Phishing Expeditions

You've been nurturing this idea for the better part of a decade, perhaps it is a mouse teleportation device that safely deposits your little furry friend outside the house, or perhaps it is a revolutionary perpetual motion device powered by magnets.

You do a few searches, and you find what appears to be a wonderful site full of interesting inventions, you quickly roll up your sleeves and post an idea or a dozen, only to find scorn and ridicule! They attack your grammar and spelling, cite all kinds of irrelevant scientific "facts", and worst of all, claim that some of your best work has already been done by others! And wtf with the custard fixation?

A little more research will show you that status counts. Veterans inventions are given a little slack, and people judge you based on the totality of your ideas -- which right now are looking like a fish cemetery.

Insufferable. Enter Phishing Expeditions.

We will create a complete site full of "your ideas" that will look and feel like the halfbakery, and have you as the author of many existing popular ideas, and throw in a few of your new ones into the mix. You can then pepper such links into your HB ideas and slowly but surely assume the persona of an elder statesman -- and watch the croissants pour in.
