They've come for us. Again. (announcements)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

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.

Censorship indicates that we're on the right track. Soros is the final boss and his health meter is running low. A few more combos to his fronthole and it's lights out libtards.

I wonder if this has anything to do with @TexasVet going to the FBI

draaaak ago

I think it probably has more to do with the elections coming up. Voat is not one of (((their))) platforms, and they have no real way of controlling it other than shills and malicious attacks.

shadow332 ago

Yikes. Is that guy being serious?

MadWorld ago

XD Didn't he also submit a post about how corrupted and fucked up the FBI is? Yet, he reported you to the FBI.

I have archive of his comment history. You can have it all free of charge! :-) It will help proof that he too has insulted you and other goats.

xAIRBORNEx ago

PROVE not proof

MadWorld ago

:-) Good catch!

antiliberalsociety ago

therealkrispy ago

Heh. You just told the world you have alts.

DestroyerOfSaturn ago

What the fluoride? That doesn't sound texan or vet like.

Drakgan ago

Agreed, a true Texan woulda shot him.

dunklederf ago

why do you think many people have been calling this faggot out. i made a thread about him just recently.

memememema ago

not even i am that crazy.

censormynuts ago

This was exactly my thought. One of these frontholes is talking out of their backhole and not being completely honest here. Either that or the military has gotten extremely homosexual lately.

Hydrocephalus ago

The military has always been super gay. Faggots are the only ones who want to stay in, play dress up, and spend all their time crammed into small spaces with a bunch of sweaty dudes.

SnazzyD ago

Wow...shills are out in force!

Hydrocephalus ago

How is it shilling to point out that the military is extremely homosexual? Ask anyone that's been in, the military is gayer than an AIDS parade.

JastheMace ago

Army and Navy are, not sure about the Marines but I was in the air force and it's not huge there, maybe 10-20% max. Obvious lesbos and gays upon sight, maybe 5%.

Hydrocephalus ago

Air force doesn't count, they have way hotter women.

censormynuts ago

The military is more of a necessary evil like closing your doors at night because you're worried about who's going to break into your home. You may sneer down at them, but you are no different than them in principle. You guard your own life just like the military is obligated to guard yours. Parent has a duty to child, Military has a duty to society. That's why they have to make their beds in the morning. I can afford not to because no human lives are under my care. They don't have that luxury. Their habits become the nation's consequences.

Hydrocephalus ago

Military is obligated to guard yours

You misspelled Israel's

Also, I'm not sneering down at them, I'm pointing out that the military is run by, and packed with faggots. Anyone who's ever been in would agree with me, the military is super gay.

censormynuts ago

Maybe we could get some military people to chime in and see if they are homosexuals

Hydrocephalus ago

Well I did five years in the Army so I'm nkt basing it on nothing. One of the reasons I got out was because it was so fucking gay. Seriously, one of the guys in my platoon was reenlisting in Iraq and the sergeant major stopped by and ordered the guy to remove his shirt so he could "check out his tattoos". And that is just one of many examples.

censormynuts ago

Holy shit

slickleg64 ago

Contacted FBI over some dude getting harrassed on an online forum. Right.

u_r_wat_u_eat ago

I've received death threats before, you bet your ass I'd be more than happy to turn that person into the FBI

MrDarkWater ago

its just another version of the "my father works at nintendo" meme

censormynuts ago

Is this his first time on the internet? Ho Lee fuk.

drj2 ago

It’s the same guy that scammed people for donations cause he couldn’t pay for blah blah and went and bought a bunch of guns.

censormynuts ago

Some people just get way too invested in their internet adventures

SYNCORSWIM ago

You have to allow yourself to be harassed on the internet. Here's a solution. Ignore the people harassing you. They'll eventually give up. Or, use a different name when posting. That guy is wanting to start trouble.

MrDarkWater ago

Agree and amplify is fun, and if you dont value your time take it to the end with every argument on the internet. That doesnt mean follow them around and harrass them, because you know, thats grounds for dialing up the FBI, But waste a shills time without giving them what they want.

censormynuts ago

Yeah I think some people just don't understand that the internet isn't real life. These are exactly the type of people who make the internet their wife. They become overly intimate with complete strangers and they see every comment as a life-or-death struggle to become emotionally invested in like they are protecting their own children. I'd like to think that it's just part of learning how to deal with words on a screen, but I suspect the problem may be a little deeper than that and that the internet is just good at exposing it and making it that much more apparent to anyone watching.

Here's a solution. Ignore the people harassing you

Simple yet underrated advice that most people should vaccinate their frontholes with before they end up becoming a Navy SEAL copypasta parody.
