In line with our userbase growth (I think we flew over 100.000 accounts), we need to scale up various quotas we had in place. Up until today, users were limited to 10 upvoats per 24 hours if their CCP was lower than X. I just bumped this limit to 100 upvoats per day. Let's see how it goes.
Also, we are working hard on optimizing our existing code before throwing your donation money at more servers. And yes, my vacation is no longer a vacation even though I am still away from home, we're way past that point now. I am putting all my time on handling this influx and I want you guys to know that I won't be able to relax until voat load time goes down to under 1.5 seconds.
Edit: you can try upvoating this announcement post to test if the limit increase works (hehe)

Keep up the good work atko. I am so jealous. Not only do you have a site whose popularity is exploding but you get tons of people willing to help.
Just remember to back up your work and databases. Nothing sucks more than to lose a day's worth of work because your machine locked up.

Actually it looks like I can upvoat any reply, but I can't upvoat any root comment once I pass 10.
