Edit 8:
Voat is experiencing hiccups. You will see the "Bad Goat" screen when this happens. Working on a resolution.
Edit 7:
They are hitting us again right now. This isn't going to go away. We are going to have to tough this out like real goats.
Edit 6:
Voat is in lockdown mode. No thumbnails, registrations disabled, login required to view any page, etc. DDOS's are why we can't have nice things. I've blocked nearly all "shit hole" countries (Trump term, not mine). Sorry if you are stuck in one (but you won't see this anyways).
What's funny about this DDOS is they simply don't get it. Most DDOS's are damaging to a company financially. Well they already black-listed Voat industry wide so we can't make money using their toys. Goats are goats because we see the Truth, so goats will never change or abandon a place where Truth is spoken. All these DDOS attacks do is annoy us, it doesn't hurt us. You can't hurt us, we are goats, angry goats.
Edit 5:
I spoke too soon. We are getting hit and prodded. Expect issues, we will try our best to minimize them.
Edit 4:
DDOS seems to have stopped over the weekend (but they will be back). I'm leaving this post stickied for now.
We are aware of a bug when you click on "front" or navigate to https://voat.co, https://voat.co/new, etc. While annoying, if you refresh (click the goat) it should go away. Fix coming soon. This should be fixed now.
Edit 3:
Spent most of the day doing maintenance tasks that needed to be done anyways, so what a great time to do it! Also wrote some code that will handle floods a bit better, so we will see how it goes.
On a side note: I am interviewing candidates for my position. It doesn't pay well but you are always needed. ;) (THIS IS A JOKE GOATS, SEE THE ";)"? The joke is that no one would want my position, get it?)
Also of note: This version of the website has a work in progress Markdown library in it. It has some bugs to be worked out yet so apologies on the spacing issues. If you add more than three line breaks Voat will insert a large paragraph spacing element. Just preview your content until we get this sorted out. This should be addressed.
Edit 2:
I know I'm lighthearted about this but they did take down Voat earlier. What I know about DDOS attacks is they will change it up. So buckle up buckaroos.
Edit:
We are being sent malicious traffic so I had to bring the privilege checking goat out of retirement.
Seems they don't like this post. (This is the url they appear to be trying to flood.)

Or perhaps they are just trying to download every copy we have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'll keep you posted but enjoy the pat downs for now.

Well I'll be double fuckered. I always figured the Pizzagaytards were generally correct, but I didn't figure 'em to be on target enough to get DDOS'd specifically.
Well done, ya cunts, and I'll give you more respect and attention going forward.

Very true. Would love to analyze the origins and paths downwind.
On second thought, I'd rather live, someone should tho, someone with a bodygaurd.

Until you wake up and realize that Dr. King had bodyguards -- who the feds hired to assasinate him. Those who knew him knew he lacked the funds to hire personal security
He should have been a federal official himself -- but he was black and ineligible for duty at that time in history. He died so we would all know he wasnt equal. Thats why black people have more rights today. If he had lived under oppression steadfastly no one would have bothered to demand civil rights they did not know they lacked systematically.

The wildcards they are the hidden people in the deep underground military bases (D.U.M.B) (google it, not made up)
Another one is that there are secret 'circles' inside the various intelligence services, very much like the 'deep state' in politics.
There is a very good book written about it, 'the secret team' https://ratical.org/ratville/JFK/ST/
Not least, MOSSAD piloted the drone/bomb into ONI's part of the pentagon, seems to be some bad blood there.
Worth keeping in mind is that ONI was connected to the Philadelphia experiment and all the potential lessons learned from that etc.

I am familair with the DUMBs and the idea that a split off society is being bred and indoctrinated in these facilities.
I would call it crazy, except they exist and millions go missing from our surface society daily.
I will check out that book, thank you for the recommendation.
WickedVocalist ago
Yeah and people in this very thread keep suggesting people on Voat they want there like they are new Nazis.
Whether they have already doxxed those people or not remains to be reported.
I miss the good days when you actually had to commit a crime to go away and k ow that you committed said crime as well as Good amount of people agreeing you did it.
Now its as easy as a pointing finger and printing a debt or two up. As easy as saying someone owes someone else.
Say we are already at the stage where a mental health or court appointed official can take a semi high functioning adult and post them indefinitely in unmarked accomodations in plain public spaces like motels.
Then whats to stop them from taking a field trip to CO and euthanizing them?

Glad to help

What sorts of thing do they do down there?

There is only leaks and a few hints, but its 'another world' compared to ours.

Not saying he have all the answers, but he have put a lot of hours into researching a lot about them.

Should be enough to get you started.
This guy claims to be a geologist/son to a high-ranking military father, worked on the bases in that capacity.
He 'hung himself' shortly after this lecture.

There are others like him, to some extent and they all 'tell the same story' in a sense, but maybe its a to big pill to swallow.

If I told you I have been inside a coed facility like that unlisted and hidden from my family for nearly two years without having been convicted of a crime then what would you say?
iTSSOGRiM ago
Hmm, wanna elaborate on that?
