think sj is more about parties and pv is more bout general chat and that
TBH both sites have had to calm down a lot about what party info is posted due to the feds. We have to be careful on PV, as this site has been around nearly 10 years so the cops have always monitored the public forums since the start.
there’s quite a few threads about parties here, but we do discourage bitching and politics between crews as it leads to a lot of bait being posted. if this happens, often one crew gets slagged off – their members defend themselves, or they brag about what rigs have what kit – and its way easy to find out who is who just by checking other posts from users.
I personally knew about a lot of the rig politics in East Anglia for years and I only moved here in 2006 – it actually made me wary about getting involved a bit until I met a load of good people from my new town who run a crew which seems to rise above the politics (interesting how your county going on lockdown forces people to have a bit of real solidarity..)
Everyone gets paranoid over feds posting “newbie” posts, when in fact all cops have to do is just lurk on a message board and look at a few threads where people argue about a recent party – its also remarkable how much other personal info people give away in their profiles, particularly when they lead to myspaces.
OK for a normal raver there isn’t much of a problem but for a rig owner thats bait IMO..
people in my old area (thames Valley/SE England) have even got in Court and ASBOs because of loose talk on forums.
remember as fun as it all is, free party crews are committing an activity which takes over hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of land without permission, there is a lot of drugs sold and consumed at raves, and the cops aren’t just going to ignore all of this crime…
