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)

So I'm guessing this Atko guy is the fella that runs the place?

Yep, he's the new head honcho. Better than Ellen, that's for damn sure.

What proof do we have that Atko isn't Ellen Pao? tinfoil hat

Well I haven't seen the two in the same place at the same time... so it's still possible.

I know I'm safe as I have an Ellen Pao repelling rock. I might ship it to voats servers to keep them safe.
