I may have been talking slightly out of my ass on that one. I didn't bother re-looking for any of the things I found around new year and just typed the most relevant things from memory. I know I came to the conclusion that I would have to tell you around March if we didn't get satisfactory answers. If it was at the start of March or at the end of it I don't really recall. Basically I saw a topic that would fit for telling what I knew and decided I had enough of the secrecy.
Voat is likely to stay for a little while still, but I'm not sure it's still here when we reach summer. Certainly not in its current form.
It's ok, you are probably right. I was looking too. Through ownership it didn't take me far, maybe you can seemore here: https://website.informer.com/voat.co
I've already had this gut feeling on 17th august last year, so I looked old Putt's posts and comments.. either something really big happened to change his personality, or is some other person behind that nick since 7th avg last year. Also Atko's "Marry Christmas" post - he is from muslim part of Bosnia, so I'm sure (including my small test) that that was not Atko.
BUT, I thought about it really a lot,.. every day Voat is up and available without censuring, that counts, so I've decided that this is more important than digging who is owner. I wonder where really Putt is though.
Pretty sure both Atko and Putt are still who they have always been. Atko stopping by around Christmas is nothing new either. I think he's done that ever since he left.
Anyway there's just something about the whole timeline that is off. Putt(finally) realize you can't run a site this size solo and ask goats to apply for positions to help out. Shortly thereafter would be when PIA and Kape started talks about merging. And then everything turned to shit. Putt disappear along with cynabuns. We got attacked by spambots that suddenly no longer need 10 ccp to post. The whole site was ungodly unstable..
It's worth noting that Putt only made his brief return after edon.garden and imperialfamily.com suddenly had a spike in traffic from Voat. Something that was very much intentional on my part. I wanted them to know that some of us knew. I unfortunately wasn't online at the time because I would have liked to have had a talk with him as you can imagine.. None of the others that knew got anything either.
I don't blame anyone for how things turned out. Atko created something beautiful and Putt made it even better. Having had a look at the other projects PIA sponsored I even believe they helped us out of good intentions.

All good things must come to an end I guess.
