I can't speak for everyone, but unless some extraordinary new information comes to light I personally would never use livecoding.tv after observing this incident. It seems from the comments on this thread that a lot of HN readers agree with me. And since livecoding.tv is targeted at programmers and a lot of programmers read HN, this is the end of livecoding.tv. It's surreal to watch it happen in real time.

A lot of the people posting here are from competiting sites or users we had to warn or ban on Livecoding.tv for one reason or the other. Please see the comments below. Most of the usernames in this thread are familiar to us.

I'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…

Please send me a personal message and I'll track your case and see what happened.

How is this relevant to what I posted?

No one believes this, but even if it were true it would not excuse your behaviour. It is not a defence.

I'm concerned that many comments on this suggest that the problem is that the CEO needs better PR. It's scarier to me that this sort of behavior could hide behind PR. For tech in general I think ethics needs to be considered more than PR, as that's the heart of the matter. Clearly, those who've signed up for Livecoding are somewhat scared that this team has their data. I understand YC can't run these companies, but I…

Joe - I hope you doing fine in Indiana. Can you at least be honest and add that you spammed on Livecoding.tv many times marketing your website and service for which our support team warned you and banned your numerous accounts?

How do you think pseudo-doxxing someone on a message board helps you at this point? This is just creepy.

Looks like you guys just corrected the spelling of your website name on my profile (previously "LIIVECODING.TV"), which is still accusing me of spamming. Is this the kind of improvement you had in mind?

You seem to enjoy this whole thread, but very coward that you hiding your real identity. Can you at least post your Linkedin profile url as comment for others to know?

Are you just copying and pasting these replies now without looking at which comments you are replying to? My name is literally on the website this thread links to, and my LinkedIn profile is on the Contact page. Of course it was also up for hours last night on the Livecoding profile you vandalized. I think you're confused.

Like kuschku which you falsely accused of being some "alex" ? [1] You're not making yourself any more believable... At this point its probably better to stop posting and reflect on all of this for a day.

This is incredible. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life. A company blatantly pissing off much of its would-be userbase and sticking to its grossly incompetent guns, obviously not caring at all. I literally cannot imagine a way they could handle this more poorly.

This has to be mental illness or drugs. Completely bizarre.

Bit frustrating that you see poor behaviour that's hard to understand and leap to "mentally ill", rather than "scumbag".

What are you talking about? My LinkedIn profile and contact details are on the website this thread is linking to, not to mention you plastered my full name all over my Livecoding profile last night, so it's not exactly a secret. Or did you think you were replying to some other comment?

Either he was replying to another comment or is delusional at this moment.
