I've been itching to start something like neopets, but different, for a while now. Nothing as lame as gaiaonline, something with a purpose & real competition involved. I'd do the graphics, and essentially put the site together, but I have very little knowledge of PHP and flash. I'd need someone who is skilled in these to help me start a development team. You'd need some free time to work on this project, but I believe it'd be a great way to start earning some money one day. If anyone's interested, please let me know. It's so hard to find skilled programmers.
Dude, I would love to help with content and I am pretty good at drawing. But not so great at programming.
