Quote - erm you missed when we were asked to conform to the TOS in the coop then....? you know.. stop all the attacks, cut back on the calling each other names etc. as in change the way the coop was setup? I'd call that altered...

I guess I had - because the name-calling and whatnot was shut down by the old PPros staff in mid-2004. ;) -- > Quote - You're assuming that the valuable asset they bought was the content - I think the customer base they bought is at least as valuable. I don't know why you think brand recognition and brand loyalty do not apply to a content vendor website, I know in my own Poser shopping habits I bought nearly exclusively from DAZ3d.com and renderosity.com.

I don't discount it entirely, but it is negligible at best, esp. when compared to automobiles... Also, most of the folks who posted in PPros also happily posted elsewhere, so it's not as if they were gaining a new customer base. /P
