Dear Ksusha, judging by your registration date and number of posts it seems to me you are successfully expressing your opinions in topics written in Russian language.
So, why don’t you give English speaking fans a break in these few topics started in English ?
Why do you try to turn into Russian these few topics started in English?
I really don’t know what is it in question : Are you unable to understand that when English speaking fan opens a link on a topic started in English and persistently finds answers in Russian, knowing that the person who post this answer in Russian KNOWS that he can’t understand it, then it’s very insulting, he feels like getting a slap in face ( which is ok, if you like to get that feeling … but I really don’t )
or … Are you just being impudent ?
What is it then, first or second ?
Thanks to Nika for translation

If to say more serious, I intentionally put difficult questions. Why? To stimulate mental process in our heads.
Of course ! As I said when you start analyzing you never know what will you discover !

Dear Masha, Please don't be that strict and fanatic in this matter. There's no sin if one posts in Russian in the topic started in English. Surely it is good idea to motivate all Foruum members to use English to attract more fans from worldwide to this forum. But please do not forget about people who cannot take part in English-languaged discussions through lack of skills. Is it fair? They enter Russian site with Russian forum and can not take part in most of discussions. All E-speaking fans can take part in other E-speaking forums in any country. Do Russian fans have the same possibility? So please do not ignore it. By limiting one's liberty of language we can insult theese people as well. Let's be humant, let us be tolerant and loyal to each other. Thanks to all of you for understanding.

Well, we all saw where that leads – English speaking fans we totally excluded from discussions and almost all of them stopped visiting foruum because of that. Wasn't it so ?

There are very much Russian speaking fans and they are FREE to discuss in topics in Russian language. There are very little non Russian speaking fans and they should be protected by #14 Rule.
Let's be humant, let us be tolerant and loyal to each other.
Yes, that would be ideal ... As you know I was against dividing of foruum on language basis because I believe in this what you say. But, reality showed it's not possible. It's sad but obviously true. That why I think #14 rule is last chance to bring some things in order and manage to maintain international character of this foruum. I'm afraid that later it could be too late. As I said I'm pretty sick of it all ...

To The God and Masha: People. You are right. Both. Let me play smth like a rabbi from that old Yiddish anecdote. When he told to everyone who came to him with complaints about each other, he every time told to each: “You are right. And you are right. And you are right as well.”
So, you are right, my God ! We should be more tolerant to each other. I just can’t agree when you say: “There's no sin if one posts in Russian in the topic started in English.” Sure it’s not a sin from the Church point of view. But we must respect non-Russian-speaking people among us and let them understand what we are talking about. So, I completely agree with Masha, when she claims to delete at the moment the first post in Russian appeared in English started topic. I underline – the first post in Russian (then the second one won’t appear). Then here will be something tolerant and friendly. She doesn’t claim to manage Russian started topics. But English – it’s fair. I won’t write in English in a topic started in Russian. In case if anybody would be interested what there is talking about ask me and I’ll translate. The rule is simple and fair – just continue topic in that language what it is started in. We see here Italian started topic and nobody claims them to write there in English. And sure. Some people are too timid to start posting in English. But it’s not an indulgence for breaking rules and make E-speaking people offended. I think if any person can read in English, so he/she is able to write something clear in English. And here we come to another rule of our forum. It’s a rule #10 : The discussion of spelling, punctuation and other mistakes made by posts’ author is not greeted. We all make mistakes writing our posts (even no matter do we it in English or in Russian). I remind this rule not because we had smth like this. No. I just want to show all timid(in E-writing) people that they must try to participate in English started discussions and not to be afraid of being ridiculed. And as David said in another topic – it’s a great opportunity for all of us to improve our English (if just we ain’t lazy). When you are not good in smth it’s really not a sin. But if you are lazy to try to be good…
And Masha, your motives in standing up for internationality of our forum are understandable and truly fair. And as you see you have enough support among foruumists including our admin at the head. I just don’t see as necessary to blame Ksusha again and again after her sincere attempt to apologize. Her guilt wasn’t so huge. And her ethical mistake wasn’t because of impudence. It was just a mistake and didn’t mean to offend anybody here. She wasn’t insistent in such mistakes. She is a nice and very friendly girl. I’m afraid your severe words towards her made her upset and silent in the forum. I think it’s unfair meaning her try to apologize. I don’t want anybody to leave us because of similar misunderstandings. Please, Masha, grow lenient and let’s end discussing LANGUAGE BARRIER matter in the topic dedicated to VACUUM MUSIC STYLE. I just was going to write here my own definition of the style and can’t do it right now because I feel grief of misunderstanding here. I feel I must defend somebody and it’s more important than any definitions. Dear Masha! Please, say to Ksusha something nice and don't be so severe. And let's return to VACUUM MUSIC STYLE. Ok?

