MSN/Email to contact you:
Experience?
Why should I pick you?
Are you good working with people?
Why not use WordPress or Drupal? Or the numerous other high quality, established CMS scripts?

Because A) they are not easy to work and B) I kind of really wanted to see if I could get together with someone who really knows how to do this stuff and try to create something that other people will love and can use.
What are you talking about? They are exactly the kind of things that people without any programming experience can use! They are point and click, easy install, piece of pie.
All you would have to do really is make/get a Habbo WordPress theme and get some sort of server online/offline checker. There's WordPress plugins and widgets for just about everything you would need. Making an entirely new Habbo CMS isn't your best option here, since there's already some pretty nice ones out there. Unless you really really really want to take the time to find someone to help you make a CMS from the ground up, I would stick with an existing CMS.I don't think we're talking about the same type of CMS. I want to create one for habbo retros...
Now there isn't much I can offer in return except for a LOT of credit when/if it's released and a coder spot on Diamond once it's up. Thanks
There are too many mistakes to be made creating a CMS for it to be everyone's first project. It seems like that's what people seem to be doing, though. You need to fully understand sanitization of every input format, MIME-type issues, XSS/CSRF problems (almost none address this properly), need insecure-to-secure login which is rarely done correctly, and ideally always secure for anyone logged in to prevent the possibility of session hijacking, you need to also handle user-feedback in polls or in comments which is a whole different ballgame of security and identification issues.
Yes, it's easy to throw together something that lets you create a CMS, I could create a very basic CMS in under 2 hours. To not completely screw up everything though would require months of work after you have all of that knowledge. This is why we use Drupal and Wordpress -- they have people with that knowledge and the maturity to have already corrected most of those mistakes.
That said, if you do make your own CMS, never, ever, ever, ever use it to host any production website, ever. That's all.
