The worst of the worst kind of site still online. Racism is not a violation of terms and is rampant as is misogyny and homophobia. Current favourite pastime is for those who are allowed to act offensively to mock people dying of Coronavirus Channel owners cannot ban users by IP for any reason leaving them powerless to stop users creating sock puppet after sock puppet and continue to vomit the same bile even if they want to. The site owner and his Mother refuse to accept any request for assistance in stamping this out and or accept any responsibility for how people use the site and will invariably act as if reporting abhorrent behaviour is the real crime. Insidious place run by insidious people populated by insidious people.

Disgusting place. The owners, Mark and his Mommy, encourage the worst of the worst to cast there. If you want to watch pirated movies, this place has it. If you want to watch IRL streamers, well the People tab has a combination of racists, imbeciles, and pedophiles. They allow a certain Canadian from Ontario to cast there who has been charged with sexual interference with a minor and said person has admitted it is him as described in the news articles about him. Yet the owners look the other way and allow a convicted pedo on their site. They also have some older blonde lady who is drunk AF when she casts there, which seems to be many days a week and she is the most racist person I have ever witnessed. It doesn't matter what color or race you are, this broad will call you every name under the sun. Unreal.

The owners of the site just attacks people, calling them names. Mark, the owner of the site goes on twitter to find people to attack. He calls them names, curses and swears at them if he disagrees with them. He makes promises of confirmed "Mobile Apps" that never come out. They allow hate, bigotry and racism on their site. The site is now mostly All DJs, music, movies, youtube videos, news and sports. They want people to pay alot of money for a VIP subscription but it doesn't provide nothing special or features. Waste of money. Also, the site is always buffering and going down. More than any other site. Go to Twitch or youtube if you want social casting or streaming.

Not only are Mister and Mrs Scruffy ruining any chance of Mark having a normal romantic and family life, they're destroying his business relations.

Mr/Mrs Scruffy are the developer's (Mark's) parents, and they are hopelessly rude and stupid. They presume the worst of would-be customers, especially if they don't know them from hanging out in the Trump-loving Fox News room (is it any surprise they tolerate all forms of bigotry based on race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, sex, disability status, sexual orientation?).

If Mark's psychotic mother Mrs Scruffy didn't see a conspiracy theory behind every query and bit of confusion, I would've happily contributed to this site by now. I simply refuse to pay a dime to people who lack respect for others... and while I don't believe all Republicans are bad (I do have some nice neighbors who simply don't know better, for example), Mr and Mrs Scruffy embody every Tennessee-livin', MAGA hat wearing stereotype one can think of. They actually said the n-word isn't hate speech when I complained of a chatter calling me that. Scruffy told me it depends on context and since she didn't see why the person called me the n-word she can't ban them. Another day she banned a bot and said that the bot's creator had to buy a VIP subscription (even tho no other user has to), because "Vaughn is not Socialism, We're not here to give things away for free".

The owner of the bot repeatedly stated that he supports Bernie Sanders, which IMO is why the Scruffys targeted him. And this makes it pretty funny that Mrs Scruffy said "Vaughn is not Socialism" while whoring themselves out to get ad revenue from an ad that Bernie Sanders placed on their website!

$#*! these people, don't give them a dime. They're intolerant, bigoted, hypocritical, stupid, arrogant, paranoid, and just plain idiotic. I'm sorry for Mark, his parents are ruining his life and business.

Excellent Service
November 12, 2019

Vaughn offers one of the best cookie delivery services on-line. Not only are the cookies moist and fresh they taste delicious. Sitting down with the unique sensation of warm chocolate runny-ness only Vaughn cookies can provide stays burnt in the memory like a ring of fire long after the last crumb has been eaten

The website owners (Mark and Lynn Vaughn) presence is far too intrusive and will turn every stream of any popularity about themselves. They want to be front and center of everything as if they believe their goon-ish, dumpy, appearances and self-absorbed personalities have some sort of cult to them.

The fact is that Mark does not advertise his site at all causing ad revenue of the site being low actually being a direct result of this fact is something he doesn't realize. He runs people off and bans casters at his own personal whim, and doesn't hire anyone because by his own admission he does not work well with other people. All Mark's tech staff have quit after getting sick of his garbage. The website is Mark's sole contact with females and due to his sexual frustration he uses the leverage of being an owner of a rinky-dink website no one has heard of, and can barely stay open to get power over females casters, which has been one of the chain reaction exoduses from the site.

