  • No advertising or promotion: **Summary:** Do not advertise, promote, or “stealth market” anything – *especially* if it’s paid/monetized. This is a community for connecting with your peers, not a place to find customers or an audience.

When was r/3Dmodeling created?

r/3Dmodeling was founded in January 2011 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.
