You're leaving messages on a part of Content Paradise. It's not a Curious Labs toy, nor an EGIsys toy, it's the marketplace here and perhaps a couple of other sites. CL take a profit cut from the stores that have opted in - which I believe comes out of their profit cut from the vendors. Not sure who else if anyone is involved - probably find RDNA in there as they provided content for Poser 5. Competitor for Daz? They've had that in spades for a couple years. Renderosity, 3DCommune and all the little places dotted around the net. This place has probably been the largest competitor. Why isn't Content Paradise running yet? Hrrm, better to ask Curious Labs and Renderosity. Probably server integration and software more than anything else. Curious Labs missed the boat with content provision. Missed it so dramatically they're probably still draining the harbour out of their clothes. Daz are used to competition in the field of content and they appear to have grown with it. The future should be interesting we'll see who manages to survive it - if anyone.
