How many complaining about porn and nudity here are from the USA, are Conservative/Republican/MAGA/Evangelical - and will vote for a convicted Rapist and Con Man in 2024 thinking he he the new Jesus? I am not American, not Religious, and raised 3 sons who RESPECT women, lgbtqia, and everyone. They have no issues with nudity, but here in Europe nudity isn't something considered something to be ashamed of.
I wonder sometimes if people who bitch and moan about nudity and claim "Jesus this and The Bible that..." realize how stupid they sound.
My sons didn't wait until they turned 18 to discover they had penises between their legs, and girls have vaginas, breasts and nipples. They grew up with other kids of different genders and gender identities and it was a non-issue. They have non-binary, cis/trans and the whole spectrum in their lives. We have friends of all religious persuasions, however the moment they start condemning others, we distance ourselves from them. Atheists, Hindus, Jewish, Islam, Catholic, Protestant all are equal choices, the moment someone spouts off to me THEIR MORALITY - it is just THAT - theirs. They have NO RIGHT to tell me that my Religion/Beliefs/or non-beliefs are WRONG just because it contradicts their Religion/Beliefs.
That being said - This site is for sharing/pirating things we ask for and want.
The figures are NUDE and have normal body parts, we won't let Rampant FUCKING or SEXUAL imagery on here on purpose. Also, I personally find violence being glorified in Renders to be as distasteful as seeing someone getting group fucked in a Bukkake scene in an open forum.
We don't have tags to block things from snowflake sensitivies, why you are here if you expect to be in a nunnery is beyond me.
Get over it.

Moderator@perper350 the invite link is in the first post, but if you don't have a Discord account you cannot join.
I suggest creating a Discord account with your ZoneGFX nickname, so you remain anonymous. And then use the invite code and join it then.

AnjaBear.DBF is a database file from the dBase days...
Is there really a DBF file in there? If so, that file can be deleted as it isn't used by Daz Studio.

AnjaBearI think you are missing the point with the new Requests System - No one is FORCING YOU TO REQUEST ANYTHING. The 500 Points is the baseline set by the management for wanting to be first in line to receive a product - the products once received by all involved in the REQUEST itself who paid the higher number of points - are the exact people helping to get the products for you "low earning people" as you put it - to get them for 50 points in the Blog - sooner than never at all.
That you say the site is a MESS, I say that is absolutely wrong. The Request system allows the person who shares an item up to a 30-day release date into the BLOG, the reason for this is so that those items do not end up on every PAY SITE out there competing with us.
Up to now, every other site on the Internet sharing products got their products from ZoneGFX's Request shares or the Blog. So if you think running to another site for items is better, yet they need us to get their inventory, well go right ahead.
To address your last point:
The new thing is unfair for people who have little money or resource points and only a few get it all on the first day, before this was not like that, making a website with privileges for the poor and the rich is horrible, I have nothing more than say.
The only reason people have no points on here and claim to be the poor, as opposed to VIP or privileged, is because they do not PARTICIPATE in sharing anything. I don't call them poor - I call them LEECHERS. If you browse the REQUESTS section, there is a little button that says FILL REQUEST - and you can upload your purchased product matching the request to a MEGA, Google or other sharing account, and simply post the link into the FILL REQUEST screen, and all the points gathered up by others, will go to you. Some of these requests offer over 10,000 points. No reason anyone should whine and say they are poor when they could gather 10,000 points with one request fill. And some of the request items when on sale cost like $1.99 or $4.99, so not having enough points is just an excuse.
Everyone has a couple of minutes to look through the Requests, see the tally of all the points offered under the main image and see if they own it, or have it, then share it with that Request, and BINGO - the points are YOURS.
I hope I made my point.
The addition of this new system has streamlined our processes and in just the first weeks of implementation, we have received tons of new items shared which would have sat in the old system for months. We got them in less than 24 hours.

