I don't know if someone posted this here, but I read an article today that explored the explosion of these vampire shows, films and books. They came to the conclusion that the reason for it is because of young girls wanting to have sex with gay men. :blink: Now does that make any sense whatsoever?

That was my thought as well when I saw the article: http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/10/16/women-se...mpires-esquire/

"Esquire has an interesting theory about the success of Twilight, HBO?s True Blood, and The CW?s Vampire DiarieVampires have overwhelmed pop culture because young straight women want to have sex with gay menen,? Stephen Marche writes."

Wow I hate to say this.. but the music and the story in the show are winning me over. It's not as cheesy as True Blood can be at times.

Did I mention the music? and how hot is Vicky? :p

You can find the soundtrack for all the episodes so far here:

I thought the vampires in True Blood seemed gay or at the very least bisexual. I'm glad its not like that in the vampire dia(Y)s. (Y)

I was very, very tempted to watch those webclips Rappy but I have a little more self control ton:)ht. :)

That's because Alan Ball, the shows creator, is openly gay. He's trying to create a parallel with the show's vampires and how they are being excepted by country, but not by religious fanatics. It is one of the most ignorant parallels I've ever seen, but there it is, pretty clear to see.

- but that's for a different thread though :p

Wow I did not know that. I thought something was up when the vampire queen was keen for man-on-man action.

Anyway back on topic - looking forward to the next Vampire Diaries ep! :D

How could they take Vicki out so quickly?

Exclusive: The shocking story behind last night's killer 'Vampire Diaries'

SPOILER ALERT: You know the drill. If last night?s Vampire Diaries is still taking up space in your FauxVo, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward?

This sucks. My favorite Vampire Diaries character, nascent fang-bearer Vicki, bit the dust thanks to a stake-wielding Stefan in last night?s bloody good Halloween-themed episode. Or did she? In this exclusive interview, Vicki?s portrayer, Kayla Ewell, reveals shocking details surrounding her onscreen death, including the identity of the original killer (it wasn?t supposed to be Stefan!) and how a clue in last night?s eppy may foreshadowIs Vicki really dead this time?this time?

KAYLA EWELL: Sadly, yes. It?s funny because I almost died four tim

Has it been hard keeping the secret? the secret?

EWELL: Yes. It?s a relief to finally be able to talk about it. People have been coming up to me in L.A. going, ?Why aren?t you in Atlanta [working on the show]?? And I?m like, ?Oh, I?m just here visiting my family. I had a couple of days off.? I?ve had to basically lie. But The CW and Warner Bros. wanted [my death] to be a biHow long have you known that Vicki would die?ou known that Vicki would die?

EWELL: I knew very early on. But knowing it and actually going through it are two completely different things. Seven episodes is a lot of time to bond with people. Being back in L.A. has been harder than I thought it would be because this job was more special to me thSo when you initially signed on you knew it was only for seven episodes? it was only for seven episodes?

EWELL: Yes. [Vicki's death] was something that needed to happen in order for Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen

At least you got a chance to play a vampire! chance to play a vampire!

EWELL: It was such a gift as an actress to be the first [human] to turn. The audience got to go through the whole thinWas part of you hoping Kevin Williamson would change his mind?liamson would change his mind?

EWELL: Of course. I?d be lying if I said [leaving] wasn?t difficult. But it was also th

What was it like shooting your death scene?it like shooting your death scene?

EWELL: Funny story: In the original script, Jeremy kills Vicki. And that?s what we shot. Jeremy is forced to choose between saving the love of his life or his sister, and he chooses his sister. We shot the whole thing and I [moved back to] L.A. Then about a week and a half later, I got an e-mail from Kevin and [coexecutive producer] Julie Plec asking me to come back to Atlanta to reshoot my death sWhy the switch?e Stefan kills me.

Why the switch?

EWELL: They chose to have Stefan kill me because it makes him more of a hero since he saves Elena. There was also the question of would Jeremy know to Any chance you might return?rt?

Any chance you might return?

EWELL: Anything can happen on a vampire show. Dying doesn?t necessarily mean that someone?s gone forever? In the original script, when Vicki gets staked you see her disappear into dust. But in the [reshot scene that aired], Stefan pulls the stake out and Damon takes me away. So they left the ending open to interpretation.

    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104

      By Copernic · Posted

      O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
