Sanguinarius: The Vampire Support Page launched no later than 6 June, 1997, and possibly earlier than 14 April, 1997. It was originally titled The Home Page of Sanguinarius (how lame!); it was originally located on AOL.

January, 1998 - Sanguinarius founded the IRC channel #Sanguinarius on Dal.net. The first official log with a discussion in it was dated January 25th.

February 25, 1998 - The Sanguinarius News & Updates Mailing List was founded on ListBot, and the first message went out to the smattering of people who'd signed up by then.

March 8, 1998 - Sanguinarius resolved to be a little more open-minded about vampyre lifestylers, and extends the focus of her website to include them. The Vampire Discussion Board moved from its InsideTheWeb location to Server.Com.

July 15, 1998 - Sanguinarius moved her site from AOL to Tripod.com. AOL had space limitations and the page was spread out over three different screen names; it could now be consolidated under one. By this t oime, Sanguinarius was mirrored on theCoven.org, but that domain suddenly vanished; this was temporary.

September 1, 1998 - "Bloody Minded: A Message Board for Blood Drinkers" founded on Server.com. This board provided a more specific forum to address the topics and concerns of those who drink blood.

By September 4, 1998 - The old InsideTheWeb Vampire Discussion board had been converted into the Vam-Personals.

November 5, 1998 - Sanguinarius moved the Vampire-Discussion group to OneList. OneList later became Egroups and finally Yahoo! Groups.

January, 1999 - Added an interactive Calendar to the site. Plans to phase out the Tripod site in favor of the one on the Coven Organization.

February 1, 1999 - Sanguinarius News & Updates List was founded on OneList.

By February 3, 1999, Sanguinarius: The Vampire Support Page was hosted on The Coven Organization's webspace "coffins". Apparently had the Real Vampire Directory up and running by then.

February 17, 1999 - Unfortunately, the entire Coven Organization site vanished once more on or about February 17th ("the stiffs who hosted the domain took offense at The Coven's PG-rated Vampire Erotica section and removed the domain from their server"). Sanguinarius.org vanished with it; fortunately, it was mirrored on Tripod, but without the scripts such as The Real Vampire Directory and the Vampire Community Calendar. The Coven site was back up again a few days later, but it prompted Sanguinarius to seriously consider acquiring a domain of her own.

June 9, 1999 - Sanguinarius.org domain launched with the generous help of Sangpoursang.

June 13, 1999 - Vampires-AMOK, the quad state coven, is founded for vampires living in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.

July 14, 1999 - The Real Vampire Directory moved to Sanguinarius.org.

October 28-December 12, 1999 - The Coven site vanished again. According to Raphael Osiris, the Coven Org's founder, "The Coven lost access to it's server because of an overly-cautious hosting providor concerned about our type of 'content' and traffic. ... We have purchased our own server hardware and high-speed data access line to our headquarters and are no longer at the mercy of said hosting providors."

Nitallica wrote, "Your site has been awarded the Light in the Darkness Award. Sites like yours are an inspiration and truly represent the spirit of the Internet. Not many people have the courage to tackle "darker" subjects, which leaves many victims feeling alone and alienated. It's comforting to know that with sites like yours, one can feel that he or she is _NOT_ alone out there ... and that there is, indeed, a light in the proverbial darkness."
