#3According to whois this site is by Pavan Kumar, not YC. For those of you who dont know, using pictures (especially with a quote attached, and even more when it has YC in the name) from public figures is NOT LEGAL if it is used to sell/endorse a product without their consent.

Let us know what you think

#7I remember the Hacker News I used to love from 2008. Are we really at a place where someone is trying to build another corral / gatekeeper for yet another "exclusive" group? It used to be using the word "exclusive" on HN would get you laughed at. Hacker news was about Hacking Things. Oh how I miss the pre bubble BS.

#8Man, everyone here is so negative. If someone wants to help out aspiring YC companies, why not support that? If YC wants to ban the post, then let them do so. They don't need self appointed moderators.
These guys are trying to help others. Let the idea rise or fall on it's merit.
