pish idea.
if its by invite only then your just going to get the same old wankers thinking they are the elite, theres never going to be the chance of fuckwitts suddenly butting in and giving their tuppence of crap - no matter how crap - sometimes its just nice to get away from the same ol same ol.
maybe thats why so many people get lynched on here lol.
forums should be open to everyone and thats where you'll get the freshest ideas.
Threadless was thought up by one of the guys who used to frequent dreamless.org after a comp on dreamless to design a tshirt for the dreamless seminars that ran alongside the flash forward ones and REALLY helped to boost web design and development, making some people really famous amongst their peers really fast by allowing them to show off their skills in flash and design.
if you want to get famous for something, then think of an original idea. it could be so simple that its stupid!
muxtape.com
anyone of us couldve done this. but did we?!ebay.com
online auctions, simple = genius!threadless.com
great idea now going downhill and too many clone businesses.qbn.com
originally newstoday.com, started off small - open to EVERYONE - is now massive. what makes it so genius is that its all populated by users.

I don't the think the username Dust_Mine is really working out for you, I'd take a couple of days off, read through your threads/posts find out where you keep going wrong and start again!
I don't think Spam_Whore is taken?

looks like this is successful in its own way with various submissions!
put all your efforts into this rather than getting diluted with other ideas- problem is, it's been done, and better:

Rybo, despite the massive amount of abuse you're getting here, there is a lot of truth in these comments. Maybe reflect on them a bit, take what is useful, ignore the comedians, and then try again.

Sorry, can be arsed to read the 90 odd comments but out of curiosity -
If you are creating a community for the best of the best, aren't the "best of the best" usually pretty damn busy and don't spend their time on message boards?
What exactly is the appeal of a 'secret' community, outside of being a freemason?
Is your "pipline [sic] dream" really to run a message board? Don't you want to make any cash off this? And if so, if it's secret and there's like 5 people there, how are you attracting ad sales or anything else?

looks like I missed the party. But I brought snacks.

dust, you should have a look at guys like this for inspiration; these are the true design rockstars

in particular pay attention to how the man balances photorealism and complete fantasy to create a true artistic masterpiece in this work:

behold; the face of genius

More importantly, if you are creating a community for the best of the best, isn't having a shit design a major impediment?

lol rybo - u do crack me up

what about CRITMYSHIT.COM ?
It could be a site where people can post up EVERY piece of work they do to be crit'd by their peers. Every little details is covered so in fact you dont even have to do any 'good' design, your peers will do all that for you.
It seems to me that you are being influenced fairly heavily by certain design styles like TDR etc but you aint quite there, spend some time and tighten things up a little.
It also seems like you are on a quest for instant fame - as if youd just appeared on bigbro. In the web world you've got to have something worthy of being heralded as GREAT to be put on that pedestal.

If gmunk, Cina and Davis all came in here to comment right now, I think there would be a tear in the fabric of time and the world would instantly flash back to 2001. Zeldman would be ranting about Netscape, Nielsen would still be bald and Lentil would still be making bank with her glorious vector circles.
Is it farting for you now?
