No offense.. but this is probably because most skilled developers have full time paid positions. Secondly, it would have helped if you posted this in our Volunteer section instead of misrepresenting the post.

Moved to Volunteer Work.

A guy with attitude has trouble finding developers willing to work for free on his project?

Honestly, I'd consider working for you with a salary of $100.00 USD per hour, IF, and only IF I spoke to you on the phone and liked your attitude.

Why would it be in the Volunteer's Forum then?? It's a software project.

Oh, so basically, I have to spend extortionate amounts of money to call you and just so you can like my attitude??

Fail at sarcasm. Large forum should get quick responses.

I'm sorry I even tried here, all of you are extremely rude.

I think you're just trying to play ball in the wrong park there partner. Start speaking a language we understand and I'm sure your impression that we are rude will change. Money talks, BS walks. You didn't ask for volunteers, you posted a job with no salary.

I am speaking a language you can understand.

If I post a job with no salary, that should compute it's a volunteer position.

Volunteer work is generally reserved for non-profit organizations looking for small projects, not for the next big forum software. Programmers work for free on open source projects that they utilize and support themselves. They don't just create software for someone else to make money from. As you said,

To think anyone would work for you for nothing in return is absurd.
