Way overdue, sorely needed, little if any opposition.  Gizmo please research this improvement.  Thanks!

There has been some good points made by different people in this thread.
One in particular I think was Xizi, was when people make choices of who to go with or not by looking in profiles it should be more clear as to what you get.
As it is now when anyone goes with a female avi unless that person has clearly stated what to expect from them there is not really any way of telling.
All we have are 2 genders to show we are interested in in our profiles, and 2 genders to select for avis.
For male avis it is easy to tell, at least 99% of the time as most men who like men will have it in their profiles, plus "M" in all poses represents a male, the male avis are typical male.
Female avis and the "F" are left to represent all of the other genders, including females.
There likely is not any way of having our avis show anything but female when dressed, but it should not be hard to have multiple choices of what can be shown in our profiles.
It should not be left to people needing to add something in the text part of their profile, it should be a selection that we have to make that will show in everybodies profiles.
That way when people look they can see exactly what to expect.
 
For the poses there most definitely needs to be another category.
Poses with dicks should not be included in female poses.
A lot of the poses shown in the upcoming update are not for females at all, they are for bodies with penises, they are not female.
 
I as an X player in 3DXChat can say that I as a women in the game felt like we were being disrespected with this type of thing.
We are being asked just to accept this type of thing and even belittled if we try to speak up.
I as a female player should be able to have a way to show that I am a female, just like the guys can show they are a male.
Not be put in a clump of several genders that I could be taken for.
Why should we be expected to share our identity.

I am excited about joining forces with the "double D". 

An amazing experience awaits...

I hope to see you all there.

Very beautiful and unusual place) Thank you very much DJMikeBurleigh and MrsMelanieBurleigh 

Very nice place. Thank you very much WildHoney and Downriverden))) I really hope you enjoy my video) 

3DX CHAT is our mini world! I understand many people like sex here! For me, sex is not the main thing! For me, as for many people, the main thing here is friends, music, communication with people from different countries, creating locations and filming music videos) I love you all very much and appreciate) From Russia with love 

I've always especially enjoyed Raevaen and StarrFyre, thank you both, and thank you to all of the other DJs.

dec·ades at ab·so·lute

 

Every decade, a period of ten years, music has proven to change and to grow so much,

that it is worthy to look at each decades idea of hard rock and examine how it has influenced today's bands.

 

Starting with the 70's, a time reflecting the antiwar and counterculture sentiments and the political unrest that carried over from the 60's;

tie dye shirts, ponchos, bell-bottoms, gauchos, and frayed jeans;

lava lamps and vinyl records;

Mork and Mindy (rest in peace Robin Williams);

Apocalypse Now, Alien, Superman, Grease, and -

The Godfather (it gives 'to the mattress' a completely different meaning) and -

the beginning of the Star Wars empire (see what I did there?);

and the list goes on.

 

But mostly it was the beginning of the journey of what people considered to be 'heavy metal'.

Roots of heavy metal come from bands like Blue Cheer and Jimmy Hendrix but officially the first band cited as heavy metal is...

 

Come to Absolute on Little Friday for that answer, and you will understand the musical journey of hard rock through the 70's and beyond.

This will be a five week series as we go through the decades, exploring the various influences to the music you listen to today.

Self moderation is linked to Roles on the forum, it cannot be assigned to individual people. Let's say we did a test run of Diary Moderation which makes sense, so you'd create a "Diary" role on this forum and give it the lock/unlock own content as it gives you the capability to remove any off-topic or offensive posts, that are posted on your diary, or you may just want your diary to be completely locked and only unlocked for yourself to make a post to avoid any distruptions to the diary posts. The only thing is, will this lock/unlock bypass a Mod/Admin lock on your post, I do not know as I haven't had time to test it yet.
 
As I mentioned previously it can be assigned to a specific role(s) As you can see in this screenshot of a test forum I have set up with this software: 
 
 
But there is also an "Auto-Moderation" system, but I do not think this will be ideal here as it can be given false positives as it is based on if "X Post gets Y amount of reports for Z Reason" it will then auto lock/delete the topic, this can be used by some people who have a lot of friends here.
But here it is in the settings: 
 
 
There is of course multiple filters you can also set for the said auto moderation system.

Ash's post is ace, like it seems there's loads of possibilities. I wonder if part of Ash's post is indirectly asking us which direction we to go in. I don't know about anybody else but for me a bit of advice would be useful. I'm also kinda assuming that Ash has Gizmo's ear so if a coherent approach comes out of this discussion then Gizmo is likely to give the nod pretty quickly. Like something's got to happen, I don't think anybody wants to see the kind of stuff that was happenning over the last month or two.
 
Liek there's two sorts of trolling, the funny stuff - shall we call it 'Butt hair' from the vid that was posted and the nasty stuff, abuse. I suppose it coul dbe broken down further, did we once talk about three or four levels of trolling. Anyway 'butt hair' is OK, if a bit gross, if threads aren't derailed by it. The abuse we can do without.
 
