G-rated material is more profitable than adult material. And by wide margins -- eight times more profitable, in fact.

Well, that's fine for Disney and Pixar, but Renderosity is not even CLOSE to G-Rated. Saying this place is "family friendly" is ridiculous, with the amount of nudity (and badly done nudity at that) in the galleries and in the store (since older products don't have to conform to policy changes).

Yes, there are things in place to make it somewhat more appropriate for younger viewers, but it's not family friendly any more than the neighborhood pub. Sure you can take kids there, but it's not really meant for kids, it's not really suitable for kids, and it's not a place where most parents would want to take their kids (and certainly not let them go unsupervised).

And speaking as someone who has a lot of websites, I can tell you that the one that gets the most traffic (despite requiring registration to view the gallery) is my erotic art site. In fact, I believe that site gets the most traffic of any site on our entire server.

At the moment, I'd say Renderosity is rated M for Mature Audiences, as it includes violence, nudity, adult themes, strong language, and sexual references (that's using the Australian rating system). By the U.S. system, this site is probably R-rated. If you actually use the nudity filters, it's probably still R-rated for the violence, adult themes, strong language, and sexual references.
