Yup, I said it was a bad idea. For Renderosity. Not in general. Oh, and if you click on my name, you'll get taken to my artist page. Where you can not only see my picture, but that my name is Jennifer Jonas. You can also see that on the "Team" page. I post with my screen name so as to not confuse the masses. That, and, after having the screenname everywhere that I have an account on the internet (including my domain), the name of MorriganShadow is a huge part of me. It IS my dark side. As was stated, the idea is a bad thing in a site as huge and volatile (sometimes) as Renderosity. LOL, and I've been called much worse than "School Marm". Today. And it's only 8am where I am. I apologize for not having a 100% understanding of what you're wanting to do here, but half explainations lead to half interpretations, so that's all anyone has had to go on. I stated that the sort of forum that you are suggesting would be a bad idea to have at Renderosity. Having to police an area that you'd described (and yes, we do have to monitor every inch of this site to comply with rules that WE, as a business, have to follow) would be, to be honest, much more work than fun for anyone. First of all, it would be a forum of a "Darker" nature. Immediately, protests around the site would erupt from Conservatives of many of the most mainstream religions, stating that we allow such filth onto the site (like we don't get messages like that already). Also, having it anonymous would be catastrophic. Think about it. Remember that kid in high school who was "dark", but not quite outrageously goth? The one who read poetry, and painted, and could draw those amazingly detailed scribbles instead of listening to the lesson in Trigonometry? The one who would draw a picture of a beautiful girl, throw it away, and later get beaten up by that girls boyfriend? That forum would be the kid. Human nature tells me that for every one kid like that, there are at least 15 "big burly guys" who would come into that forum to raise hell simply due to the subject matter. My saying it was a bad idea was more than just a no. It's trying to say "Forcing something into a community does not make it accepted automatically." And that is what we would be doing. We would be attempting to force a "Dark" lifstyle into the community, where there are many who are vocal against it. I understand the want...nee, need, for it. But it is logistically not a possibility in a site as huge and diverse as Renderosity. It is, in all reality, an explosion waiting to happen. MorriganShadow a.k.a.
