Here's something that really helps with the bandwidth and storage problem - RealPlayer encoding. While I dislike RealPlayer's pushiness as much as anyone, I do think they have truly outstanding web-level video compression. I need just about a megabyte for one minute's worth of animation. I save the Poser animation as an uncompressed avi, load it into Premiere 6, add background if any, and output it as a RealPlayer file with the free plugin that came with Premiere 6. There may be cheaper or freeware solutions also, but I haven't looked into them. And good luck on getting an animation forum up. I think it's a great idea.
