On their main page (e-frontier / Curious Labs) click on the "Company" tab and look under the "Bios" option. It lists the top four head honchos. Larry Weinberg, the creator of Poser, is still involved. Katherine Howard is an old name too.

The "About Poser" option under the Help section of your Poser program menu might also be a good place to search for names, though I've no idea which of those, if any, are still active.

If Steve Cooper gets your mail he might be able to help still, if he's stayed on good terms with folk there. I've no idea about the background to the big crunch, but I liked Steve and he seemed a helpful guy (too forthright for a lot of sensitive forum peeps ;-)).

"...you over at PP most of the time?"

Heh. No, I stopped going there under the, er, previous management. I haven't returned since (apart from a couple of very brief lurks). Rendo is pretty much it for my online graphics existence, such as it is. Bryce forum mostly.

I checked into this thread because Im impressed by your Girl Next Door item to the extent of being close to buying. Your store seems to be justifiably flourishing.
