Edit 5:
It's not over, they haven't given up entirely. I took down this sticky a few hours ago thinking that it was old news, but Voat is still being probed and attacked so I am putting this sticky back up.
Edit 4:
As many of you know already Voat is still being attacked, but in many different ways. We now believe this is related to Voat not taking down material without a court order.
Edit 3:
We are still being sent high amounts of traffic. For the time being let's just be happy we have remained online throughout this assault. Sorry about the thumbnails (text only Voat is so 1990s).
Top Traffic Last 24 Hours
DDOS Inflow
Edit 2:
This attack is relentless and dynamic. They have found holes in our system and hit us where we never expected. This has forced us to reconfigure our network and site behavior to prevent repeat attacks.
Voat has been put into "lockdown" mode so things like thumbnail generation are disabled.
Edit:
These guys are actually fairly creative. We might have a worthy opponent here. Buckle up Voat.
One of the reasons yesterday's attempt at rolling forward the port code failed was that Voat was being sent DDOS style requests in very large numbers. See yesterdays announcement about this topic.
Voat is at a stage now that the code can somewhat deal with this without capitulating. Usually these attacks only last 10-12 hours, but this current run has been longer in duration than normal so we are now informing the community that we are actually being maliciously targeted.
Below are some interesting graphs showing some stat data:
Top traffic sources in Last 24 hours
Requests over last 30 days
CPU drop when CF DDOS Protection turned on
I'll provide more info when we have it, but PG.
Until then, enjoy having your bits closely inspected. Please don't be shy about it either, just go with it. This includes the ladies as well... ;)

The strange thing is that all the major mainstream media networks don't even mention Operation Mockingbird even in their biggest conspiracy talk (like the Charlottesville "Unite the Right is Neo-Nazis" narrative that Fox was spewing at the same time as CNN), but Infowars actually does bother to mention the big issues, and reporters there like Paul Joseph Watson are actually smart enough to share some evidence openly debunking the idea of multiple shooters (such as the 4th floor flashing light that was seen on another video timestamped several hours after the first shooting) even as some of their reporters are making videos focusing on those same debunked videos as proof of their current theory for what happened (a series of events you would expect to happen in a place where not everyone was following the pre-written narrative {even though there has been some signs of "controlled opposition" prominent within the 'alternative media' networks, like the Jew-owned "Rebel Media" that always tries to make people "sign petitions" using advertiser-friendly information or "donate to crowd-funding campaigns" even when they already have the funds to do everything the campaign claimed to be for, and even though there have been plenty of examples of people within the Mockingbird media corporations not following the narrative for key points within their articles, like the WaPo writer who used to work for the "Five Thirty-Eight" poll-analyzing company and discovered through research that "gun control" has never worked and will never work}).
Basically, I could see a few of the people either working at InfoWars or calling into the show being planted liars (like big-Ashkenazi-nosed Laura Loomer, who has routinely pushed the boundary of what is acceptable or believable, like the "stop Trump-mimicking Caesar from dying in a Shakespeare play" stunt or the "Mandalay Bay tells its employees to donate to Antifa-affiliated groups" memo, or the caller who talked about "eating babies on Mars" or something along those lines that the media then tried to put in Alex's mouth), but I have a hard time believing that even a majority of the people there aren't actually trying to get to the bottom of these conspiracies and admit their own mistakes if/when they spread misinformation.

It becomes obvious that the 'msm' doesn't actually cover the truth. My biggest redpill was watching Bill Maher pretend like the documentray 'Clinton Cash' didn't exist. The media knows the truth. They don't tell you truth. They tell you what reality to believe, and it has nothing to do with truth.
A wise man once said that there are three sides to every story. There is yours, there is mine, and there is the truth.
What fucking knows what the latter is at this point. They murdered Kennedy, and they've been spoon feeding us reality ever since.

You believe infowars is credible? There was no second shooter. Paul Joseph Watson just yells at the camera and does't say much. They just make you believe bullshit so you're not paying attention to the real shit.
