long form with links much funs version

1. everything seems to be all right

https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1143444/5675043/10#5675043

Atko: "Thanks for filling me in. Sub transfer could be undone, but for the rest of his subs I see nothing good coming out of us interfering. As for all default sub rules - we could try to abolish them all and see how it goes. If spam or irrelevant content floats to the top... well, so be it. I'll talk to Puttitout."

https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1143444/5723980/10#5723980

Atko: "Thank you, this is an eye opener. I will discuss it with puttitout asap. I hope you stay around until we resolve this once and for all."

except maybe for this:

...

and puttitout as well, all seems fine

https://voat.co/v/announcements/comments/1178130/5832730/10#5832730

PuttItOut: "Two tethered iPhone 4s for the database and one IBM thinkpad running Windows Me for the web server. I miss using that thinkpad. /s The reality isn't much different than this IMO."

PuttItOut: "Vote delay fix will be in soon."

2. then atko and puttitout go missing

last things said by atko, where he takes a personality change from always talking dev to getting giggly with @theodorekent not odd, just noting a serious sustained departure from most all previous comments other than test ermergerds and a couple errant ones like <3. (and more specifically to the conspiracy, the marked change is between "downvoating algo needs to change..." 1 month ago to "amen." 1 month ago on this page of his comments:

https://voat.co/user/Atko/comments

his last comments before the long sleep:

https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/comments/1190061/5888713/10#5888713

Atko: "Nah, just casual stuff ;) I ain't famous and I ain't loved. I also ain't powerful :p"

https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/comments/1190061/5888699/10#5888699

Atko: "You're just saying that to make me feel better :p Love you anyways :)"

https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/comments/1190061/5890899/10#5890899

Atko: "I want kids. Lets do it. <3"

before putt dissapears, he says things publicly like:

https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1187332/5874803/10#5874803

PuttItOut: "I'll take care of this tomorrow, thanks for the post."

and then

https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/comments/1190061/5885939/10#5885939

PuttItOut: "Done."

and then promises to finish a manual subverse request for me:

PuttItOut: "No, I usually do transfers once a week, will get to tomorrow. No need to delete/repost."

and then disappears...

for example: https://voat.co/v/subverserequest/new?page=1

he hasn't done a subverse request in a month and a week and a half

https://voat.co/v/test/comments/1148995/5794301/10#5794301

PuttItOut: "

>I'll be back later, like in 3 or 4 hours

Lies!"

lies indeed.

3. the admins at least say goodbye, right?

nop, atko posts this epic post about war after posting a news story about a gay mormon pop singer, and says he's "on the road" at the end of the post offhandedly ( https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1185619 ). consider that https://voat.co/v/announcements/comments/21373 atko has announced a vacation in the past.

4. nothing for weeks

i post a post jokingly taking bets when putt will return https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1223400

until

5. atko returns in chat, posts supposed picture

link to paste of relevent chat text: http://pasted.co/84be96d1

and posts a comment

https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1225872/6054030/10#6054030

then atko posts something about a boy finding out he'll be brother of twins

https://voat.co/v/videos/comments/1228731

6. i post another front-page v/all 'where's putt' post

https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/1229467

7. atko posts an hour later

the "monthly" voat stats

https://voat.co/v/announcements/comments/1229666

and mentions puttitout "What could I or Puttitout do that would make your life easier?" but makes no comment on where putt is, what's happened to him, nor does he say anything to the group of goats bleating for a response on putt's whereabouts.

and also says:

that "I'm alive and well :) I was on holidays but also, Switzerland is amazing during summer, so I take every chance that I get to go out for a ride on my MT07."

8. and now. we hit the 30 day mark. a very long time to go without putt.

Questions Time, Goat Kids!

why did our admins leave without telling? safeguard voat? well, maybe..

why would our admin say he's doing one thing and do another? again, to safegaurd voat?, what against? sanegoat? well, maybe. 8D

why would our admins leave? so many bugs, so many problems, financial instability, alpha getting old, is the last time to go on vaca. maybe they were burned out? take turns vacaying. no time? fine do it together, but keep a watch and a presence through cellphone voat use. sheeit. it's not that hard. what, they failed to consider the options? failed to consider that option? and just left voat for a solid 2 and a half weeks entirely admin-less? we could have posted so much illegal content they would have come back to fibbies and no voat. not only were they gone, we KNEW they were gone. as you may have seen, i've been posting about it regularly.

why all the questions? because the admins won't/can't answer!

it's of considerable concern that the admins would both disappear without a word without a trace for over two weeks, only for one to return after a considerable hullabalo is ruckused up about them missing, and public posts are made; could be causal, could not. but here in v/conspiracy we can't afford to believe in coincedence, so, without much further preface:

THEORY TIME, GOAT KIDS

let's explore the theories i've heard and have had:

Vacation Dicks Theories

putt's on vacation and totally left without telling anyone but atko, and atko's just not bothering to tell us because opsec or to putt (or atko) it could simply be nunya -- - none of our business. although an argument can be made that it is our business. and atko went on vacation as well without telling anyone. at the same time. both without telling anyone. also, it doesn't explain why akto's still silent when we have asked for a bone to be thrown.
there is a rumor putt went to ibiza, so naturally, he may have gone to ibiza, this is in line with the previous theory.
along the prior theory, putt went to ibiza and is dead. it's a crazy world. that's a sad one and we don't like it. or he could be detained, or for some other reason unable to return - sick, injured, etc.
it's possible there's a much larger conspiracy that started within the ibiza vacation. putt could have gotten atko caught up in a uncharted-like mess, "DAMNIT NATE" and while atko's back alittle, he's really just gearing up for the final assault to free putt from the sex-torture chamber in a black fat anti-trump billionare's dungeon under a castle right outside ibiza.

Conspiracy Theories

the vacation stories are a lie; putt and atko are being dissolved in a barrell of acid by the CIA, as they had to replace them; atko's already a replacement atko. replace-putt is currently being trained. this IS v/conspiracy :D
putt's having a laugh on old sane and just not touching voat as long as it wrecks sane's head.
putt and atko were never real, were just covers, this has always been a honeypot...
the GRAND THEORY: putt and atko went missing together, both without saying anything ('goin for a ride' doesn't count, atko), and the only proof we have of atko being back is a picture with no stamp - nor any relative objects like a newspaper with the date - and some text and a couple posts. it took weeks, but the replacements could have tortured the passwords out of them and now have access and are pretending to be atko, and will eventually come on and pretend to be putt once the story they have concoted is all fleshed out. where atko and puttitout are, who knows?

kek v/conspiracy is fun. we should have more voatspiracies... orrr maybe not. 8D

in any case

just remember
