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.

Sometimes I wish we went the civil war route, it would have been quicker and no needless trials afterwards! This may sound barbaric but most of these assholes can't be helped anyway and we will have been able to vent years of pain and frustration from watching these shit bags run our country onto the rocks and the American Military would have been on our side! No french revolution shit just a good house cleaning!!! P.s. I am all in favor of the assassination of George Soros anytime, personally i'd get great satisfaction out of blowing that asshole right off his toilet myself for the pain that piece of shit has brought to this world!
