Those techs are so busy with this stuff that when you come along with an idea that (maybe) a good one they have to decide if its good enough to put some of the other more important stuff asside. Techs are extremely expensive to hire inhouse and programs are not making the money they were back in 98-99. Hard times and most programs hire only the techs they really need so when you come up with an idea chances are the techs are pretty busy working on other more important stuff and so your idea has to be a very very good one that can also be used by other affilates as well. Thats honestly where I see this problem, most programs love to give everything they can to affilates but its a juggling act for sponsors on which things to do first.

Hard times? Much of what you say flies in the face of what can be seen through many sponsor promotions. Not sure about you, yet, how many nano's and XBOX 360's are they giving away again? I'm sure that can fund many intra-startups. But that's just petty nitpicking.
Look, if someone approaches you as a partner and if the opportunity seems feasable, at least have your gate keepers online usher them upwards through the proper channels in order to have their business proposals heard and negotiated through to a definitive conclusion. I can't tell you how inept sponsors look when your ICQ dorks are playing armchair executive manager and treating some of us as if we where the dimbulb affiliates you see streaming through GFY by the hundreds.
Some of us are interested in building partnerships and alliances. Be receptive to those opportunities.
