Another one bites the dust. I don't even recognize the web anymore, it seems like a giant shopping mall more than ever before.
Dear LiveLeakers,
I'm sure you're wondering what's going on right now so it's only right and proper that you get a full
explanation.
Fifteen years ago we felt the project we were working on had peaked and it was time to move on,
LiveLeak was born. Although it's an overused analogy the last fifteen years have been an insane
rollercoaster for all involved. Highs, lows, and some rather worrying bits where it felt like we were upside
down. The thing is, it's never been less than exhilarating, challenging and something we were all fully
committed to. Nothing lasts forever though and – as we did all those years ago – we felt LiveLeak had
achieved all that it could and it was time for us to try something new and exciting.
The world has changed a lot over these last few years, the Internet alongside it, and we as people. I'm sat
here now writing this with a mixture of sorrow because LL has been not just a website or business but a
way of life for me and many of the guys but also genuine excitement at what's next.
I hope some of you will enjoy ItemFix and find it useful and entertaining. It's something completely
different, completely fresh, and something we feel energized about tackling and whilst I know many of
you will be upset, possibly angry, about our decision I do hope you also understand our reasons and
appreciate that, alongside you, we have walked together through some interesting times and some crazy
ones. Sometimes it's just the right time to chart a new path.
I'd like to wrap this up with thanks. Thank you to all the team past and present, the “inner circle”, the
admins, the mods, the coders. You guys helped make the impossible possible for so long it's unreal. If
people truly knew what you'd put into this...they probably wouldn't believe it. But I know and I can't
thank you enough.
To the members, the uploaders, the casual visitors, the trolls and the occasionally demented people who
have been with us. You have been our constant companions and although we probably didn't get to
communicate too often you're appreciated more than you realize. On a personal level you have fascinated
and amused me with your content.
Lastly, to those no longer with us. I still remember you.
On behalf of the LiveLeak team and myself
Cheers,
Hayden
