What did they do this time?

What did they do this time? (announcements)

submitted 9.7 years ago by Atko

Voat is currently getting hit with a huge amount of traffic as a direct result of recent changes happening over at that other place.

Everyone, we’re sorry. We’re both sad to see what we once loved change in this manner, but we’re also excited about the future, but our future won't be traveling down this same path.

We won’t be getting any sleep tonight (again) and we are doing everything we can to handle the traffic.

Our budget is limited but we’ll make sure to fight to the last penny in order to keep Voat alive for this community. If you want to donate, well, now is the time. Our bitcoin address is 1C4Q1RvUb3bzk4aaLVgGccnSnaHYFdESzY.

I think the spike won't happen that day - there is already a steady exodus. Traffic will only go up consistently every day as users see the Soma over here. Having Voat up consistently (and avoiding DoDNS attacks - I'm looking at you Pao) is very helpful. Nice job Voat admin team! Hopefully you didn't have to sell your souls for the internet fu to absorb the reddit wave!
