Is that exactly what you wanted to say? Really? "If you want to talk about 3d graphics subjects, don't expect it on a 3d graphics site; go do it elsewhere"?

Somewhat, yes.  If the goal is to discuss something specific, such as how to retexture a figure, it might be best to set up a channel somewhere and post the time(s) in advance so people who want to discuss/learn more about that topic can do so without having to listen to everything else.  Basically, a members only, members run webinar in discussion format.

That seemed to be the goal of the OP, which initially received mostly negative responses.  Therefore, if site chat was proving (or likely to prove) insufficient for the preferred results then, yes, set up something specific elsewhere.
