Better perhaps! A new site (based on former admins and merchants) with the same ethos may well have formed. To develop a site that would support the number of admins and merchants that PP had would take money ... either to transfer the existing content or to develop an entirely new back end and storefront. Poser Pros wasn't built in a day, and a new site won't happen that quickly either. The easiest and best solution for the PoserPros community was to have someone purchase it. And there weren't really very many candidates that would have that kind of cash. DAZ and CL were the most likely candidates. There isn't anything to stop anyone from starting a new community, it will just take time to nurture and grow it.
