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.

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.

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.
