Couldn't they have been an independent?

It's more a matter of not reaching the ticket goal they had. But to answer your questiton, AHL bylaws prohibit teams from going independent.

This surprises me. Cincinnati used to have two teams, i.e. one IHL and one AHL, and one would think that they would be able to unite all those fans behind one team and be really successful.

as detailed on the Death Pool Report @ Prohockeynews.com:

Cincinnati may have lost its chance to be a part of hockey affiliated with the AHL, as this topic suggests, but the IHL never exists anymore due to finances, but the stunning development is why the ECHL elected to announce the return of the Cyclones days after the decision by the Robinsons to not start this October, but there will be hockey in Cincinnati, as compared to this time last year.

Just so you all know, the team is coming to Tecumseh Ontario (short drive from Ohio) to a brand new 6500 seat arena/horse racing track/slots facility to be complete by 2008.
