Who invested money to realize this website? Also, it shows no advertising banners. So how does this site finances itself? I could not find anything about this yet. edit: I researched further and the whois-check shows DomainsByProxy.com as owner. This companys slogan is "Your identity is nobodys bussines but ours". Dead end.
Liveleak what is it ... political or shock site?. It's progenitor www.ogrish.com was certainly known as a shock site. Liveleak seemed to move into the mainstream somehow.
They are both news sites, not shock sites, they both have warnings, shock sites have no such thing. 67.161.97.160 20:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

What about the anti-islam movie "Fitna" by Geert Wilders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.56.169.162 (talk) 23:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Is there a source for that first adjective? LL doesn't seem to be right-wing; rather, as the article itself says, it aims for neutrality. --140.180.5.93 (talk) 07:37, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Seems liveleak don't like the word ni**er, but can't really be sure and can't cite anything yet.
I agree, the comment section is extreeeeemely racist, sometimes it's not even worth reading the comments.
Should there be something about the fact that they have a huge number of beheading, accidental death, Gore,etc.. but removed their entire comment feature because suddenly the word "nigger" is somehow more offensive than terrorists executing people?

Liveleak → LiveLeak – The name is stylized as LiveLeak, with two capital L's, on the website and multiple instances in this article. I believe it would be productive to change the name to reflect this stylization.ThunderPower (talk) 19:37, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
What is the point of this section? Does the military restrict access to liveleak too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACanadianToker (talk • contribs) 19:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
I have since deleted that section.
-U.S. soldiers- Since May 14, 2007, The United States Department of Defense has restricted access to websites such as YouTube and MySpace in order to prevent violations of Operations Security.[1] One can easily watch war footage from Iraq and Afghanistan, which many show videos from soldiers of the United States and other countries.

Regarding the foundation date, the following two articles are not an exact clone of each other as I had initially thought:
a. http://uk.businessinsider.com/profile-of-hayden-hewitt-founder-of-liveleak-2014-10
b. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/profile-of-hayden-hewitt-founder-of-liveleak-2014-10
a. Quote: "But on Halloween 2006, Ogrish abruptly shut down, directing its users to visit a new video service: LiveLeak."
b. Quote: "But in November 2006, Ogrish abruptly shut down, directing its users to visit a new video service: LiveLeak."
I have added a reference to (a) in the infobox as that date is also given in the book I added, and since November starts the day after Halloween (b) is not a necessarily contradiction of (a).

Almost overnight...it has turned to crap. It looks like a corpse site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.89.228.162 (talk) 23:51, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
I came across this one and created an account just to clean up the legibility of everything. Let me know if I messed anything up or moved too fast. Trizixx (talk) 18:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi I just read about liveleak.com on wikipedia.
"LiveLeak aims to freely host real footage of politics, war, and many other world events and to encourage and foster a culture of citizen journalism'.[7][8] Hayden Hewitt of Manchester is the only public member of LiveLeak's founding team.[4]"
Liveleak are disabling any comments relating to people of colour, but comments relating to white people are allowed. This is a racist attitude allowing comments ONLY regarding non African origin people. The article should be changed to reflect this anomaly, liveleak are also not allowing users to delete their accounts, presumably to show advertisers how many users they have.
It also deletes the amateur videos and photos of fatal motorsport crashes — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.131.116.234 (talk) 21:22, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Shuts down right whenever Israel/Hamas conflict heats up so that no one can see what is happening in the middle east?
I propose this page LiveLeak be split into a separate title called ItemFix. The content of the current page seems off-topic and these sections are large enough to make their own page. Frontman830 (talk) 22:24, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I also made some grammar fixes. I'm glad to help people understand things! Jason and Henry (talk) 16:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Should LiveLeak be considered a shock site? because LiveLeak was known for mostly having gory and violent videos. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 00:25, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
