Are threats/hacks a real common occurrence for streamers/youtubers or just an unlucky few?

For bigger streams that get hundreds or thousands of viewers, hacking and DDOSing can be very common occurrences unfortunately. It's terrible.

It's more likely for talk shows like ours and Spartan because our Skype information is typically available and it's very easy to steal IP information through that.

Your past broadcasts are still locked behind a paywall. Open up your channel, it's not big enough to warrant a Subscriber paywall for archived content. Paywall on Archives seems dumb regardless.

It wasn't intended to be a subscriber paywall, but more of a way to be able to share the remastered version of our archived material. But! Your feedback is appreciated and therefore we have opened the archives.

EDIT: Seems like there is some sort of glitch not allowing us to turn the option off. We've sent in a ticket to twitch so we should see it removed soon. Sorry for the delay..

I remember when my brother called in and asked what your favorite game of all time was, and you stumbled and said call of duty ghosts

Hey Spartan, I was a fan. I enjoyed the content you and your crew put out; I am genuinely attracted to streamers/youtubers that seen like good folk like you guys. I was wondering whatever happened to you guys. Anyways, thanks for the bump. I will give you a follow on twitch, and definitely open up your archive please.

And so it begins...

And oh did it begin.

I like when things become unexpectedly successful. A few months later Sony even encouraged personal use of the Playroom with all those updates. Playroom porn died down thankfully and now there are mods keeping things in check. I don't like how streams get reported for no reason and banned though. Don't they check what's being reported before they do that?

Anyway it's nice to see this is still very active. I would of thought by now it would stop getting use. But it looks like the excitement is still there. Some hilarious streams out there still.


Damn...I had no idea you were attacked like that near the beginning. That's terrible. I really hope you've been able to move passed that now and are no longer receiving threats. We've had a few hacks and DDOS's, but nothing on that level, thank God.

Good luck with the new venture!


Your show is awesome. :)

My friend got a PS4 a few months ago, he wasn't really upto scratch with the PS4 so I had to show him a lot of stuff. I introduced him to the live from playstation channel and he couldn't believe it.

We would go on and look for streams so I could show him the kind of stuff people stream. Within no time at all we saw sex, boozing, rapping, and some clearly unstable people. It's really funny / weird / disturbing what you can come across on there.

Your show is awesome. :)

Thanks! Would I know you as a routine viewer? Can't believe it's been over 14 months since we started.

If anybody would like to watch tonight, we will be doing Episode 64 and doing a recap of GDC2015 as well as PAX East. It starts at 10 PM ET at twitch.tv/thelevelupshow.

You can also check out all of our archives and other content at the channels below. Thanks for the support!

Also, it does suck that there are still a lot of false reports going on through PlayStation. Fortunately though, Twitch has put together sort of a white list of streamers that they know not to shut down even if they are reported. Our show and Spartan's are a part of that list = )

Alright, that took a lot longer than I thought it would, but the access to archives is now open http://twitch.tv/thespartanshow

I remember that! Well, we're currently doing our first playthrough of Dark Souls and will be working our way through a number of new games in what we like to call the Quest of Completion! If you're interested in first time playthroughs with similar titles you should check it out!

And oh did it begin.

Thanks so much! Although now we're streaming from a PC. This allows us to provide a much better product. But we did provide the developers of the AR Studio (Playroom DLC) with some help in creating a platform to help others deliver content similar to ours.

I miss when you used the Playroom background with the robots. Oh and that guy with the beard.

Well, we're back! We'd love to see you around. Although the beard guy lost a bet and has to keep his beard shaved.. so much for the Seahawks winning the superbowl hah!

And again! Thank you everyone for your faith and support in The Spartan Show!

Nice bump lol

Man this thread brings back memories...


The live shows from PS4 brought back memories of the Yahoo Chat days it was the wild wild west of the internet era, people really was out of control now Sony has brought it to the living room in HD lol



Facebook drama streamed live? Can not wait.

I think facebook streams will be a little more tamed than the things that was going on when this was 1st released because people have their families on their friends list but then again most people don't even care these days lol.
 
This is still happening via Ustream. But Ustream's ads are very awful and annoying. Every five minutes they have to put in an ad that actually blocks the content being streamed.

Sony has a big chance to take advantage of the live streaming generation with PS4 right now because everyone is doing it now with their phones while PS4 basically have the living room to their self.


PlayRoom took off almost by accident & wasn't really built for the live streaming social network that Live From PlayStation has become & the PlayStation Camera is something you have to buy to become a streamer. if Sony is smart they will make their own live streaming app & network & bundle the PlayStation Camera with the PS4 & make the money back with the ads that play before & in the middle of the live broadcasting.
