😀 – I always seem to look shifty or moody in party pics though – (yes, there are some of me on certain sites much as I try to avoid them ….)

going back to GL’s original post, HELLO!!! Yes, it’s my first post. I have had the audacity to post on ‘squatjuice’ before now and got the usual response – fuking crap thread M8, wot u doin postin ere if u the OB blah blah. [/quote]

when will people realise the cops have cameras everywhere, a very sophisticated digital comms system and plenty of locals who will tell them where parties are; they don’t need to do low-level “undercover” work!

Made a donation today as I like partyvibe, it’s for the more mature student of rave as opposed to the chav bashing under 16s.

Thanks – every bit helps. PV isn’t just this board but loads of other hosted stuff – check the “site map” for an idea of what else is there..

To be fair I don’t think age is really an issue. A lot of the people who start conflict on message boards are old enough to know better, and there are a fair number of younger people on partyvibe as well – I see lots of logins from colleges, sixth forms, even high schools… TBH I wish they would speak up a bit as they are going to be the future of the party community!

When I was a young’un of 23 I dreamed about goin’ to those Castle morton raves, but didn’t get there. In my 32nd year (2004) I finally made it to a rave, albeit now called a squat party. Hoorah and hallelujah!!!

were you studying in the meantime (I noticed you put “accountant” in your profile and happen to work with loads so am aware how many years it takes…)

OK, so it’s not like the good old days, the rugs are crap, the scene’s dying etc. BUT! better than no scene at all. Plus I reckon it’s what you make it.

I’m not sure even if the rugs are that crap ; maybe less content for some but even so availability is greater – perhaps what is wrong is the set and setting nowadays.

There is no shortage of parties; the only problem is that the “townie” mentality of looking for a fuck and/or a fight at these events has crept across to an extent (although of course no way as bad as your local theme pub). OTOH the good old days weren’t that good (and I was there)!

There was still violence at events; rugs were expensive and fakes common.There are lots of things that happened in the “old skool” days I am not proud of or happy about – and sometimes I wonder “how the fuck did I manage to survive, stay out of prison and in employment?” (lots of people I know weren’t so lucky)

Everyone was more naïve and often seriously overdid things because they didn’t have info sources like this to warn them off; some paid with their minds, others with their lives. The NHS and peoples families are still picking up the pieces today – in other cases people got into ill-advised friendships and relationships which seemed like a good idea when people were constantly high but ended in tears.

Nowadays there are resources like this board, Bluelight, Erowid and others to get people “back on the right track” even if they have minor problems – and of course to share the memories of good times to get you through the comedowns..

Just about to start the long road to professional qualifications, a career I fell into unintentionally. Took my first e on my 26th birthday (always a late starter!), never looked back. Thankfully managed exams + clubbing ok but wasn’t a happy period.

Good luck with this; I’ve always been amazed at the high standard of education (and knowledge) amongst ravers (I don’t just mean exames either – a lot of knowledge comes from the street)…

I did say don’t be shy – & welcome to partyvibe…. but it does seem odd to put your mobile number up as your first post 🙂 I have PM’d the lady concerned but not yet had any response.. but in the interests of safety and given that it looks more like a PM which went accidentally went to the main board that number has been removed.

Please be careful……
