1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Going too far in general - Artistic vision vs offensive content

Jan 17, 2012

    1. The only time I want to see the brakes put on is when people in our local community do things at meets or post things on our Facebook page that really aren't appropriate to expose the kids to (we have a number of under 18 members) or things that might really upset certain members. If you want to warn people "here's a link to my explicit photostory and it's NSFW" then it's their problem if they go look at it. If you do it in public or just post photos that everyone has to end up seeing then you're being an arse and might just get our group in trouble. An example would be the person who posted an explicit photo and comment about his doll surfing the internet for porn and er, um, making himself happy on our Facebook page. If it was under a link, totally fine. Having it pop up as a new message in a thirteen year old's email without a content warning...not cool.

      DOA members are usually awesome about putting warnings in headers so people who give them problems about something they purposely looked at are ridiculous. And there are those folks who are offended by *everything*. Personally I think if you flip out because you see a naked doll, goths, gore mod, gay couples, smoking/drinking, smexiness or fantasy/magical portrayals you are totally in the wrong hobby ;)
