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

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

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.

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.

Wow...shills are out in force!

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.

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%.

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

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.

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.

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.

Holy shit
