Welcome to the "Web Projects" forums. Before you post, make sure you've selected the correct category based on the size of your project (in US dollars), or whether it is a partnership or "looking for work" request instead. Observe the guidelines for this section:
To all thread starters, check your "pm" box for responses, as that's how bidders will be communicating with you mainly using. You can turn on new pm notification by going to "User CP"-> "Edit Options"-> "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages".
To respondents, avoid replying to a thread with a short generic response like "pm sent" as much as possible. It is pointless and clutters up the screen.
To respondents, don't reply to a work request with a summary of your resume. If you're not willing to spend the time to at least read the request and respond specifically to the request, then don't reply. The Web Projects forum isn't a place to get your resume/ portfolio posted on as many threads as possible, it's for the direct, human interaction between coder and client. Members who blanket the forums with their resume replies will be treated as spammers and banned.
To all thread starters, please update your thread's prefix to "resolved", when you've found a coder for your project or partnership (or wish to terminate the request). This is so coders don't waste time bidding on an invalid project. To do this, click on the "Edit" button under the first post of the thread, then the "Go Advanced" button. You have 14 days to update your thread's title.
A revolutionary Freelancing site Idea [Looking for a group of experts]
Hello,
I have a revolutionary idea which would turn around the freelancing world (I am not in the mood of jokes right now). I am serious about this.
I would reveal all about what this idea is, basically freelancing is a huge trend going on and we already have tons of place job get bids ??? profit kind of sites.
What I have is a COMPLETELY different approach and also a viable and optimistic approach.
I want to partner up with some web devs and gurus, investors in this project, please note if all goes well this would be the next biggie (I am so confident about this).
Please Pm me if you are really interested in this and provide in the PM the sites in which you have worked before.
PM's from non-trustworthy members who PM me just for getting the idea out will be ignored. Only serious persons.

Judging from your post above, I would say you most definitely are, because if that is the way you approach people with a serious proposition, it can only be construed as a joke.
A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "Why the long face?"
Two guys walk into a bar. The third guy ducks!
A priest, a rabbi, and a minister walk into a bar... Oh, wait. Nevermind! You're not in the mood.
But seriously, if you're so confident about the success of this idea you should probably get investors first (or put up your own money), and then get PAID coders second. Coders aren't widely known to take gambles on unpaid work for the chance at being "partners" on a project (the main exception being a pair of coders both working for free on something that they enjoy - but that means both parties are taking the same loss, which is not the case in your scenario here).
unless you're planning on waiting around for someone who is either gullible or just plain stupid. No-one else would even begin to consider committing to something with the amount of info you have supplied, and also due to the way in which you have approached this matter so far.
also for consideration... if you have no cash and feel your idea it that good, check out http://www.techstars.org/... if you get in you get 3 months to dev project and present to multi-million investors
I have to say... that techstars is an awesome concept. I would love to do THAT for a summer.
had a shot at it (and i live in denver- near boulder) but the dude who was the "marketing wiz" decided to act like he was five and threw a tantrum and tanked the entire project
