Hey, it's me again, it's been a while!
I isolated the issue and did what I could to bring the services back online.
I am still a bit worried as I haven't heard anything from Putt, but I hope that he's just enjoying a few days off somewhere nice and quiet.
Running voat as a one-man-show is insanely difficult, hats off to Putt for keeping it together, especially with a full-time-job on the side. Please give Putt all the support you can, he definitely needs it. This, once student side-project, has grown to something beyond belief and my initial dreams, and it wouldn't be possible without all of you pulling your weight together. Life is hard as it is, we are brought to this ready-made system with little to no room to change anything, and with free information flow getting more and more difficult, I am worried for the future of mankind in general. Idiocracy (the movie) shows a possible outcome, and I sincerely hope that we don't end up there. Question everything, check your sources, talk to each other in person... and don't get distracted by mindless TV shows, movies, games, apps and god knows what. While you're getting distracted, deals are being made every day to take away more and more of your hard earned cash. (sorry for this rant, but I feel that youngsters need to know before they too get caught up in the machine)
Thank you all for staying put, regrouping on preview.voat.co and all over the web (kudos to 8ch for hosting you (hi Hotwheels!), and even organizing your own instances of voat or other similar software.
I hope to see you soon.
Stay safe.

You sneaky sneaky fuckers,
While we were all sitting around shitting ourselves you were just chillin waiting for us all to disperse to the shittier corners of the web to advertise the site, lurkers like myself came out of the woodwork and 1000's of people who hadnt heard of Voat are now going to check the place out and hopefully ingest a few redpills.
4D chess at its finest, I tip my non existent hat to whoever thought up the plan.
That is what happened right? It wasnt just that the sites modem needed to be switched off and on again or something like that was it?
Anyway the thought of never being able to come back to this site was unpleasant, from today I promise to shitpost regularly, bring in as many newbies as I can and never take the place for granted by just lurking like some little bitch.
I dont know what I would have done without this place and all you awesome niggerkikefags
