In May 2017, a site announcement was made releasing the text of an email purporting to be from a hacking group, giving the site 24 hours to pay a ransom in bitcoin or face a DDoS attack. The ransom was not paid, and no such DDoS occurred.[43]
That one-month long attack should also be included in the history section.
SRS moderator admitted to the PayPal contact and getting the donate button taken, but they saved over the archive link on the Reddit page with the edit over 100 times.
I don't know how those work or I would dig up the original.
@PieceSeeker is quite a historian of Voat, he might have documented it somewhere in his subverse. We could also try to search on searchvoat.co to see if anything turns up.
He has about 10k comments that may contain personally identifiable info in the entirety. As a precaution, he anonymized his comments and temporarily moved to PieceSeeker username. But the bug on Voat hasn't been fixed yet (I believe) for the account recovery.
Don't see them defending anything now.
It might have to do with specific law in his country.

Where did @peaceseeker go off to? I remember them taking on the role of @puttitout cock holster for a time. Don't see them defending anything now.

I think it had to do with admin not being receptive towards suggested help. Least that is what the submission history says.