Back to where I started - my vote is with users having post/thread delete and lock rights to any threads they start. Mods/Gizmo have full rights to everything (obviously). Kinda keep it simple then people will go with it. I suppose, like most software, it can be quite fiddley to achieve something conceptually really easy. Anyway what's needed now is to develop some kind of consensus on this, remebering, of course, that proper independant moderation has been ruled out.

So the self moderating can't be switched off for individual people, I thought you said somewhere it could be, or maybe I just got that from where you mentioned it can be set to have it so you have to qualify for it 1st.
Well that makes a difference as we would then have to rely on account suspensions or bans to stop people from misusing it.
I do still think it is well worth while giving a try though as I don't believe people will misuse it as much as some seem to think.
Ash ? In the "The author must match the following filters" section, can more be added to the "Groups".
If so couldn't we add something maybe named "Member Moderator", then if they are to get set back to member and lose the moderating tools.

Yes, I mean you assign them to a role that doesn't have the capability to lock your own post, it's why I mentioned to create a new role so those who do abuse the lock/unlock mod action will be assigned this other role and have their ability to lock/unlock their posts disabled, so as it would stand right now.
 
 
The updated version of this forum software has a ton of new features available that this version 3DXForum is using is missing, also plugins can be used as well, which can extend certain functionalities outside of the default forum software functionality. If you all are interested in the different functionalities this forum software supports check this link and click the appropriate functionality: https://invisioncommunity.com/features/more/ also it'll be good for SGD to assign a Security Certificate to 3DXForum when the forum eventually is updated.

Oh good, so we can still have the feature turned on and off for individuals.
Just a thought, as it may be something that could be a compromise for the people who do not want self moderation, where we would be able to just delete posts from others in our threads.
Is there a way to be able to flag posts for deletion ?
The idea here is where we see a post in our thread, or maybe anywhere for that matter, that we feel needs to be deleted, we can flag it for deletion.
Which I know would mean more work for the forum moderator than complete self moderating of our own threads, but should also help the forum moderator as they could quickly see posts that should need deleting.
The forum moderator could also then judge if it should be deleted or not.
Is just a thought for compromise to the people that don't like the idea of post being deleted by us.
Although I still feel for dairies the owner should have full rights to delete posts.

Yes, it will be reviewed by a Forum Moderator whether it to be removed or not, but there is also other systems you can play with, with plugins that can make these things easier in the long term. But yes, currently with default software it will require a moderator to review but it will be a much more streamlined system as the current system on this forum version is pretty rubbish. (I remember from the past.) which makes it a bit of a chore to review individual thread posts. Also for multiple reports of the same topic, an option to select each post a "check box" that only a mod/admin can see to hide multiple posts at once, rather than dealing with one report, then going back and dealing with another in the same topic.

I personally like the idea of having a sense of responsibility when we start a topic. However, I also feel that instead of it being solely self moderation, there should still be a global forum moderator or more since 3dxforum has grown quite a bit.
 
The forum members that start their own topics can (within reason) edit or delete posts inside their topic, I've seen other forums do it this way and it works relatively well.
 
The Global moderator(s) could take care of the escalations, including but not limited to: repeated harassment from a forum member, any profile violations as according to the official Forum rules
 
http://3dxforum.com/index.php?/topic/1425-3dxchat-community-rules/, thread cleanup when needed.
 
Again, just my opinion. I think It would be a good idea.

I know this type of topic has been posted numerous amount of times, to which I have seen of late when catching up with the forum and such and I read a post in the Upcoming Updates discussion topic about how the community can find ways to improve the game that which will also improve the population of the game. So I am about to write a long post about the history of 3DXChat the best I can to my knowledge to try and see how the games development cycle has gone since Alpha/Beta and where things went wrong and how us, the community can improve the future development of the game. So, without waffling on, some important times of the games history may be missing to which please let me know of them in the replies.
 
3DXChat has been around now since 2012/2013 a long time and the graphics do indeed still keep up to date with todays average atleast in the adult gaming world. The only thing that has let the game down is the small development team, as well as the major Unity engine version changes (It tends to break a lot of stuff 90% of the time.) this often means new updates will take longer than normal to release as well as be developed, this has been the case for awhile, almost since the game first released all those years ago in Alpha/Beta. We're now on 3DXChat 2.6. and if we look at some of the history of the game we can see where things were good, and were not so good and how can we improve:
 
3DXChat Beta: 3DXChat was in Beta, during the time of 2013-2014, where they were releasing new locations every other month and updating weekly, such as Sin Club which was renamed from BDSM Club, and other locations were incorporated and User rooms were developed for people to open up their own room and have a basic room editor. This was when the game left Alpha and became Beta.
 
