Quote - Yes I'm sure there is. I don't think I've ever even visited that site but I know a lot of our members are members there as well so I know there has to be some good talent and great artwork.

Your politeness knows no bounds, StaceyG. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen anyone more diplomatic than you on any forum, anywhere.
I do mean that as a compliment, btw. :-)

But...when it comes to the imagery at that "other" site.. uhh, let's just say that most of what I've seen of it is...shall we say, disturbing and freaky. I don't mean like HR Giger disturbing and Salvador Dali freaky, either. Let's leave it at that. ;-)

Although I will repeat that it's been quite a while since I looked at anything there, so it could be the most wonderful art site in the world by now for all I know.

On the chat thing - I don't know about anyone else, but when I first got online many years ago, chatting in real time with people I didn't know was interesting for about three hours. Then it's always the same thing - people get their own cliques going, and it's a whole lot of blahblah about nothing.
DAZ' Art Zone chat was occasionally interesting, but always ended up all about Poser and a whole lot of gossip about various merchants, and sales pitches.
Organized chat sessions, where there is a defined topic at a set time is far more interesting and can even be very productive.
