Been a long time since we did a blog post on The Vortex Blog, but I thought it was time we brought it back to life. Seems wordpress added facebook and twitter tools since I last logged in. Stay tuned.

VORTEX v2.0 LAUNCHED

Gemini Enfield — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:38:11 +0000

The Vortex v2.0 in Whippersnapper

On Thursday 22nd January, we launched The Vortex v2.0 on our unsuspecting members. Designed and built by Loki Eliot, V2 has a futuristic space-age look and feel with its satellites orbiting around its peak. The exterior walls are white, inspired by the movie Wall-E, currently in cinemas.

The Vortex v2.0 interior

The interior, like a TARDIS, is much larger on the inside than it looks from the outside. It incorporates all the elements of the original building and is certainly not lacking in the friendly atmosphere The Vortex is famed for. The dance floor is fully scripted with numerous patterns and designs and FX effects to make a party really go off with a bang.

The Vortex v2.0 in Whippersnapper

The new Vortex building uses much less prims and fewer scripts and lag is much reduced. The original building had flaws that we were unable to overcome due to a lack of permissions.

General reaction to the change has been enthusiastic and the word “AWESOME!!!” seems to sum up what most members think. There were a small number of dissenters who were not happy about the change, such as Pierre Webb who had a sandwich board with the slogan ‘kids against the new vortex’. However, Pierre beat a hasty retreat out of the doorway in flight from the growing vexation of Wlfric.

Personally, I love the new Vortex and I am very grateful to my SL brother, Loki Eliot, for building it, especially as he did so without my knowledge to cheer me up. THANKS BRO!!!

Please let us know what you think of The Vortex v2.0 by leaving your comments here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wlfric Gausman Is New Manager

Wlfric Gausman

With the disappearance of Dante we needed a new manager and were very fortunate to have Wlfric Gausman accept the post. Wlfric is a very articulate person and has proven to be a great choice.

We look forward to Dante’s return, as together they will make a formidable team.

Have You Seen My Dog?

Gemini Enfield — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:44:29 +0000

A few months ago our manager, Dante Achterbahn, vanished, leaving the Vortex like a ship without a captain. We recently heard from Dante, RL issues have kept him offline, not to mention his cracked monitor. According to sources, Dante will be back soon.

GEMINI TAKES A REST

Gemini Enfield — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:18:13 +0000

I’ve put a lot of time and effort in to The Vortex in the last 2 years and pretty well worn myself out. I suffer from insomnia and have not been in the best of health of late, so I’ve finally decided its time to take a back seat for a while and get some rest. I look forward to going to bed at a sensible time and waking up early (AM as opposed to PM – LOL).

Over the coming weeks I plan to go in to the centre of London to do some photography and also work on a machinima project (animated movies in SL) and leave the main running of The Vortex to simson Babii and Dante Achterbahn, whom we recently promoted to full managers, so please direct any enquiries etc, to them. I will still be around but unlikely to be at many events.
