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.

Thanks Atko. Now would you please be honest about what happened to imgjar. I understand you not wanting to pay for it, but you never asked for donations or warned us to give us time to save our pics.

If it wasn't financial and constant abuse of the site by kiddie diddlers like he claimed, then he probably can't talk about it.

When did he complain about the kiddy didlers? I missed that info.

He said he was having to spend way too much time monitoring for those kinds of pictures. It was on one of the posts over in the preview site.
Not surprising really. There have been pics of that nature posted on imgoat before. Saw something borderline there just yesterday.