3DXChat 1.0: The road leading up to 1.0 was a long one, a lot of clothes and animations were being released every other week, revamping previously developed locations in Beta. 3DXChat left Beta and started to become 1.0 I'd say around the time they introduced the revamped Love Island back in 2014.This incorporated new lighting shaders, better stability of the location. And 1.0 coming out officially when they redesigned the Room editor, with new tools such as the photo tool and released a ton of new objects and radio support in the room editor for custom URLs, colour palette, the improved text chat and brought out the new dark GUI and advanced GUI functionality, as well as advanced profiles which is almost what the Dark GUI is today, of course it has been improved up on since, with many improvements still neccessary before it's the perfect GUI for the game.
 
3DXChat 2.0 Beta: The lead up to the release of the 3DXChat Beta 2.0 would mainly come in the new location Fresco Club, which is based off of the Dot ConneXion club that was in the original Watch Dogs game. This brought new lighting, better attention to detail of the buildings infrastructure and the multiple level capabilities in the game. This was the start of the games update cycle to 2.0 which was also shown to be an April fools joke before it got confirmed by Lisa. But also the start of the sad decline of players in the 3DXChat world because it had taken a long time before the 2.0 Beta had released from the original announcement ~2 months. Now, 2.0 Beta has been announced and a new client is released, a new major version of the game, which incorporates a major engine upgrade of Unity from version 4 - 5, which brings a ton of new upgrades, but what exactly? Mainly visually. Such as a better water shader, new graphics options, better lighting, time of day for locations and user rooms, as well as a new location the "Saloon". This was when the world population was starting to decrease because a lot of these updates were not what people wanted and were mainly fixes for the jump from Unity 4-5 with the 2.0 version. This then leads up to the official 2.0 Release.
 
3DXChat 2.0: During the official 2.0 client and release, there wasn't anything major that happened during this cycle as it was still being seen as the 3DXChat 2.0 Beta, but the update that I feel was the defining one for the 2.0 release was the Patch#344 update, which brought a few visual things to the game and the following patches after that to Patch#350 were better improvements to the game such as Offline Messaging. Then came the rush of new content for a short time, of a few months, a lot of poses were added for all orientations, granted the FF/MM animations were copied from the M/F to work with FF/MM users. Then led up to the 2.5 Beta or as I like to call the VR Update.
 
3DXChat 2.5 Beta VR: 3DXChat 2.5 released in the form of Patch#362 this was in April 2017. This brought VR support to 3DXChat, as well as new prints for clothes, new clothes in general and new animations and a Unity Engine update to version 5.5. It wasn't per-say a "Major" update as it brought on the VR capabilities in the game, new character editor room "The Loft", new props for the home editor. This "major" patch was heavily focused on the VR aspect as VR is becoming a more used technology now that you are able to buy an Oculus Rift for $349 which is a significant price drop to what it started out as in the original CS1 version. This version also brought in a different type of print style to clothes which was heavily influenced by the print style modders had managed to incoporate into the game prior to this. The game stagnated on this version for longer than it should have and was one of the big causes for population loss because the updates became far apart as if the developers may have gotten a bit burned out with the reiteration of the games Major versions/releases in a space of 1-2 years. And working on technology that took a lot of time that not many people use such as the VR. This led up to the new version of 3DXChat or as I call the World Editor Update.
 
3DXChat World Editor Update: This version isn't necessarily a numbered version, but the size and complexity of this update, puts it as an independent major version in itself. So for years, players of 3DXChat wanted to be free from the hard restraints we had in the previous versions of the games Room Editor. This was bypassed by modders for a long period of time to give players true freedom and not building to restrictions to be able to let their creativity flow and be put to work. This had brought on some amazing creations players had made from this, despite there being a lack of objects and materials to work with, but they did what they could do with what they were given and we got some amazing builds, some were absolutely ginormous! But this came at a cost, and had a significant performance impact on the game, which caused developers to put in restrictions on lights etc. Which were bypassed, but it was at your own discretion. This also had caused some serious troubles serverside, causing the server to crash at some points when rooms had reached a certain limit. As the build limit was removed. The developers used this opportunity to create the World Editor, which was probably the biggest update 3DXChat had received in years, and had revolutionized the game for many players. This attracted a lot of players and had caused a sharp increase in player population, this had been the boon 3DXChat needed. And there were many people playing, just by seeing the numbers in the Room List (Actual numbers aren't available sadly) this had gave the players the ultimate ability to create the room of their imagination and to truly put their creativity to the test. This had given the game a breath of new life and even though it steered it away a bit more from the "Sex Game" genre, it still brought a lot of people in to try out and play. But of course, as good as this update was, it caused the game to lack in other areas for a long period of time since it released, such as clothes, sex poses and just bug fixes in general. Now we lead up to 3DXChat 2.6 present day.
 
