Daz was a great place and it too is a shadow of what it used to be. Neither got the way they have because of the community... they both got there because somewhere, someone decided that the community no longer mattered, that the sharing and free spirit of the artists that built them into the sites they both have become, was less important that making a buck on the backs of the artists that got them there.

Actually, DAZ has all but flat out said that the community on DAZ is irrelevant (their words were more along the line of that complaints and trends on the forums are the opposite of sales, and that the overwhelming majority of their customers never post on the forums and probably never even visit them)
