IMO, this isn't a kids' website. Children don't belong here. I know that the work of youngsters is sometimes found in the galleries, etc......but once you bring children into a place, then it's no longer a 100% open place for adults.

Even totally putting aside the sexual (implied or otherwise) nature of much of what's to be found hereabouts, many of the (non-sexual) discussions in these forums are not for kids, either.

Chidren don't belong in here any more than they belong in a theater showing R-rated movies. Or in a college classroom where heated debates occur on a regular basis. In spite of the silly accusations of some, this place isn't Disneyland. And it's not for children. At least not as it's currently constituted.

I wouldn't allow small children to watch many of the news reports to be found on TV. They just aren't equipped with the personal tools which are necessary to handle watching scenes of dead bodies, etc.. Nor do they grasp what's meant by adults yelling at each other over various esoteric political issues.

Likewise, I wouldn't allow any small children to "look over my shoulder" while I'm visiting certain websites. And Rendo is one of those kinds of websites.

Children need to go to children's websites. We don't let them drive cars, because they aren't mature enough to handle it yet. Nor should we allow them into forums that aren't age-appropriate for them. I'd strongly suggest staying out of the Poser forums if the kids are watching.
