Submit my ideas to your "archival" site or "extensive" flash drive so they, on the outside chance, could be used by someone else to profit?

The Space Oddity has something to say about that.

No.

[TLEberle]

Have you actually gotten permission to keep any of those documents? My guess is that they're still the property of the owner, and you can't just snatch them like that.

And barring that, you shouldn't.

[Allstar87]

Why, you're in luck! We had a whole thread full of them six years ago!

Circle Run's gonna be the next big hit, mark my words.

[snowpeck]

Yeah, this doesn't sound like something that's anywhere close to being legally kosher.  And if any idea of mine is in the "archive," I kindly ask for it to be promptly deleted.

Absolutely not. But wow, you had the nerve to ask.

I have about two dozen ideas (eight different concepts with three variations each).  Unfortunately, they're in PDF format.  Can I contribute them in that format, or do I need to type them in Word?

[BrandonFG]

I'm kinda shocked that my concept from six years ago hasn't been made into a show. Wait...(*light bulb goes off*) You all saw nothing...NOTHING I tell you!

[Loogaroo]

I'll bet that there are quite a few ideas archived on your flash drive that belong to me. Delete them.

In fact, unless they're your creations (and I doubt many of them are) or you have express permission to use them (and I doubt that you do), you should be deleting them all.

[TLEberle]

I shall ask the same. Granted, I never posted anything terribly original or interesting, they're still my intellectual property, not yours. Delete them.

[clemon79]

Y'all realize your deletion requests / demands / et. al. aren't going to happen, right?

[TLEberle]

YEah, but I think it's better to have it out there. Of course, I don't know exactly what "this huge project" is. If he knows someone with the power to turn my half-baked ideas into reality, he could do better than my futile/feeble workings of 25 Words or Less and Farkle. For sure.

[clemon79]

My guess, strictly a guess, is that he plans to use this content for a website. But, again, that is a COMPLETE wild-assed guess. (And also completely inappropriate, on that we all agree, I think.)

well to be honest i don't know anyone i live in a small town about 90 or so miles away from cleveland basically in amish country. i know no one in game show world i'm just a game show fan and would like to see more ideas out there from people much smarter than me when it comes to game show ideas. i have never had a orignal idea in my head.

so TLEberle you ideas will be safe. i do not wish to sell anything  that  you come up with the same goes for all of you i just want to see some ideas so i can see what good ideas from good minds look like.

 and maybe i made a poor choice of words. the idea was for people to send me ideas to archive for me  to read and enjoy. the reason for this is because i have been on many a game show website that i haven't visited probably since 2004 or so and am shocked and deeply saddened to see proposals taken off these websites for fear of being bought out by a major media conglomerate.

so if you would like to help a fellow game show fan who would just like to see some ideas from people that have an extremely huge amount of talent like i know many of you had years ago (i know i used to vist game show forums and see game show ideas out the wazoo) please be my guest


and to the one who responded to this request with an idea you can send me the pdf to my e-mail that will be just fine

i mean i'm 21 and i'm a telemarketer the only thing i sell is what they tell me to sell at my job and by god no will ever ever ever ever ever get their paws  on anyone's ideas they would have to take these ideas like charlton heston said FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS !!!!!!!!
