I've been wanting to set up an artist community for a while. I am just getting started, but there is a lot of customizability here. I can upload my own logo, banner, and user-reaction icons; I can also name my own post categories, set up subforums, and choose to make the community public or private, and customize the privacy policy, terms and rules.

Community members will be able to post their photos and illustrations (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, and svg (I don't think svg is mentioned in the options window when uploading, but it works, which will be important to our community to share designs)). Community members can also add links to their YouTube-video walkthroughs and speed drawings to play directly in the post, to accompany the images of their work.

The one thing I am hoping for soon, if it's not already possible, is to hide/ turn off the community sign-up form on the private community login splash page, other than that, I think this is a platform I am going to use every day.
