Don't bullshit us. What you meant to say was that you don't have the desire to learn to code. If you have a) a brain, b) a computer, and c) internet access, you'll be able to easily find all the resources you need. You don't really even need internet, though it certainly makes things easier. Many programmers start out more or less teaching themselves through books, online resources, and (gasp) actual practice.

Oh, and you do not need money, unless you intend to buy books or commercial development tools, but with the availability of libraries, free development tools, and online references, these are a luxury rather than a necessity.

Excuse me, but you seem to have a problem with me. If that's so you can just ignore this thread.

Well seeing as I AM a kid, (well teen) we won't have pay until we realease the game. We might send out some money once in a while but it wouldn't be very big, because CJ (A.K.A. Domino, and also the co-president) has parents who might give us donations here and there, but other than that it will be for cred until release.

Well, kind of but not the complete development. I know how it's just that 1. I'm not THAT good and 2. that I would rather get a website from godaddy.com or something that I could put our own forums rather than being hosted by conforums but I don't know how to program the forums and thats the job.

Okay, let's get serious for a second. First, you should read "How to ask questions the smart way". This is not to say your question was particulary dumb, but the material explains why you might encounter certain attitudes on a forum. I'm sure it hasn't occurred to you, but we get lebenty-jillion posts from kids who, despite their lack of knowledge, are going to reinvent the wheel, with added features that are worth a couple tons of money. The future zillionaires all want the work done for them, "for free." Their attitude, in their ignorance, is "Why not? It's easy!" Of course, if you can succeed in getting competent people to work for you at no charge, you might very well become that zillionaire. Go for it if you think it represents the best expenditure of your time. Meanwhile, expect your posts to be treated as the kind of content they truly are.

Actually, you're mistaken. I was just pointing out that your comment does not fit with reality. In order to be posting on forums, much less 'administering' a web page (yeah, I know, it's free hosting and not the same as a real site), you have internet access. Ditto that for a computer. The third 'resource' in learning to program is the intelligence to do so. Ergo, if you are claiming you lack the necessary resources, you are saying you lack a brain (it being evident you have access to a computer and the internet). I think it's far more likely that you lack the wherewithal to learn to code, which is entirely different from lacking the resources to learn. Just because I used the word 'bullshit' instead of some more family-friendly term doesn't mean I have a problem with you.
Teen? You might want to correct your profile then; it says you were born in January 1983, which would make you 23.
Okay, fine. Lots of people write programs without being paid up front, because they want to learn, or simply because they enjoy it. Others might be willing to do it for a stake in potential revenues, with the understanding those might not be forthcoming (depending on how the product does). Still, it's not very enticing when you give the impression that you will sit back while others do the work that you can't be bothered to do. Making an effort to contribute to the process would go a long way.
As DaWei points out, that's reinventing the wheel. It's also a more involved task than you might imagine, especially with the fact that any people who offer to help will likely be beginners, and thus it will probably be beyond their collective skill set.

You might want to start with something simple, and then move to more complex stuff. In addition, on the hosting side, web hosting is getting pretty cheap these days, so you could investigate that. Many of these also provide forums, and (presumably) would assist you in getting them up and running, so no need to roll your own.

I knew that 23 sounded a bit strange.

I thought it WAS family friendly! :eek: Just don't use "taurine excrement of the first water" (tm DaWei)

Ok, so lectricpharaoh sorry I jumped there but you gotta admit you did sound hostile. Ok about my age?, yea apparently I did something wrong, lol, but also, will it still let me be signed up or is it an "18 years or older" site? I don't need anything that simple, I'm learning flash and stuff for cutscenes, etc... but I don't have the time right now to learn code, I don't get home 'til like 7 and all I do with my Fireworks program (I'm using Macromedia Fireworks) is I just dink around so I'm learning that way, with coding, you need to have time, and MAJOR patience which I need to work on . So if you wanna give it a shot, my parents, friends, and other family say it's a REALLY good idea I have, so I will post it on my forums and you can check it out and maybe try workin' for me. If you don't remember it's ayeaye.conforums.com the www. won't work.
