I remember the sanguinous forums. People thought they were vampires. When someone lost their cool and acted out vampirically, it was refered to as twoofing.
Or in the way of teenagers, they liked being a vampire and couldn't keep clear in their mind the distinction of putting on a role and being the role.
One guy accidentally killed his dog trying to steal it's blood and was instutionalized.
Vampires were definitely a thing in that very very very brief period where dressing like a Matrix character was genuinely a cool look and people who's names were Chip hadn't all died in 9/11.
I've never seen Fairly Odd Parents and had to search the name (was a pre-teen when it came out and liking non-violent kids stuff was taboo) but holy shit that dude is definitely a Chip.
But yeah, during the mid-late 90s Chip was a name you wouldn't even bat an eye at and post 2000, even the Chips that were big faded.
That much I can't help you with. I am sure they exist somewhere.
They were a very big thing in the 90s. Urbam fantasy as a genere was just being invented and popularized. The PnP RPG/Larp system Vamlire the masquerade hit. Along with the show Buffy the vampire slayer. It combined the goth sensability with the fantasy appeal. The internet wasn't really real yet so sprawling dark lore and secrets were passed person to person in clandestine meeetings at malls and parks and under large trees after school.
Shit was kinda lit actually. Look up vampire larp stories. I am sure there is a big youtube compliation at thia point. It'll cook your noodle for sure.
I had one time played a table top version of the vampire game, where a guy was in game fucking with me to make me look bad so that a girl I was seeing would leave me, ostensibly for him. Which looking back would be the most perfect distalation of that era. I think that guy unironically wore a cape all the time but he was really tall so no one fucked with him about it.

Where can I read more about these forums? And when were they?
Were vampires a big thing in the 90s/00s? Is that why the Blade trilogy was made?
