what are you even looking to do? social media? digital development? corporate industrial development? some of these avenues have much higher success rates than others, and it behooves you to know what offers you your best chance of sustained longevity.

as for myself; i consider my time only worthwhile for projects with promise. my offer still stands as per my response earlier in this thread, but i'd like to know more about what you have in mind before promising anything or donating my time.

thanks and again, best of luck.

EDIT: not like myself to leave a comment devoid of snark. Here you go!

That forum has been abandoned quite a while ago though. One of the concerns was that information that you post there will belong to proboards.

So why not just do it here, on the forum that belongs to us and not third company: http://forum.shadowera.net/index.php...hip;request=28

You need to request membership and me or Gondorian can add you, after that you'll be able to see hidden board.

Thanks for the advice, Ekoz. I've been sitting on a bunch of ideas for up to 7 years and then have had some others recently. I don't want to share any on the forum here though. I'll compile a list of people who are potentially interested, which I believe you are, and then work out how I share the ideas in a low-risk way.
