Quote - I've been in the chat for 3-4 days now.  Unfortunately I see why no one joins. 90% of the chat is plagued with utter nonsene, but 10% of the time you actually see people discuss 3D. On a business level it's not right to use Rendo's chat room for your personal discussion, the chat is there for renderosity & 3d related discussion not to talk about how about how much you love your cats. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that casual talk sometimes, but when 90% of the time people discuss nonsense it's no good.

The solution is for renderosity to either enforce 3D only discussion or create a separate chat room for "casual socializing".

I'm still going to go into the chat but most likely start blocking people with  no desire to improve their renders, who don't care about the quality of their renders and only use the chat to talk about justin bieber.

However there are some in the chat room who do use it properly so it's not a total waste. You just have to filter out a lot of worthless chat.

Hey you're the one who brought up this Bieber person, not any of us.

And like I told you in chat. I don't feel you have anything of value to tell me concerning my renders, thanks anyway.

actually, chat has ALWAYS  been about socializing with like minded people. the old chat even invited people to pop in and have a chinwag with friends.

as many noobies could tell you, we will help anyone who pops in with an issue they may be having with Poser, or any 3D or 2D app.

we help each other, and anyone who comes in and is FRIENDLY is welcomed. we share works, and works in progress. but having a self-confessed 'image collector'  ( being polite) in the room discourages people from sharing their work.

unfortunately, the atmosphere that has been generated in chat means that myself and a few others will not be using it while an unwelcome guest is squatting.

I don't want to have to lock this thread as a discussion about chat can be helpful but this line of discussion is pointless. 

Bottom line is that chat is open.  Just as Renderosity has forums and galleries for genres other than 3d, chat is open to all discussions.  End of argument.  No one will enforce a 3D only discussion so that particular argument is over.

<< --- feels left out... me usez 2D as well

After reading what you just said, I agree that you should lock this thread. This thread is pointless if you wont' bring order to a chat room that needs it.

You've just encouraged people to talk about their pets for four hours straight. When a new user comes into the chat they'll see people talking about hair care products instead of 3D and just leave.  I've been in the chat for 3-4 days now. I see new users come in for a little bit, then just leave because of the non-3d related chat.

I understand why this website is in such chaos now, no offense. It's funny actually lol.

How do you know that's the reason they pop in and then out? Are you psychic? If so, what's next weeks Powerball numbers, I'll split it with ya :o)

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know familiar names over a period of time (3-4 days) and the identify a new name pop in.  When that new user pops in you wait and see what they do and observe the quality of the conversation.

I've seen it happen. While i'm rendering i'll watch chat, a new user comes in while everyone is talking about something non-3d related (hair care products, their pets, etc). The person stays for a minute or two and leaves.

Anyways, if you guys want to fail that is your problem. The problem is it affects me since I'm just trying to maximize my resources. A chat room for poser is ideal but not when its run by amatuers who encourage non renderosity, non 3d discussion. I mean at least make another chat room for those who want to enhance their productivity.

Go ahead lock the thread, this is pointless, no offense. I agree with Kendra lock this thread. lol. I guess I can use the chat room to talk about my dog.. LOL.

/me feeds the Troll

Oh please, Zanzo of the infinite Power & Wisdom... don' let this thread be locked! We NEED you to tell us poor dumb wannabes that our social lives MUST revolve around what YOU wanna discuss at any given moment. Is so refreshing after spending over a DECADE in chat to have someone tell me I been doin' it wrong.

All hail the Cu... the Zanzo!!!

...Mwah-hah-hah-ha

...cough.

/turns on renderosity chat

How is your dog and the type of shampoo you're using? is it good? Do you still have split ends?

/turns off renderosity chat

Apparently, someone deleted the post with the images of the dog, a bottle of shampoo, and the President.  I was waiting for a "which smells better" or "which is smarter" discussion/rant.

The shampoo probably would have won both. :)

The funny thing is the people in rendo chat are helping me go to competitor website's chat rooms so i can discuss 3D. The moderator bionic just sits there and does nothing.

"lf you want to talk about 3d why don't you go to Devart, RDNA or DAZ"... LOL it's hilarious

zan, after several years here, I must decline to participate in chat, as it attracts trolls who don't know how to use poser, nor how to moderate their own speech.  however, I know of no other useful chat resource, hence serious users trying to learn poser are encouraged to post questions here in forum, or at rdna.

I'm going to make this pretty much stright to the point. The chat on this site is for ALL topics. Not simply 3D. I'm sure I can speak for many of us Poser users... I don't always want to talk about 3D related stuff its good to find people that have the same interests as me that also do 3D stuff.

Moving on... this thread is now locked. This really should not have been posted in the Poser forum anyways as it relates to the chat. Any suggestions or issues with such should be emailed to admin@renderosity.com

Thanks