C'mon people! What are you talking about?... Blame? What is the blame of girl who posted in her native language in the forum located in her native area? You want to protect E-speaking audience from Russian posts. You consider that it can hurt them as they do not read Russian... Ok, it's correct, good idea! But deleting of Russian posts and limiting language is insulting Russian audience.
Personally I will do my best to post in English as I support the idea of sharing our discussions with our friends worldwide. Vacuum forever! But I am absolutely sure that it is up to everyone's consciousness to join this idea or not. If one prefers Russian it is unfair to limit him/her. This forum should unite us, and not to split. It should be for black and white people as well. For males and females. For R-,E-,I-,D-,S-,J-,F-,...-speaking people.
Nika, please think once more what you are doing...
P.S. When I enter off-sites by some of my favourite bands CHARON, ENTWINE, SHAMRAIN (Finnish gothic-metal) , I do not feel myself insulted when some news are in Finnish. I understand that they are local enough to be spread worldwide. I know that all the important news will be in English.
P.P.S. Should we stop using Ukrainian phrases in Russian topics as well. There are people who do not speak Ukrainian (I know it for sure) and they can be insulted by that... Where is the limit of this language spliting?!...

Masha, The God, I think you should move your discussion to the topic "In English, please", as here it's offtopic. I would be glad to answer The God's last message "Think, what you are doing, Nika", but not under "Vacuum style" topic title. ---- Annette, a good idea:
I think it could be called just "Vacuum"
I know, there's a music style called "Space", and now we have just opened its derivative style - "Vacuum".

Exactly Shadow. Remember how necessity made us add Foruum Rules in the first place. And it worked ... Foruum survived that first crisis because our Admin carried out these Rules in practice. It should be done now too.
She doesn’t claim to manage Russian started topics. But English – it’s fair.
Yes, some tend to forget that.
I just don’t see as necessary to blame Ksusha again and again after her sincere attempt to apologize. ]
Well, it was a last straw … as I said I’m sick of it … and then I become mad !
Dear Masha! Please, say to Ksusha something nice and don't be so severe.
Ok, I have nothing against her personally of course … I just wanted to say it loud and clear.
to Ksusha : Dear Ksusha, don’t take this personally please, if that what Shadow says is true – that it was a mistake without bad intention, and that you will have in mind #14 rule from now on, then there is no reason for you to feel upset about it. Hey, people sometimes say things louder in their own family and then they all sit together at the same table again… isn’t it so? and we are all one big Vacuum family … please, do come. If you would like to exchange opinions with English speaking fans it doesn’t matter if your English maybe isn’t so good - you are welcome! , and if you don’t, then you do it in Russian language topics with people who understand your language... It’s simple and it's plain, why should we complain
Please, Masha, grow lenient and let’s end discussing LANGUAGE BARRIER matter in the topic dedicated to VACUUM MUSIC STYLE.
I hope I've just done that

Sorry, but I didn't know this rule, and I will try to write now in English And what about style? May be some people have idea about style each song in the lastest album Vacuum

I would call this style psychedelic synth-pop, meaning all that interesting sounds and the total mood of the album. (In direct translation from greek psychedelic means something, which enlightens spirits. For Russians:  äîñëîâíîì ïåðåâîäå ñ ãðå÷åñêîãî ïñèõîäåëè÷åñêèé – ïðîñâåòëÿþùèé äóøó.)

I remember the word “psychedelic” only in context of “ psychedelic drugs” It seems to me that word has rather negative sound ... Did you watch movie “Adaptation” with Meryl Streep and Nicholas Cage ? Fabulous movie – an example about the nature of psychedelic “enlightment” ... True change (adaptation-enlightment) can come out only from inside (Cage) , not from outside(Streep) although they were both intellectuals longing for “adaptation” and ... I think that in the music of new Vacuum there are spiritual, religious fermentings that came from inside and were born out of normal life experiences ...

So, don't you see in discussed style exactly a perfect "symbiosis" of both?
Masha, I will answer you later. Gotta go now. Sorry.

Shadow, this swinging icon is perfect. Exactly what I mean. Current V//-lyrics are full of dark and sacred images as well. They are very polar.
