G+_Mark Swaim Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 This tweet is just 1 of many Leo made today trying to explain why chat and live stream is being shut down. It confirms unfortunately the harassment and threats Leo has been dealing with for 18 months now.

G+_David Pick Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't know if anyone watches Inside TWIT. But I expect a formal explanation from Leo and Lisa what is the ultimate reasons for shutting the live stream and chat down. This tweet doesn't explain everything. But it does confirm the threats he has been dealing with. I was also shocked to learn TWIT Studios really does have a metal detector and full time armed security guard at all times currently.?

G+_David Pick Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 As for the wang picks everyone claims happened on The Tech Guy this last Sunday. Leo so far says that was photoshoped by a known troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Dave Leyland Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This is This certainly is sad. Leo and Lisa run a great tech network. I wouldn't know tech as well as I do if not for Leo. My thoughts are with them and the TWIT staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_David Pick Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 +Chris Cornell So far, it's making the rounds on social media that the live stream isn't going away mostly. Leo and Lisa will really need to make a formal announcement what the future plans and changes will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tim Krupinski Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Wow. I had no idea how serious the problem was until I started searching for some context around Twit TV and shutting down the chat. Frontpage Google results link to pages obviously written by these people to jump on him for every little thing. I'm sure you guys will discover a way to move forward and still keep a vibrant community! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Mark Lanigan Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Maybe live streaming is ending because of a problem inside TWIT and chat's ending because of a problem outside TWIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
