Im not sure how serious you are but I hope you at least learn from this experience. When you make a proposal you need to have your plans well thought out and your research completed. You lacked all the basics in your post there was no plan there was no research you just have an idea and want everyone to jump in and have the same faith as you. That is unfortunately not how things work. If you swallowed your pride a bit and answered all the questions it would have benefited you more than you can realise as there are some really knowlegable people on here from most fields. But good luck.

Here's the thing. We've had people calling us for years; time share, stock trading programs, cell phone contracts, water purifiers etc etc. They deliberately obscure what it's about, since they have a bad rep and dish up a candy coated turd. Then they expect you to make a magical leap of faith and blindly allow somebody you don't know into your house, or expect you to sacrifice your time to go listen to some marketing drivel. Only once you start digging you uncover the abuse, the deliberate violation of legal obligations ito privacy, smoke and mirrors etc.

So however noble (or not) your intentions ... what differentiates you? You will claim you have no ulterior motives. But so did a 1000 before you. So can I blame the MyBB members for being skeptical? No.

Alwyn, can you honestly blame them?

When I stopped at a robot and the guy waiting for a job tuned "give me R2 for a gwaai ek se" I may have said no, but at least he knew what he wanted and managed to put it forward in an easy way for me to understand. Now perhaps I was a bad potential investor, I don't agree with smoking and I sure as hell am not supporting his bad habit that he cant even afford to support. Surely someone who smokes will come by him, sympathise, reminiscing on that time when they didn't have that smoke their body so urgently craved, and swing him R2. At the end of the day, this guy didn't say "oi, give me R2, I'll tell you why next Thursday" (although that actually sounds far more intriguing now that I wrote it down). Either way point stands - people who have painstakingly grown their businesses, show healthy profits and fantastic future forecasts fail to land an investor.

Now, coming to this sales pitch, it is akin to a possum and a badger walk into a bar, and I'm using a badger here because they are AWESOME!!! (my favourite word - awesome, not badger, even though badgers a ****in WAY AWESOME!!!), the bartender asks what will you have, and the possum pipes up and says 1 half of something and 2 halves of another, because 2 halves make a whole which coincidentally sounds like hole but not spelt the same way, but anyway so the possum and the badger climb through the hole to their pirate ship, because everyone has a pirate ship that they pay COSATU 2 bob five pineapples for decked out chrome dashboards and a pink mast to "sale" (not to be confused with sail) the seven sands of the great desert of iceland. Since we are now at sales we will be making the money off hi tech chromodek signage that far too many companies supply already but because everyone uses them at some point, why don't those companies give away those signs, or people can pay (whatever not our business LOL) but we will then make money off those signs - because they already exist - it's genius really. And if you guys are still interested in how chromadek signs, a badger and a possum can bring in millions, scratch that - BILLIONS!!! come see me next thursday. PS if you guys aren't super ****tard excited to come chat to me on google hangouts cruising on my Pentium 2 (with the old school slot in card type CPU nogal - like a fokin boss - do you guys remember those CPUs? they were so weird but cool in equal measures on the richter scale - still need to buy the CPU though - how much you reckon it'll cost???) I will cry and hide in my room until my mom comes and comforts me and then I can finally confide that the pastor used to touch me and I kind of enjoyed it but then I saw that documentary about how it's wrong so now I feel awkward because it was bad but I kind of enjoyed it and that makes me confused.

NOW... what part of that doesn't make everyone not wanna jump out of their seats and sign on board for FREE work? Or did I miss something in the sales pitch?

Having read that, you make me feel like the hen looking at a scrambled egg, saying: "My poor mixed up child!"

What an absolute trainwreck of a business plan. People would have to be utter lunatics to waste their time on unintelligible vapour like this.
