I'm not sure if you're a troll or just ignorant, but my startup is all about fake news, so I'll take this on. 1. Nowhere do they claim to be affiliated with YCombinator. I'm not sure why do you think YC would be the owner of the domain. 2. The company registered in the Cayman Islands is not the owner of metachat.com but the Whois Privacy company owned by the domain registrar. 3. Where do you see a "YC login" on that…

1) the first page was pretty “smooth” on “YC Alumni Community” chat. 2) i know all about that privacy company. Pretty choice for crooks 3) your website try to fool the user claiming it has a secure HTTPS when in fact your server isn’t secure having no https encryption at all.

* Secure connection (TLS 1.2, ECDHE_RSA with P-256, AES_128_GCM)

* Mixed content (The site includes HTTP resources. Reload the page to record requests for HTTP resources.)

FAKE ALERT! Guys DO NOT enter this link. It's from DISGUSTING and very dumb THIEVES. (i won't even call them hackers because i hacked them in less than 30 seconds) 1) The YCombinator is not the owner of the domain. It's a fake company registered in the Cayman Islands. 2) They are trying to rob your passwords to steal your businesses. The YC login in that page is fake. 3) They couldn't even set up a https server LMFAO…

Hi, I always like to read user feedback, especially if they make me smile. I created yc.metachat.com with 2 friends as a side project. We applied to YCW18 and wanted something that aggregated news about it and gave us the opportunity to chat with other people who have applied. If you would login, you would see there is quite some activity. I'm sure there are many areas of improvement to be found. To come back to your…

Let the hater hate. I really like the concept of the site and think there is room for this type of system in other areas. We are exploring a similar concept to this to integrate within our live tracking/timing for Sports. It is a nice way to aggregate updates with conversation.