AnjaBearCLOSING THIS THREAD FOR MALICIOUS DAMAGE CAUSE TO ZONEGFX
I received a listing today of many members who participated in this thread who have announced their departure from ZoneGFX and their refusal to ever again post shares to the Requestors.
We have lost some very very good people, many who were people I considered friends for many years and I cannot figure out WHAT WENT WRONG.
I'm convinced that a number of outside sources including Vendors from sites like RenderHub, Renderosity etc, and other sites like for-pay sites have put some people up to creating conspiracy theories about us, (myself included - which considering I have been under Chemotherapy for Cancer for months - I have no time to be involved in such bullshit).
I was told by Richard Yan that many of my favorite share persons have left ZoneGFX and it broke my heart to hear this.
What is the purpose of destroying ZoneGFX and taking away 90% of all the best share folks from us? It can only mean one thing - a vendetta against Hunter, a vendetta against ZoneGFX as a whole, or a plot of another site to destroy us and our good community - which it appears has been successful in 8 pages of thread here.
I AM CLOSING THIS, and UNTIL I HEAR FROM THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED TO JUSTIFY THEIR ACTIONS, AND KNOW WHY - I WILL DELETE ANY SUBSEQUENT THREADS DEALING WITH THIS SUBJECT MATTER.
I'm protecting what remains of ZoneGFX and the Requests section. Anyone attacks me or any moderator or user for it, I will demand their removal from the site.
Sincerely AnjaBear,
Requests Moderator
ZoneGFXDoes this mean no one has to buy Daz Assets ever again??? It looks like the AI creates images and characters anyway you like, with Daz Assets, but you don't have to pay for those assets as the AI uses EVERYTHING in the store!
How is that going to work out for the vendors?
TAFI took over Daz3D and doesn't realize that the CORE Base of users are poorer people who cannot afford the ridiculous prices they are now charging.
They've pretty much killed their Hobbyist market, and beginners cannot afford much in the store, at 17-20 USD apiece and bundles costing non Daz++ members over 100-200 USD.
I'm trying to figure out where this is going and where it will actually head.
Unity has introduced its own AI, and it looks Amazeballs.
But the question of ETHICAL AI is the big cliffhanger for many REAL TRADITIONAL ARTISTS who are being exploited and having all their works scraped and stolen and used to train AI like Stable Diffusion.

AnjaBear@monkseye can someone tell me how to put that link into JDownloader2 and make it do something?
I have no idea how the program works.
Thanks if anyone can help stupid me!

