Buddy, all I was trying to do was to get a few guys and start a new venture. Is something wrong with that?
Emi has a point so you shouldn't be so hostile, it's not going to win you any fans.
There's nothing wrong with your plan, per say, however it's not much of a plan. In the face of two studios being constantly on the front page, both of them whom have been in operations for a year (I believe) and still not have published anything it's discearning that you're going to distract and take away hopeful artists from studios that may be able to go somewhere and instead disillusion them to the craft.
Starting a studio, being a leader, setting a scheduel, it's all WORK, lots and lots of hard, deep into the night, organizing work. And if you're in University you probably don't have time for it. If you can't offer anyone benifits, then you're not going to attract many people, if you havn't thought any of this out past "HEY I wanna publish mah comics! Lets DO EET MAAANNNN" then chances are you're going to crash and burn and since here at CC we've seen it happen multiple times us trying to make you get your a** in gear and consider this stuff is just our attempt at damage control.

And in question to my talent, since when did grammatical errors undermine a person's abilities?
a lot.
For two reasons:
First, if you're planning on running a studio then that means YOU in all reality will have to be the chief editor. Even if you hire another editor you still have to know if THEY are good.
So not being able to do basic spelling and grammar while writing on the fly makes people wonder if you'd be able to catch it and correct it.
The second reason is it shows your level of seriousness. If you can't or won't take the time to run a spellcheck on a post trying to recruit people to a PUBLISHING studio (even web publishing) then it shows you don't have any respect, no respect for those you hope to hire, for those you hope to sell to and for those just passing by that can read.

I'm the kind who goes out and finds people and embark on a common dream and fulfill it...I do not believe in joining some rat-race.
( no offense intended, seriously )
That last one is a little offencive. Joining a small run independent studio is "joining the Rat Race"? Well then excuse me Mr. Rat-Pack but what do you think you're advocating here if not the status quo?
If we wanted to join the "Rat Race" then most of us would have gone into advertising or we'd be busy applying at real comic studios instead of trying to make our own.
Doing your homework or getting guidance from a group with experiance doesn't detract from you but adds to your ability, it shows people you've seen and considered the other options and you've got a plan even better then them. It shows you're ready to live up to the claims you make.
In any case I leave you to the ideals I leave all others, Test of time and print.
