Those subdomains are still up. The thumbnails we see come from cdn.voat.co. If you view SVF in light mode, you can see that Voat's earlier logo had black outline. Now I am wondering if someone had collected Voat's logos over the years.
I joined in 2016 but for the life of me I don't remember that bold logo. The voat source code is out there on github, some interesting tidbits in there. Too bad the source can't really be put to use (at least without the know-how on how to set it up ), because I love using c#, I've just never used it in a web environment.
I think the cdn.voat.co subdomain serves images. If that service is shutdown, thumbnails on @SearchVoat's search results will disappear, unless SV already saved a local copy.The_Venerable wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:12 pmi noticed that. Why/how would that be? The server also responds to ping, but I assume that is from cloudflare.
Funny you should mention that. I'm busy downloading those thumbnails as we speak.MadWorld wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:11 pm I think the cdn.voat.co subdomain serves images. If that service is shutdown, thumbnails on @SearchVoat's search results will disappear, unless SV already saved a local copy.
