This is just a quick message for anyone visiting Voat for the first time.
We have a known blocking issue in our code base. This means that the site is being a spoiled rotten no good son of... often will toggle off for about 10 seconds and then turn itself back on.
It truly is the most annoying bug you can imagine and we are just so happy to have it along for the ride. To make matters worse, response times are very poor right do to traffic.
So heads up, it's a little like a goat track around here right now.
For two guys with fulltime jobs it is not easy to dedicate the time to find such an obscure bug. As we often do, we have to apologize.
Many apologies everyone. We hate it too.
What we don't have at Voat:
- Server Farms
- Engineers (or even employees for that matter)
- Infrastructure budget
- Marketing department
- Salaries ;)
What we do have:
- Freedom of Speech
- Annoying bugs
- Goats
Anyways, just wanted to say welcome to any new people and we hope that what we have outweighs what we don't have.
If you have the means, please consider donating. Every bit helps and means a lot to both of us. https://store.voat.co/donations

You need 100ccp bfr being a vetted goat.
So get 100 upgoats on you comments & you're clear to fully participate.
We make our shills work hard on getting alt accounts going here at Voat.
TheGunslinger ago
That makes sense. It'll be nice to be free from all the fucking shills.
Rotteuxx ago
We still have them, but they are dedicated professionals for the most part, ya know... higher standards I guess.
Don't forget to also ping @HenryCorp in you comments once in a while, keep that inbox annoyingly full.
TheGunslinger ago
What do you mean about Henry Corp?
Rotteuxx ago
@CANCEL-CAT-FACTS should gladly fill you in on this tid bit of Voat culture.

Sorry bud, we're all about goats over here... but not in that sick muslim way, No Siree !!
And welding, join /v/welding !!
TheGunslinger ago
Welding? I'm not a welder though.
Pumbadog ago
Then fuck you faggot
TheGunslinger ago
I just ordered "welding for dummies" because of you.
Pumbadog ago
I believe welding a skill every person should at least attempt. Make you really respect the trade, plus it's really fun once you can legit build things. Welding, brazing, soft soldering, all around wood work, plumbing, and electrical troubleshooting are all skills any person can pick up and should learn if they are able.
Ps with a response like that, you are alright.

I've always highly respected polymaths, imo any person who doesn't strive to be as polyvalent as possible deserves to pay out of their ass for tradesmen to fix everything for them.
Knowledge is free, basic tools are cheap, no excuse !