MY TAKE ON THIS ISSUE:
You guys realize that if we use the conventional hosting sites, thanks to 3DUK and RenderHub vendors relentlessly reporting the blog posts non-stop, we could simply throw our hands up and shut the site down. You guys know that you can buy a Privacy Screen Protector for every type of SmartPhone, Laptop, MacBook, or Flatscreen that prevents ANYONE from seeing what is on your screen (available at Amazon, Walmart, and most electronic stores), if you don't want to install AdBlockPlus or uBlock Origin to keep the popups, of any kind from flashing in your face...
We've found solutions to keep products UP and available for everyone here, and I don't think a silly NSFW boobie or sex-ad or viagra solution is anything new or disturbing. I usually don't see them because I do use AdBlockPlus and uBlock Origin to keep them out of my face.
Another thing - when the site was showing the download link site as "MEGA.nz" guess what? All the lovely copyright infringing Wrap-folks at RenderHub, like 3DUK, Bulgaria, RomFX and others who have accounts here, spent the points they have to get the MEGA link attached to their product, and then file a DMCA Takedown Notice with MEGA... Guess what? MEGA doesn't waste a second checking if the person claiming they own something actually owns it... they simply give the owner of the MEGA reported, a strike, and after 3 strikes they take your entire MEGA account down, whether you are a paying MEGA customer or not.
You can write MEGA in retaliation claiming they are copyright infringers and do not own copyright - but there is no one at MEGA going to take time to respond.
As a moderator, you cannot imagine how many of our users have been attacked for sharing such stuff that was ripped from games and the vendors attacked us for their copyright-infringing products they should not be allowed to legally sell.
But today, with all that is going on in the Art Communities with AI stealing millions of artists works, no one company is going to waste any time on this.
The brute force takedown stuff is annoying, but we found alternatives where the ownership of those alternatives won't touch or read DMCA Takedown Notices and are relatively untouchable. Which is why you are seeing Bunkr more often. Unfortunately, we cannot use TORRENTS here, or we would lose the site due to restrictions placed on its servers.
Summary: we are going to do everything possible to make sure products here stay up and are pretty much bombproof, and if the cost to everyone is seeing a couple porny banners, then do as we suggested and add the popup blockers and ad-blockers. And if they still pop-up, buy a screen shield so no one sees the stuff from the side of your position. They make them for laptops and for flatscreens.
I personally could give a rat's-arse about nude images, but I don't live in a place where nudity is an issue. So you need to take precautions to prevent your eyes from seeing something naked on screen. But it is simple and can be done. And - using OTHER SOURCES, not naming Bunkr or Mega.nz or Google or Mediafire directly forces those wishing to take us down, to spend points and get the files sources. And then they have to go contact those sources and hope they can get things taken down. Google and Mediafire require written proof of copyright ownership as far as I am aware. So it will take time, by then those files will have been propagated to hundreds of other share sites elsewhere, unrelated to us.
And lastly - I know for a fact, those vendors who bitch the most and try to take down their items have amazing numbers of points - from sharing and trading other vendors' assets...
So on one side defending their stuff and pirating everyone elses? Hypocrites.

AnjaBearHOW TO DOWNLOAD LARGER MEGA FILES WITH FREE MEGA ACCOUNTS:
On the MEGA ACCOUNT PAGE it lists "Mega Achievements" (see image above), it offers you the ability to install MEGA DESKTOP APP which allows you to download above the limit, once you have added it to the download, the app will note if it has too much, and keep it in the queue - and once the hour or so time elapses it will continue download the big file.
I have only FREE MEGA accounts and this method lets me download stuff like the HUGE billboard things and hair stuff from Linday which is over 6GB most times. The Billboards are sometimes up to 23GB for one product...
Hope this helps!

Moderator@ezdoss are you on the Discord server? we could talk about it there if you wish.
AnjaBear
Discord link is listed as a sticky on the General Forum listing.
Could you guys tell me who this user is, by name, so I can look at their Blog Posts and determine if they are actually doing something WRONG?
I try to be fair with everyone (keep in mind REQUESTS is my main area of Moderation, but I can assist in other areas too) Only @Hunter can ban or block or fix accounts for users, no one else has that level of permissions here, just him.
If we determine something is going on that is against our TOS or just not right, I will discuss it with the other Mods and Hunter and we will take action.
Thanks for pointing this stuff out!
Cheers,
AnjaBearYou might try contacting the 5 of us moderators, one of us can help you out.
you need to include the ZONE Blog Link to the product to be taken down.
Also you need to let us know if we should only temporarily take it offline, so you can setup new download links, suggested is 4 links on 4 different platforms, so that it will take a while for all of them to be taken down.You decide.
Include a mention to the mods:
Hunter, Monkseye, AnjaBear, Warrant63, EelgooOne of us will jump on it. We are all in different time Zones so someone will get the message and handle it for you.
Cheers,
AnjaBearI'm fully behind all of you. I will be adding a DISCORD Channel Section for Torrent Info (no linking), so we don't break DISCORD's TOS and lose the Server.
But we can TALK ABOUT IT and have private discussions via PMs that won't break the TOS in the SERVER space.
I'm going to take the invite code down so the space isn't open to the public anymore.
And I will prune non-users out.
I'd like to get the VENDORS out of there too if we discover who they are.
AnjaBear
