i don't agree with the comments that say that this is spam, in and of itself. the job postings for the YC companies do set a certain precedent, leaving a grey area with respect to job postings that isn't quite defined.

however, i do also want to point out that this is a posting for the company that owns ebaum's world, who is infamous for its content stealing and various other shenanigans. i wouldn't touch this with a 10 ft pole.

We bought ebaumsworld from Eric Bauman and we do not steel content.

that is fair. if its the case, you have some bridges to rebuild, because i've heard much more about eric's antics and much less about the purchase of the company and any rebuilding that might have been done.

Does HN need a sister site for this sort of advertising? Is there already somewhere else? Or is this regarded as appropriate?

The "ad," I prefer to refer to it as an opportunity, has been posted where high-quality, ruthlessly competent indivividuls might be congragating. Please do not consider this spam and if the community feels the posting is inappropriate then I will gladly take it down.

As someone who has only recently taken his first steps in web design, the requirements above seem daunting, hehe
