Whoever makes the next similar thing should seriously consider throwing the sign up CAPTCHA away and replace it with an IQ test. After all the attacks Voat has withstood I never imagined it would be stupid users that brought the site down, but that appears to be the case.

Some of us is sitting on something that we may have to share with the rest of you shortly if we don't get some answers soon..

Voat is dying, how to we get more users?

I know, let's bar a huge chunk of the population and set arbitrary restrictions on the users! That'll help.

notice that the guy saying we need new users (OP) is a new user. member for 8 days.

muh open borders!

If the problem is a shrinking user base, restrictions on new users won't help that. Voat users can't just breed to create new users....

without refugees, Voat will not survive!

The bulk of its user base doesn't contribute anyway. Proof is on the front page; the top voted posts never increase after registration opens up.

Do you sort by new?

That has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I was talking about the max number of votes a top voted post gets. It's always been 150-300 on average. We get thousands of new users, that number never jumps to 1,000 like it theoretically should. Reddit had some 5,000 even before the cuckening.
