The poster does not know how to resize pictures--so what? To say that only programmers can design successful facebook apps is a bit arrogant. I'd say a lot of social users would be able to help come up with an app and make it popular, if they knew how.
However, almost always, you need a programmer to write something like this, as well as keep it constantly improving, since one can't just create something in a one-shot deal and think they're done.
If you are sure your idea is as good as you say it is, it will be worth it to learn enough programming to make a facebook app yourself, get it popular like you said you will, and when it hits big you'll be able to find tons of developers.
There are some business (or art) people who have dabbled in programming and made some contributions, but it is almost always 'hackers' who do.
I think the problem people have with this isn't just that the programmer might end up doing more work for a program that might not go anywhere, but that the "opportunity cost" (some business lingo) to work on this delays completion of something else the hacker is already working on (with more equity and closer to fruition.)
Finally, hackers would probably rather team up with another hacker (same culture, understanding of computers) than a business guy at our young age.
If you don't have technical ability, you really have to put your entire idea out there in detail to get help.
I'm guessing his idea of "front-end design" is actually more like "I'll mock it up in MS Paint and tell the developer what the explosions ought to sound like by making sounds with my mouth". That's usually what self-appointed business guys bring to the table, in my experience (and I've met lots of them).
