Ok, this is a go!  

Sorry for the delay. I had chosen a domain name which was available, but I had a request to not register it as someone wanted to pay for the registration and have that be their contribution.  I haven't heard back so I went ahead and  purchased the domain name.

I will be contacting those who expressed interest in setting up the forum (I'm technologically challenged),  to see if they are still interested.

I am starting off with the 1&1 Home Package.  If need be, depending on the popularity, I can upgrade to a larger package. 

Now I just need some forum software.   This was suggested, any comments?

Again, there will be no store affiliation with the site.

It will also be a place for me to keep ALL of my bookmarks threads and the best part is that I'll be able to edit them to update them instead of having to continuously redo them, which is a real PITA!

Things that will be:

1.  Avatars

2.  Signatures

3.  A  commercial release forum. I wasn't going to do this but I think it's a good idea because there are a lot of vendors and stores around and if these posts were in the Poser forum, the forum would be quickly flooded and other posts would get lost.

4.  An  off topic forum with a separate password access  for privacy so the average person doesn't see you all fighting amongst yourselves,  LOL  However,  I don't tolerate people making things personal and using a means that I'm providing as a platform to be mean spirited and personally attack others.  I'm a firm believer in debating and discussing topics, so it won't be a no holds barred where anything goes.  There will be a trial period for this forum, if it turns into a gank fest and is used for personally attacking other members, it will be closed.

5.  A Tutorial Forum.  However, if people want to post their tutorial in the Poser forum, that's just fine too :)  

Things that are a maybe:

1.  Gallery:  We'll have to see how the bandwidth issue plays out

Other ideas are open to suggestion and consideration.

So if you are interested in helping to get this project off the ground, please send me a PM. I need people to set up the forum and moderate.  As I said earlier all I really want is the ability to make sticky threads and to edit them.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
