I hope your cat gets better soon!
Thank you very much! He is better now (knock wood), but needs medication 3 times a day and may have a permanently damaged bladder. But as long as he's happy and peeing I'm happy.

That's odd, their domain name suggests they are based in the small island nation of Tuvalu.
There are more oddities like that: The government of the state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany uses for most official websites the domain .sh, which actually belongs to Saint Helena. At this point almost all domains on .sh actually belong to companies or governmental entities in Schleswig-Holstein, the remaining domains mostly belong to geeks using it due to the similarity to the file ending .sh for shell files. Exa…
Also: .nu is owned by Niue, but is mostly used by Swedish companies (nu is swedish for now). It was even taken over by IIS/.SE in 2013.

Hi drakonka, I have only just found out about this, and was until now not aware of what happened. I don't know why my cofounder Michael marked you as spam, and I will ask him to contact you. I can only apologise for the handling of your account deletion, it really is not acceptable that it took so long, so we will make it a priority to improve this.
If this is how you usually "mark spammers" her account issue is the least of your problems. It makes it look like the site is run by a paranoid schizophrenic. Most unprofessional thing I've ever seen from a YC company, even if the allegations would be true.
You're joking, but a quick Google search of [site:livecoding.tv banned] shows that's exactly what is happening.

Does YC not provide any kind of guidance or coaching around customer support and PR to founders during the program? Seems like that should be a really important topic, given how situations like this impact not only the reputation of the startup, but also YC itself.
YC isn't going to run your company for you. This isn't a YC problem.

I was about to sign up, with about the same reason and interest level as the post author. How's Twitch for this?
Twitch officially doesnt allow non-gaming related (game-dev is ok) streams. As long as you dont stream anything explicit you should be ok though
You can set the game you're playing to "Programming", which they explicitly allow.

#87I'm not very fond of the admins on there (but not really in the same sense). I signed up maybe the first week that the website was up and found a bug. I reported it to the admins, who then criticized me of trying to hack their website and insisted that I was the same person as another user who had spammed their site. They told me that our IPs were the same (and when I asked them to tell my what my IP supposedly was t…
This is what happens when you're overly defensive; you think any bad news is an attack on you, even if it's constructive and in good faith.
Re: My Livecoding.tv account deletion saga
#88The issue here is not that Livecoding.tv isn't removing this individual's account, but that individuals sign up for things with the expectation they have rights to their data. Here's a gem from Livecoding.tv's TOS which clearly indicates their intent with other people's data: > All Materials contained on the Livecoding.tv Service are the proprietary property of Livecoding.tv or its subsidiaries or affiliated companie…

"but I can tell things like when people are BSing, how tough they are, if they get along, and surprisingly often, considering I only have 10 minutes to observe them, whether they're good people or not."

So, yet another win for Jessica's infallible intuition! Maybe these guys can get together with the Homejoy team and create something really special.

You can do more than apologise. You can stop calling her a spammer, delete her profile entirely, apologise profusely, and make sure this kind of utter ridiculousness never happens again! I suggest making sure your cofounder never has anything to do with user relations.
