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.

That makes sense. It'll be nice to be free from all the fucking shills.

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.

Lol. There are some personalities you will get to know here. You will hear of the legend of Amalek also. If you want some voat drama lols you should check out the verse I created and promptly abandoned (left the whole internet for a short while, came back and tried to pretened it didn't happen...) - /v/theology ... I prepared myself for atheists but not what happened.