3DXChat 2.6 Beta: The 3DXChat 2.6 Beta came 1 year after the World Editor update in the form of a new Test server on Patch#376 this was an odd step for the developers to do as it essentially made a version of the game free for a short time albeit limited with some of the features and all data in the Beta was deleted. This was mainly to test the new game server and put it through it's paces, to stress test essentially and to report any bugs you find. This was mainly to incorporate the higher usage of server resources with the world editor bringing a lot more complexity to the processing of the game with the custom geometry data and the unlimited size the world can be, this of course put heavy stress on the server, which most likely was an old specc'd server from years prior and needed a fresh new upgrade on the hardware. This update brought a lot of significant updates to the world editor such as the Landscape tool and a ton of animations. This was the largest update the game had received since the editor itself was released. A ton of new animatons for people to play with and new landscape presets etc. This filled the void for a lot of content in the game that was missing during the year run up to this update, but it feels like a last minute update for animations to fill in for animations that people have asked for, for months. Then this leads up to the 2.6 official release.
 
3DXChat 2.6: The present day version of 2.6 was released based on feedback players had given to the developers during the test server beta test. This finalised the release of 2.6 with some bug fixes that were present in the 2.6 Beta and also upgraded the servers API, which means improved performance and stability. A lot of changes were reverted back to past updates due to various reasons I presume, GDPR probably being one of them. Some of these features were not welcomed much such as the namechange and sex change options. But some great QoL improvements were released, such as the improved Members Area, which shows your current subscription days left etc. Which is very much a welcomed feature.
 
Now begs the question.. Where do we go from here? What will 3DXChat 2.7 bring us, or 3.0 if they decide to skip a few versions? What can be done to help the 3DXChat world improve and suceed further than it already has, as I have recently returned and I have done a lot of analysis of the games development since I left, and it's just... Not there? So what can be done, how can it be done?

What does 3DXChat need more than anything else? Feedback is of course welcome! And I will add my own two cents on where it can go from here and how it can improve, from my own opinion in bullet points:
 
Improved 64Bit client: As 32Bit OS's are becoming obsolete and eventually won't exist anymore. This will already bring a ton of improvements, mainly for RAM handling, to alllow the game to not be as restricted by the 3.5-4GB RAM limit of a 32Bit application. Especially as GPU vendors such as Nvidia and AMD have dropped 32Bit support on their GPUs for windows. New world editor tools: Such as Splines, Custom Landmass (Will be unlikely due to the processing power required when building and configuring). Improved Character editor: To incorporate additional features, such as different skin textures, face presets, body presets, accessories such as piercings. Improved animation rigging: Adding additional bones to the model to allow for higher quality animations, with a longer Frame cycle to allow for a smoother animated experience. Sound presets: To allow variations with sound in the game, such as voices for moans, sounds for sex itself. Redundant network infrastructure: So if a server node goes down, SSD dies, Server Crashes, PSU Explodes etc. The system automatically assigns the game server to another machine, to avoid the game being down and instead you get a slight hiccup. As I see the 3DX Forum has some major troubles with being up recently with host timeouts. Budgeting: Budget your game income to each area of the development team, if something is lacking, and no time is available to fulfill it or it is too much work to handle amongst other things, perhaps outsource some of the work of X to freelancers/contractors to fulfill that area for the next update cycle. Do not be ashamed to admit if an update or feature is too complicated to implement, outsource it to those whose specialty it is in that area of development. Improved security: This is a big one especially as GDPR is a thing now in the EU, if security is lacking, it can cause multiple breaches of GDPR and cause some serious troubles, one of which was a program people often used to find in game details of said people which breached the GDPR law. Always budget 20% per year of your game income to upkeep/security, to keep the infrastructure secure and running smooth. Improved Communication: This has always been a long term problem in 3DX, that there is often a lack of communication between the community and SexGameDevil, explore different avenues to improve communication between yourselves and the community and stick to it. This is a crucial stage in any type of development is consumer feedback. As at the end of it, they are the ones who will be receiving the updates. Improved Forum: There's already a topic about this with some extremely solid points in, that could improve the forum a ton. The forum needs reworking, perhaps set it up on a new, more powerful machine and have the current forum in an archived URL, where people can still go to get any old stuff they posted etc. And have the new forum, fresh and all members accounts transferred over, to start a fresh and avoid hitting a soft limit of content on the forum, causing the server it's on to begin to struggle and often crash.  
Closing words: So I hope this post was informative for you all. Sorry to have waffled on with it, but I have been analysing a lot of the forum recently and the development cycle since being back and have found many troubles with some things both with the game and the forum there is a lot of work, and hopefully with some serious feedback and solid discussion about how the game is currently, that SexGameDevil know where to go next with their project to keep improving up on it and making it overall a great experience and world to be a part of.
