Are their any other Poser forums out there that are as lively as this one?

Been around for a while here now, but all of imo junk aroud here (sexual tinted stuff), doesn't really agree with my lifestyle and at times bthers me. I'm working from home a lot and my kids sure don't need to be seeing half of the stuff around here. So I'm looking for other poser forums that are still lively and good, but without all of the junk.... are they out there somewhere?

You might want to spend some time at Daz3d.com or PlanIt3D.com, they both have active forums with Poser QnA but less than average referrals to sex. Other than that.... pretty much all the forums have a certain amount of adult tinting to them since the majority of us are adults. What exactly do you find distasteful here? The text posts are fairly tame, I imagine you're referring to posts with nude images in them? Just curious and it would help with referring you to other sites. BTW, ignore any suggestions to go to oseroticaPay, enderoticaRay or aunchyMindsRay (those names are encrypted with pig latin so as not to corrupt any young minds). They talk about sex at those sites quite frequently so don't let anybody trick you!

I thought of a couple others that might suit you. http://netherforums.com (Netherworks) http://www.posetteforever.com (Tormentor) http://poserforums.com (Sixus)

"The text posts are fairly tame, I imagine you're referring to posts with nude images in them? Just curious and it would help with referring you to other sites." Yes and also to a lot of the content sold here and the galeries, which are freely accessable. Also some of the ads flying around are that brilliant Don't feel like browsing through lot's of images each day to find a decent one. I'm a member at DAZ forums too, but find those very distant too. Also most of the post there are to much related to DAZ stuff. Besides that I don't like the way moderators moderate over there, to 'aggressive'imo.

I just saw a somewhat nude female in the gallery here. Breast is exposed so I can understand what you mean. They should rate the stuff here as for adults so parents can keep their kids from viewing it.

Well, you can filter your preferences so that you don't see nude images at all. It won't filter out the violence, which bothers me far more than an exposed nipple or kissing couple. Nobody has mentioned 3dcommune: they are about the friendliest and least controversial site, so don't get talked about much. The sites with the highest exposure are usually the ones with problems or troublemakers or heavy-handed policies. Carolly

DAZ and 3DCommune are probably about the tamest Poser-related forums around. At least as far as the "major" Poser sites are concerned. Certain small sites might fit the bill better, but I am unfamilar with them.

Renderosity is actually pretty tame too, relatively speaking -- far, far more so than it used to be. Much to the anger/disappointment of some.

That's an interesting statement.

Generally speaking, "toned-down" forums pretty much require "aggressive" moderating. Without tight moderation, forums tend to slide towards flame fests -- not to mention the fact that the content of posts is largely unregulated.

Non-aggressive moderating/cleaned-up content are pretty much mutually-exclusive ideas. Somewhat of a contradiction in terms.

"Kid-safe" generally means heavy moderator control. It's virtually impossible to have the one without the other.

Ummm...we aren't an erotic site, but we do get rather foul-mouthed at times. Just an FYI.... >;) --Rebekah--

Renderotica is ok too, just remember to steer clear of the galleries, the store, the forums......um come to think of it that place is so adult tinted it makes renderosity look like a morning at kindergarten :D

Foul language at poserforums.com? No, say it isn't so Rebekah! =P

...opening a simple forum/community for kids who do 3D/CG artwork? Dunno if Poserkids.com is taken or YoungPosers or whatever, but it might be a decent idea... /P

I think that a Poser forum/site specifically oriented towards children would be a good idea.

Generally speaking, I don't believe that any of the major Poser-related sites are truly 100% kid-safe. There's simply too much adult-themed material floating around.....some of the firey debates over matters like copyright issues or personalities can get too nasty for children. Without even mentioning sexual material in the process.

IMO -- children don't belong in that type of environment. Children should be allowed to be children. They don't need our issues stuffed into their heads. They aren't equipped to deal with it. In fact, many adults aren't equipped to deal with it, either..........

So yes -- Poserkids.com would be a good idea.

Xenophonz: Very good idea. Perhaps Renderosity should set up a properly supervised sub-web specifically for children (with age verification)- Renderkids.com Still depends on adults supervising/monitoring their children when at the monitor screen though. That's were all the positive ideas fall down - Either parents or guardians do not care or they do not have sufficient computer knowledge. Also, don't forget the pervs who would be attracted to a childrens own site!

Hi-diddly-aye neighbours. We folks over at PlanIt 3D aren't above a little cussing and swearing yanno. Why, only last month I saw a "drat" in one of our forums, and I'm sure there were at least two "darns" last year alone ;)

"Also, don't forget the pervs who would be attracted to a childrens own site!" The admins could keep an eye on that easily enough; rig it up so that PM's are monitored, and that any known/suspected-with-proof pervs could be banned on short notice. PHPBB also has a facility to automatically convert known obscene words into whatever you want them to convert to - such as "shit" turning into "shoot" once it gets posted, or somesuch (you as the admin get to edit that list and their conversions.) I remember playing with it back when DAZ' forums were just a hidden test area. /P

Once a forum is made truly safe for kids, then very few adults will be interested in posting there.

Children are a different race from adults, and they should be treated as such. Kids aren't allowed to drive: they shouldn't be allowed to jump into something as potentially hazardous as the average Poser-related forum, either. They don't belong here.

Giving them their own 3D site would be a good idea.
