    Alright.


    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->P.S.: This post is not to be understood as a discussion about the sense of starting such a page.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I will start my post by not complying with the post script.


    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I know that this may not be the right place<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    First off. No, it's probably not the right place. As an effect of your low post count, your message can easily be perceived as carrying a spam scheme-recruitment type of agenda.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I am working for a company<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    What company? A German one? A newly created one? An old running one? This is important information.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->[company] which starts projects which are based on the internet for years.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    So your company starts projects, and these projects are based on the internet? Wow that is... incredibly vague!

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Basically this is nothing new for the internet users.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    When selling something, an idea or a product it is generally ill advised to say "It's like everything else" - unless you have a new catch! Let's see:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->it will be possible to write with other users, to watch or upload videos and to hear or upload music[...]Moreover the users can create an own playlist and their own profile.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Moreover? Creating a profile is not something moreover any other community idea, ever. Creating a profile is really the base requirement for a community - that is unless you do an anonymous community like the chan boards.
    You could have stuck with 'It's like Facebook, Hi5 and Netlog'. The sentence following the first comparison really doesn't add anything.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->How does the whole looking?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I have no idea. Had the 'whole' had retinal or optical receivers, then maybe, possibly it could have perceived the colors and objects of the world, but I doubt the 'whole' is sentient like that. (Work on the grammar - English not being your first language of tongue is not an excuse - If I, in this post, have been grammatically incorrect I am allowed on the base that I am not selling/establishing a multi-million idea.)

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->There is one domain and logo, but every country has his separate page.[...]Every operator is responsible for his site. He himself judges about campaigns, marketing strategies, user registrations, complaints, groups, messages and events.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Really here is where the deal starts resembling a pyramid scheme.
    The deal boils down to:
    Our company is in supreme command of the business and its direction, however:
    It is up to each "operator" to manage his own site, handle the maintenance, work out design, structure and general updating of the site.
    (You do say that "Programming, security and administration will also be adopted by us" but in the next line you state "You only have to concentrate on your site, that's all you have to do.")
    The parent company's logo / flag must be visible on every site to promote it's owner's company and reputation.
    Adsense is the main source of income for operators. It was like that before you entered with the deal though.
    Profit for the big guys on the account of smaller community site operators work.

    My thoughts.

    I'm up for a lock. (And also agree with everything else you said Abra)

    On a more serious note, yes, it's somewhat vague.
    What is going to be so special about your community site(s) that it will be better or more interesting than existing ones?
    Anyone with half a brain, a computer and a very good internet connection can start a forum, ftp server, radio/video streams.
    What's the deal? Easy to use? No/high limits?
    What makes it tick?

    He has a low post count but he's obviously an NS fan, not a forum spammer, because he's Constellation. I dunno why the heck he posted if he doesn't want this tot urn into a discussion about the site but whatever.

    I was going to leave this open, but every link lead to something showing paypal logos but it was obviously not a paypal site. Locked due to being quite suspicious.
