The CEO is not even trying to do the damage control.
They're tweeting that most of the comments on here are coming from competitors. I think the problem is they're so overly defensive they're completely in denial.

He commented the same to one of my comments, even accusing me of online harassment and other things. I'm currently at the post office buying stamps for an international letter, so I can send a C&D. This is the weirdest exchange between a business and its customers I've ever seen.
I filed an ICO report early this morning, but not sure how far that will get to be honest. I am not familiar with the UK's systems or what they will bother to do with this, if anything.

YC is an investor in the company. We've been trying all day to reach the CEO and we've been unsuccessful so far. Obviously, this is very bad and we hope the company will fix it quickly.
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…
Just noticed that the text on my profile has now been changed to "Marked for removal from database". Perhaps they fixed their "cron job". mumphster mentioned on Twitter that that he just got banned also and actually managed to have an exchange with the CEO: https://twitter.com/elgruntox/status/661063421283012608 https://twitter.com/elgruntox/status/661063608302866432 I'm not sure where the first line is coming from a…
Hi Liza – This is Michael from Livecoding.tv. I hope the tension has calmed down a bit. Am traveling in Europe and thus not always reading emails. Apology for how our support handled your account deletion request and the emails back and forth. It was not really nice and needed given that your account had no content on it, we even deleted all your videos, and disabled your account. They thought you were a troll and ju…

"We will send you an Amazon gift card to soothe things a bit." Now that goes to show how serious you're in solving this saga. This is comedy gold according to my dictionary.

I have never 'spammed' livecoding.tv nor have I ever been warned or banned by their support team (or by any online company for that matter). I don't have a website. I'm not in Indiana, either. (I decided to reply to my own comment, as I don't want to agitate the situation by directly replying to the other comment).

grabs popcorn Yup, some good entertainment. Also, what was the amount on the Amazon gift card? We _must_ know.

Hi Alex from Watch People Code, i know you do not like us a lot because we did not agree to pay you money to move to Livecoding.tv. Please be honest and add a disclaimer that you are Alex from Watch People Code and you and your team members are trolling with different usernames in this thread and on Livecoding.tv.
You have accused minimaxir of being "Alex". Click on minimaxir's username on HN. You'll see he's been here for more than 1,300 days, and has information about who he is and where he is. Click his submissions link, and you'll see a bunch of his submissions. Not a single one is for any account to livecoding streams. (Although a stream of him creating on of his data posts would be interesting). You probably need to apol…
That is my end-goal. :) Trying to set up a good, video-friendly workflow first.
I sorta wish I was able to reply to parent's comment before it got flagged to death, though.
This is a terrible practice for consumers, but a huge strategy win for startups(AOL zombie account trick .. hope they forget about wanting to delete or cancel). I ran into this awful practice with Uber after a hack they know about lets your account be hacked by London drivers who rip you off for rides in London (im in the states). I went to my forgotten Uber account to cancel and found out I have to email support and…
Hmm, i don't know how you bring Uber in this conversation, but we are really not in the same space or sharing any information with them.

From mumphster's transcripts linked in the children (drmjg is the Livecoding.tv CEO): slateytv: you look childish and irresponsible for releasing her full name and company drmjg: As mentioned above her account really has nothing interesting on it. so there is no reason not to even delete it. [...] ellbot: also why the hell would you edit her profile to show her work and personal information to the public slateytv: ar…
