Following my suggestion that I'd like to enforce rules in addition to the site-wide rules, some of you had expressed being very much against it. After reading your replies, I have reconsidered.
I am not interested in introducing a schism in the community, and was further persuaded when I heard of the disappointment of some current readers. I have reversed all moderator bans of users to the sub.
I'd rather be on mutually respectful terms with my fans. Thanks for your patience.

Welcome to the club @stonetoss!
It isn't easy around here but these goats are all lovable teddy bears underneath.
Except for @moe. I hate that guy.

Abandoned issues?

Broken heart yeah. I'm only half the man without my @moe.

Kinda miss having all three of you around. At least you haven't burnt out completely quite yet, although you seemed a bit rough a while back.

I've been burnt out countless times over the years. Severely. I'm sure it was easy to notice. Wasn't my best.
I don't know any software project as large as Voat being run by a single person, then add in the highs and lows of the community aspect and I'm just thankful I haven't dropped dead at various moments. No lie.
This reminds me of the Pao days when working for 72+ hours straight was not uncommon.
I miss @DanielFlamino a lot as well. He was fun.

@HPOP, @stretched_girl (rip), @HWY__395, @DerKatalog, @FuzzyWords, @MightyYetGentle, @Mick, @FuzzyWords, etc, etc.
These are just a few select ones I pulled off of /v/HallofRemembrance. We have lost so many great goats over the past several years, but new ones have continued to rise. Honestly, I feel that we've been doing pretty good the past few months population wise.

You don't really know who's not around until someone mentions them. Also, I just realized I have FuzzyWords twice.
