Welcome to Vamp's Domain this early Monday afternoon.
This is my personal site which hosts all my Car DIY guides, my photo gallery, and my Airsoft CQB Counter-Strike map. The site has been revised five times now; Derrick's Home Page (Gothic Theme) in '95, Vamp & Smurfette's Playground in (Candy Theme) '99, Vamp's Domain (Raver Theme) in '01, Vamp's Domain (Graver Theme) in '03, and Vamp's Domain (Photo Gallery) in '06.
If anyone remembers the original site back when I was hosted on
US Net,
you should drop me a message. I used to have a lot of people coming to that site, especially for the Gothic, Vampyre & Anime Chat room. I've heard back from some of you already, including those who met in my chat room and ended up getting married. Congrats!
