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.

Assuming they and they, are the same. Many different they.

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.

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.

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?
