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.

The DS is pulling out all the stops. Red tsunami means DECLAS, tribunals, and nooses. Stock market crash, missile attack, EMP, etc., are all possibilities.

That's why Trump has NATO with our nuclear strike force up at the Arctic circle - first time in 30 years. That's why Putin told the world last week that the Russian constitution forbids them to launch a first strike. He said if he finds one nuclear missile on the radar anywhere in the world "Russians will go to heaven" and the rest of us "will just die". I think that was on RT.
