Well, I'm certainly not a business-minded person, but I think I can recognize a good idea. DAZ "appropriated" PoserPros...they got good and dedicated people with good sense. And a ready-made forum. They could hired thier own, developed a forum, and integrated it to thier site, but this seems like a good-sense move to me. Corps do it all the time instead of starting from scratch. I don't think Russel and Mehndi "sold out". I think they made a decision that many in their shoes would have made. Otherwise, they run the risk of trying to fulfill thier dreams while faltering like other "Poser" sites have done. I think everone needs to give it a chance and stop mulling over how it's going to affect themselves. I have faith in the founders of PoserPros AND those who operate DAZ.
