I find a increasing number of distasteful conversations going on in #blenderchat ( is this IRC channel not for talk about modeling/animating ?) seeming to undermine a resourceful community supposedly with goals of helping others use a quality product,- but having to deal with talk of sharing girlfriend naked pictures/pron and allowing spam/sex BOTS to exist and cause mahem.
I therefore am starting my own channel at: #blender
feel free to stop over ONLY if you are serious about NOT talking about pron(porn) or blood and crossbows and guns and idiotic stuff like thatā¦your right to discuss those things ( apparantly) starts in #blenderchat but ends in #blender as this channel will only allow decent 3D chat for those serious about sameā¦
I mean no offense to anyone as its a free country and you may discuss anything you wish , I just find it disgusting and am electing to do something about it as I do not wish to partake of such a vile community of uses.
iām in and out depending how busy a day Iāve hadā¦and its not going to attract millions of people immediately but Im sure it will get a following of serious 3d usersā¦
well in #blenderchatā¦sure there is chat about everything and nothingā¦but when someone need some tips for 3d they is always someone or more to help him outā¦so I think blenderchat is still the place for modelling
yup and just as certain you are likely to wind up dealing with kiddie stuff, pron talk, BOTās and ops that arenāt willing to deal with any of the aboveā¦I know from personal experienceā¦
and Ive seen it consistenly in there so thanks but no thanksā¦im sure it will continue to be used by those types but #blender will also be a quality channel where you wont be hastled with those kinds of usersā¦weāll still have fun! but clean funā¦
hmm, I was planning on not reacting to this thread, but as a visitor AND an operator of #blenderchat I feel youāve left me no choice.
We do NOT openly talk about porno, we talk about nice women. big difference. Blenderchat is meant to be a channel where both blender-related conversation is allowed, as well as conversation about everyday life.
Last week there was 1 incident where there the conversation got a little out of hand and there was no operator around. boohoo dude, we have lives. (note: I probably should have rephrased this sentence, but I didnāt)
As Stefano stated above, good luck on keeping your channel strictly blender related.

Iām not sure what to say about this. I donāt frequent #blenderchat like I used to, and part of that is due to the more derogatory conversations that tend to take place nowadays. On the other hand, that is the nature of the internet, like it or not.
I do know, however, that if I have a question that cannot wait for a response here on the forums, I can ask in #blenderchat and help will be provided, if possible.
On the rare occassion of someone being excessively rude to me, Iāve the choice to stay and hold my ground, stay and ignore the rudeness, or roll my eyes and come back another time.
In conclusion, I can say that I understand the frustration of neighborlee, and having another channel to go to might not be a bad thing. But again, it is the nature of the internet, so I wouldnāt be surprised to see the same degredation in the new channel, no matter how noble the original intent.
Donāt forget that there is also the ever popular #blenderqa on freenode ā where if you talk about
anything other that blender/3d graphics for too
long you get booted (well, you get warned, then
booted).

P.S. I have operator status in #blenderchat, so
if something bothers you let me know.
iāve only seen it get out of hand 5-7 times in the last 8 monthes, and iām there almost everyday for about two hours, sometimes more.
i do have a hard time understanding how people can talk about things like that.
i remember a conversation about postal 2, and how cool it was that you could pee on the dead victim.
i find that out of place in the least in a 3d appās chat channel.
of course the many sexually explicit conversations are sickening to, they would be classified as āout-of-handā however there are too many to count. :x
i find your initiative good, but i think it wonāt last, i for one will log on as i do daily.
āfā, followed by a āuā which is accompanied by a ācā and drags a ākā along (I do not want to be distasteful), is like chewing gum in use for 5 years.
Taste-less in the true meaning of the word.
hi and thx for supporting #blenderā¦to say its sickeing to find peeing on a corpse is fun is not only true but a huge understatement in the overall scheme of thingsā¦is there a point to such an act? and if there is I guarantee you its not the act of a āsaneā mindā¦
I choose to hang out amoung people that bring out the best of a program like blender and I guarantee you its not the crud that hangs out in #blenderchat ,put it this wayā¦if pron and BOTās and idiotic statements like that are allowed or not even criticized how can any respect ever be given to any channelā¦and if it isā¦its no channel Iām interested in because you seeā¦I know right from wrong albeit its clear many dontā¦or are too spoiled to care.
