Quite frankly, ideas are a plenty. Every single programmer, modder, level designer out there has an abundance of their own ideas with little time to implement them. If you want to attract attention towards your specific idea, you had better be able to show what you are capable of contributing to the project yourself, and exactly why your idea is any better than anyone else's. Just being the "ideas guy" while leaving the work to everyone else doesn't exactly make people want to work for you, so you'll have to show what you can do as well.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you need to put in a LOT of work yourself and have something to show for it before anyone else will consider joining you on a project. People don't have lots of free time and game development is incredibly time consuming.

There have been probably over 1000 of these threads since Q3W started....always some "ideas" guy who wanted everyone else to do the work for them.

It's not just Q3W or video games, I've seen it in many industries:

On various CG/3d modeling communities: "Hey guys, I have this great idea for a 3D film/million poly model..."
On Photoshop/photography communities: "Hey guys, I have this great idea for an illustration/photo shoot..."
On web developing communities: "Hey guys, I have this great idea for a web 2.0 social media site..."

They are almost always followed with something along the lines of "... I don't know much about *insert-field* but I have lots of great ideas that I won't tell you about... oh btw, I don't have much money so I won't be able to pay you, but it'll be fun because you must have no life and lots of free time to help realize my dreams!"

Exactly. They never have any clue how much work is involved, as long as someone else does it.
