This is kinda a "science/technology" question but I think "Business" readers would have more input:
My business idea: (in convenient to read bullet format)
Desire:
I want to
get a topical cream remedy for the raging anal parasites I got from thailand
suggest an episode idea for Penn and Teller's BS
see if anyone has experience growing marijuana plants with laser light
post my crack pot business idea
Problem -
Now, JU is a smart bunch, but my questions are too diverse and the community is too small. To get very meaningful feedback (from experts!) I'd have to join large communities of a medical, screenwriters, horticulturalist, and entrepreneur message boards.
That would require a login and password, which is excessive overhead for posting one idea and a handful of replies.
THE SOLUTION -
People browse to my website.
They choose which forum (organized by primary subject) they want to post to or thread to reply to.
They submit their post, anonymously, to me. My bots post to the forum using a legitimate log-in. Voila, you've posted without a log-in.
The only problem I see is handling spam/bots/trolls, and maybe an irrate moderator who demands 1 login 1 person. However, I see it as beneficial to mods because it brings traffic to their site. After-all, the anonymous poster needs to read the replies.
What do you all think?
