stella head” that its not uncommon for people to bring weapons such as cricket bats to raves these days.The days of fighting with “Queensbury rules” disappeared in the 1950s with the Teddy Boys..
And even if all of you think the two idiots who are fighting are equally bad and deserve one another, think of this –
All it takes is for a single drop of claret to go on a speaker or other piece of equipment during a fight where someone is hurt or killed, the Police can seize the lot as “evidence from a crime scene” and keep it for as “long as needed” to do their forensic work. This actually happened to a crew from SE England when someone got stabbed in front of their stack.
