Is there a request game ideas thread?

I'm curious if there is a thread where you upload game ideas and see if someone else can try their hands on them.

no. nobody has any use for them, and the ideas non-devs have are never new. not that a game requires a new idea, most of them operate on themes used for thousands of years already.

but there are tons of posts like this. about every 2 weeks there's an 'ideas guy' either looking to sell or give the idea away. but there are no takers.

I mean, at the time I'm writing this there's a post called "Game ideas" just 2 posts down from this thread.

Everyone has ideas, but far from everyone can make games. The result is that we ALWAYS have a LOT of ideas on these forums, but far less people who can make use of them. I am working on a game of my own, and I have ideas for at least 5 other stories I would like to try out, and that's just me alone. Sure, little Johnny over there might be giving out 10 or 20 ideas for game plots, but why would I choose those, when I have my own ideas and creations?
Are there people with the skills to make games, but lacking the right idea? Of course, but these are the exception, not the rule. Even when those people post on this forum, mostly they are asking about specific fetishes, rather than an actual story idea. I simply don't think that there is a need for a "game ideas" thread, but that's just me.

What about game request?

What about game request?

You want to pay someone to make a game for you? Or you found a game you would like to see end up on this site?

I'd love a dedicated Request Game/Idea thread. I'd watch that thread and check it daily to see what ideas people come up with.
