Buckle up. Voat is currently being hit with a malicious attack. This couldn't have possibly happened at a worse time for me personally and I may have to put Voat into lockdown
mode or even set it to Read Only
. Perhaps we will resurrect the
bit privilege checking goat (you know you miss having your bits privilege checked).
I'm hoping that the code is in a good enough place to handle a majority of the incoming traffic, but expect slow responses.
I will try my best to keep Voat online. Wish me luck.
Edit:
I'm still waiting for the main attack. Every DDOS we've been hit with before follows a pattern of probing exploits, quiet time, then the full attack. So we will see, but waiting is the hardest part
Edit 2:
As of now I feel they've postponed. After taking us down two times the morning of this announcement, I've seen no further activity. A temporary win I suppose.

I'm not exactly proud that I spend so much of my time here.
But the fact is I am here all of the time, everyday.
Voat must be very important to me. Without it I would feel completely isolated from any like minded people of my tribe.
My endless gratitude, Putt.
Please do what needs to be done to keep the masts billowed.

Me too! The only consolation I get when friends, family and coworkers refuse to engage in any meaningful discussions out MSM dogma is the fact that at least they won't bother to vote either way, they won't bother to vote for the dems

Honestly, I’m more of an independent Trump voter than a hardcore conservative, but this is the only place where I can find actual, real verifiable information and news that isn’t complete bullshit propaganda. Love you QRV!

I'm the same.

Exactly how I feel, honestly. I keep wishing I knew more people in my real life who were more informed. It's just so sad to see everyone I know completely engulfed by consumerism and orchestrated distractions to really care enough about truth and what's really going on in the world around them. Not a lot of people I know care much for philosophy, critical thinking and such. I try to stay aware of my phone and mindless Internet consumption these days, but I budget some evening time or at least a work break for this every day because, like you, it's become pretty important to me to check in on the site.

I share that feeling exactly. It's mind boggling how igorant people are and want to remain.

I hear you. but in our defense things are coming to a head and the information is coming hard and fast, and then disappearing just as fast. have to keep on your toes to process it. I do the same thing and its amazing the amount of stuff people are missing out on. try to talk about it in public you just get blank looks or the good old "I love you man, but youre nuts". were witnessing he most amazing period in human history, everyone should be as attentive as we are. but i'm getting fat from all the popcorn.

I can relate! I try to tell my family and friends.. they get that deer in the headlights look.. or they roll their eyes... the MSM has done a bang up job of putting everyone to sleep... no one questions anything... worse, many just are not interested in anything their government officials do! Crazy! One person told me they would believe it when they heard it on the news... sigh....

Sounds like my family. Sigh

ugh.......I didn't think people still said that.

I understand. Reddit great awakening was my life line to like minded people, cant find it in church anymore. Those Christians are dead minded. Before that it was CBTS until they pulled that down aling with great awakening. Joined voat when Q posted link, now their attacking us here. Must be those NPC memes that blew their Gasket. I would like to think it was Wikileaks dropping new info to bring Hillary down but Im more inclined to think its the invasion of the caravan. Its their ops so they need to control the narritive. Maybe they are afraid we might unite and take our guns to the border.
username-way-too-lon ago
We have the military, which Trump has said he will use if/when necessary.
I imagine groups of republicans with guns marching to the border and things getting out of hand is exactly what they're hoping for, because then it's very likely that chaos ensues, and people will become scared and easily manipulated at the perfect time - right before the midterm elections.
dandelion2319 ago
Funny bc at the local churches where I live they are literally red pilling left and right and preparing the community for what is coming. I guess living in rural areas makes things like more likely. My local community is woke as fuck.

You are very lucky, I havent been abke to find a good church in years

Trump can easily counter that false narrative simply by going on national tv and announcing that Hillary's sealed indictment has been unseal.
Stundo ago
Don't kid yourself... It is coming very soon. Read Q post #1: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/146981635/#147012719 You will know this is active because you will see Podesta indicted just before this. That will happen on 11-3-2018: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/147547939/#147567888
721-AQZ ago
Your links apparently show 4chan posts from last year which are saying Hillary and Podesta would be arrested in November of 2017. Which didn't happen. How is this proof that it will happen this year? The Q post says "within the next few days." But in any event, this is the kind of October Surprise is needed in order to disrupt the Deep States' control of the news narrative via Orwellian tactics.
Phil_Free ago
The post of which you speak, did not include a year. It did Not say 2017. Only 11-3. It did not happen on 11-3-2017. That sets up this year. As of the time of my post, 11-3-2018 is less than two weeks away.
SnazzyD ago
Future Proves Past.......my mind will be blown if this all comes to pass THIS year.
721-AQZ ago
Neither of the links mention that these events will take place in 2018. But I hope you're right. Having Hillary and Podesta arrested days before the mid-terms would be poetic justice.
