The problem is, we don't need a new site. And with the cost of new sites come hosting, and a whole bevy of other costs innate to the project. You have to worry about legal ramifications. Starting an incorporation so that you are protected from the legal backdraft that can occur, people DDOSing your site. In short, you have to become more than a development team, but an entire business structure. Some of us want to just be developers and sharpen the saw, as it were, in the off time, but we have no interest in having to form an entire business. That's why you're more likely to get people who want to work on something with an established business in place, instead of something that is completely new on the business front.
However, I was willing to make a new site, and I do know of other furs out there who are working on their own little skunkworks, but convincing them to go live and make it into a business is a lot harder. You have to understand, we see the customers out there in furry, and we know the shit Neer and others go through. Generally, we don't want to be involved in all that, we just want to code :P
