I agree, it already is interesting: follow the latest journal entry of the site's owner (http://vampirefreaks.com/) - he is trying to do some white PR here, the responses are first from the community only, giving support to one another, blaming the media for blaming them and solidarizing with the victims (not in many posts, though, their community is the most important thing in this discussion), then come some people from the outside blaming the community, trying to flood the forum (one person) or solidarizing with the victims/blaming members of the forum for not solidarizing enough and focusing on their community instead. Fascinating, and I've just started reading. Anna
There was another goth-related murder, that of Pamela Vitale in Calfornia. Her murderer was recently convicted. As Josh said it will be interesting to see how online communities respond.
