Toyhou.se

Toyhouse is overall an amazing website with many useful features that help artist with their work. You can store characters, sell them, create worlds for roleplaying and story telling, create literatures, etc. It is truly heaven for some of us and incredibly useful.

However, if you ever need to report something, the chances of anything being done are below 1%, no matter if predator, scammer or someone who is harrassing you. The changes and improvements on the website are incredibly slow, and even after 4 or 5 years, the website is still on beta (which is why you need a code to log in). There is only one staff member for the whole website with over 3k users active daily and that is, obviously, not nearly enough. I now have over 20 reports sitting in the report section and none of them get answered, and I had even more on my old account. I don't know why the owner doesn't add mods or admins, but it makes it really hard to deal with sometimes. There are many people who simply do not listen to the rules and post things they're not supposed to, most commonly uncensored NSFW despite the many minors on the website, and weird OCs romanticizing terrible things (in that case most commonly nazi oc's).

Overall there are many nice people, but since it takes ages to receive any sort of action from the owner, there's a few bad apples laying around where the only way of protection is a block.

Other than that, it's a nice website and once it is off beta and it will have more staff, I will definitely recommend it. But right now? Never, no matter how much I love the site.

This website is great for finding unique artists and original characters. That's the main function of the website, and it's simply just that.

I'm an avid toyhouse user, even bought premium in fact to customise the pages. I also have a few gripes with the website.

Note this is coming from an individual who is Over 18, a part of the closed species sphere and nsfw artist.

Pros
- The site has good customisability even without premium to decorate your pages.
- the organisation tools are great
- the message boards are fairly helpful on some occassions
- like all sites there are some nice people.
- does what it sets out to do which is create a big character organiser
-trigger warning tab just in case

Cons
- rampant with under 18's lying about their age.
- complaint tickets often dont get responded to for a while.
- need an invitation to acsess the site
- the interface can be hard to learn at first especially when none of it is really explained.
-like all sites, often does come into contact with z**philes ans p*dophiles, only difference is not much is done about it on this site.

If you stick to just using toyhouse as a storage site for your chars you can avoid the crap pretty much and just stick to linking it you shouldn't really face any issues
If youre still interested in the site ill leave my disc if you want an invite code to the site BRONZE#0002

I spent a few quiet months on Toyhou.se, and my experience degraded very quickly over this time. I would not suggest anyone ever sign up for this site if they can get a code, if you have any integrity whatsoever as a creator.

First of all, this site does not promote creative freedom. If the large, toxic community does not agree with something you write, you will be harassed incessantly.

I was personally told I was "suspicious" for venting often about a topic close to my heart and that affects me in real life: being short and often compared to a child for genetics that I CANNOT CHANGE (except, in some rare cases, with extremely expensive and invasive surgery that I have no interest in taking part in). I have been on the internet since the advent of AOL, I guarantee I am older than most of the people on Toyhou.se (especially given the childish way they react to anything they dislike), and I can and will live my life as an adult because I am, legally, an adult, and have been for a while. But because I am short (genetics), have small hands and feet (genetics), like to wear clothing that hides my body (personal choice to combat social anxiety as well as comforting because I'm autism spectrum) - anyone who interacts with me is somehow a pedophile, and I am a pedophile for defending people with similar genetics as well as characters that have these traits but are legally adults. This is offensive to a staggering degree.

Make a neocities or something and store your characters there. Do not give Toyhou.se the money they do not deserve - mods do nothing about this system where the forums are a toxic mess of people shrieking "CP" at things that are not and getting the entire site to defend their asinine views.
