Today I will be badging everyone who donated (except for those who told us not to). When you donated, you were asked to enter your Voat username in the description box. If you did not do this for whatever reason, and still wish to receive your donor badge, please wait 24 hours and then if your donor badge is not visible on your profile page, send an email to [email protected] and mention your donation transaction ID and your Voat username. Since the badging process is currently not automated, I will be spending a large chunk of this Sunday on this task.
I would like to use this opportunity to THANK YOU all who donated as your donations are what keeps Voat online and what keeps us motivated to fight our way forward. I wish I could say thank you to each and every one of you personally, but the number of people who donated it just too big to manage.
Anyways, I hope to be able to make another announcement soon with more information on our monthly operating costs. I'd love to do an ama-type thing with Putt and answer any questions you guys may have, but I can't promise anything at this point.

I'm really glad to see you, Atko, and I love the prospect of an AMA with you and Putt.
It saddens me thinking of the amount of work you two put in and the lack of reward you get out of it (mainly money). I'm sure upholding the principles of freedom/free speech mean as much to you as they do to me, and surely that's some justification for your time, but it's still not pay!
That said, I want to say that I personally (and I'm sure many other voaters) understand your guys' absences. You have lives yet you still do what you can for this site when you can. Despite pressure from users if you ever need breaks or vacations, please take them without guilt.
Many of us, myself included, were just worried that potentially something had been compromised or perhaps there were bad things going on in your lives. Just concern for you two, who are some of the foremost fighters and supporters on freedom in the entire digital world. You two are revolutionaries and heroes. Though I had no doubt you had not compromised these values by selling Voat, I was afraid for your personal well-beings. As always I am glad to hear from you. I patiently await the appearance of the One True Putt.
Keep fighting the good fight. I'll continue to do what little I can via donations when I'm able.