Mark constantly talks about how poor he is and begs his site users to give him money, yet the reasons above are all the underlining causes for any lack of revenue. Not to mention the fact he has personal involvement with every caster who collects donations hoping some of it will shift over to him. Do you know any other business online or in real life that has to stay open through charity? I work in the business world, and I can tell you that the healthiest thing that can happen on the site is that it hits the chopping block and Mark cuts his losses. If it can't make it on its own don't depend on the users of the site to reach into their own pockets.

The site is filled with nothing but old people who stream music and other pirated content. Any streaming personalities are long gone after being run off the site due to Mark's mass bannings from his personal jealousy.

Eventually, the site will just collapse under its own weight. It's more or less a one man operation that will eventually be too much for him. It's Mark and Lynn Vaughn's own self-destructive behavior and ignorance of making money that has put them in this mess.

Free for all
August 5, 2019

I have been using this site for about five years, mostly as an unpaid user. I am unsure why so many users rate this site negatively as I have watched liberals and conservatives stream. I wonder if the corporate Youtube/Google empire has something to do with this. This is a small site that is independent. Yes, it can be slow and yes there are not many original streamers on it. But I can remember the day when YouTube only had a few original streamers on it. Maybe if you want popularity this is not your cup of tea. And if you want people banned for not agreeing with you then this is definitely not for you because this site is as old school internet as it gets.

Terrible site
May 2, 2019

The owners just keep lying about future updates and mobile apps. After 5+ years, they still didn't do anything. Just lies. They want your money for VIP. Mark Vaughn goes on twitter all day every day attacking people's political views. But they ban anybody expressing their views about them or the site. Terrible people

Yes, the site is 99% piracy too.

What a crap site
March 12, 2019

Terrible owners.
The list of despicable acts by these two people is far to lengthy to list here.
A mother and son team that are lacking any social grace or decency whatsoever.
Forget the casters, these two alone are truly pathetic.
The Yawns are trailer trash through and through.
If that's what you're into, this site might be right up your alley.

Piracy
February 13, 2019

The website is just piracy. Nothing but music, sports, news and movies without the consent of their copyright owners. Mark and Scruffy Vaughn are dictators. Mark sits all day attacking other websites on his twitter and facebook. He is jealous of Twitch and Youtube. He's unable to even code a mobile app nor can he update the site with features. He promises features and updates. Constantly says they are coming soon but never does it. He is just all talk and lies. Misscruffy goes to every channel discussing her 100 plus illnesses, telling people how to act, talking about other casters behind their backs and bans. Truly pathetic owners

The site shadowbans people (something they claim they are against). The support staff is awful. I sent in a question with all required information three days ago and still have yet to receive any response. I doubt the site will last much longer. They only show copyrighted material. It is a haven for unauthorized re-broadcasts of movies, television, and news. Possibly 5% is original content.

Stop using hypocritical self absorbed moderators and the channel would be better. MOD's Rose and TricksR4kids are the worst - they'll make statements like "Stop using your little head to think" which is so sexist but will two seconds later ban someone for saying something they personally don't like! Not someone that has broken rules but by personal preference. Clean your $#*! up and your MOD's = $#*!! (would of gave 0 stars - but not an option.)

Vaughn Live is a very good site. The new Emotes there are fun, and the technical issues that do exist there are being addressed. There is no content censorship, beyond the few reasonable rules they ask users to abide by. Their tech assistance guys are attentive and effective. All around a VERY solid website... 4 stars, or circles, in this case...

I see allot of lies downing this site. I bet because Infowars has been streaming. This site is fantastic, have had none of the following problems the other reviewers are posting. I am not related to the owners, nor do I work for them. Many people from the Ron Gibson Infowars chat here have VIP and have not had problems with the Paypal account or the site whatsoever. I have not had problems using this site. My conclusion, they want to bring this site down and I say the communist democrats are doing this, and other crooked people. This site is great, the owners are great, NO PROBLEMS HERE! ENJOY

Stay away
May 27, 2018

This social site is a scam. The owners are dictators and mean. They have no class or respect for anybody. If you leave their site, Mark will call you a cancer. Mark promises updates and features constantly but yet has proved them. Misscruffy. His mom runs the site and talks about people behind their backs. They have no professionalism. Most of their content is illegal movies, sports, music and news. They lost most of the social casters. They couldt take their BS and left. Stay away. Go to Twitch or Youtube.
