Voat Was Sent An Angel (announcements)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

We've been through some "fun times" over the years Voat, and every minute of it was a challenge but I'm excited to announce that Voat was finally sent an Angel.

I've been in ongoing discussions for months now regarding bringing in a partner. I'm happy to confirm that we have finalized and moved forward with an agreement that will give Voat the future it always deserved. I'm so happy right now. I'm happy we didn't give up when things got tough. We truly earned our Goat badges (and the scars are pretty cool too).

At this time, given the world we live in, it's best to keep some of the details of this deal guarded, at least until Voat gets acclimated to the partnership and the newness fades.

What is important to say is this:

  1. Voat will remain a company dedicated to Freedom of Speech (and Privacy - more later)
  2. I will remain CEO, will work solely on Voat in a full time capacity, and continue to make all decisions regarding policy moving forward
  3. This deal was realistic and fair (no one is buying a yacht and retiring)
  4. Voat will be given a reasonable budget to hire one or two employees (I will continue writing code myself as well)
  5. Voat will be given partial assistance in operating costs, requiring us to fulfill the rest.

I feel that I negotiated successfully on behalf of Voat and every Goat here. You were always in my thoughts as my primary objective was to make sure Voat was protected and our ideals maintained. Although they'd be too polite to admit it, I had to be a (t)horn in their side at times.

In summary, Voat was given the essentials to run as a real business instead of a part time project. We still have to run a tight ship, control costs, generate income (hello merch!), and grow as we weren’t handed a blank check. Most importantly this deal ensures that Voat remains dedicated to the principals it was founded upon.

Is this technically a Christmas miracle Voat? (You better say Yes)

I love you Voat. Always have. Always will.

Merry Christmas Goats!

Remain skeptical......this is what happened with Reddit too.

Besides who would buy this place? Not saying it is imposible just keep watching.

Well you already think putt is an evil traitor so why even stick around even now?

Lol that is what you want everyone to think, but I know what ATF told me, and I am sure they got the info from this site.

ExpertShitposter ago

You reported your self.

Lol alrighty, distort the truth for whatever reason. It is Christmas today you know. Celebrate the day for fucks sake and take a break from your agenda for a day at least.

I found my original Xbox from 04 and am playing some old games with my kiddo. Perhaps you can do something similar?

Whats this then? https://imgoat.com/uploads/878a7ab84f/166020.png

Ratting out people to ATF, then being surprised when they show up.

Lol this is what you people do. You take everything out of context to fit your narrative and skew the facts. It is almost as if you think anyone here gives a good goddamn about anything that is said here.

This statement was made in response to the many emails I got from someone that requested I make them firearm lowers for the AR15 platform. Someone that was attempting to curb a subverse I created by asking me of all people to endanger a right people in America have had since it's inception.

It was right after this statement was made that I deleted my Voat account because someone was attempting to dox me. The ATF is who showed up and was not due to this as they never mentioned it.

This statement was made in response to the many emails

Let me correct that for you.

This rat snitching to ATF was made in response to many troll emails that i thought were real.

Someone that was attempting to curb a subverse I created

Let me correct that for you.

Someone that was troling my autistic brain.

The ATF is who showed up and was not due to this as they never mentioned it.

Let me quote YOU from a month ago:

They asked to see the emails, when i showed them, they lost interest.

How funny you are with the inability to make one comment without some insult in there for someone. This is how I know you are all women. There isn't a male alive with this much emotional investment for something.

You have to get the last word no matter what and then obscure everything to twist it into what you want because hey that is what you think matters. To win some foolish thing you hold that matters. You want to be within the admins good side for whatever reason because you have an agenda, and you will do whatever it takes to get there.

You know I don't have one as I have been asked to mod subs and I could have kept my old name, but for some reason out there people didn't like me speaking about making your own guns. They went through a lot of trouble to make sure I didn't. No one fought for it, but me so I said fuck it let people figure it out themselves.

I realized then that none of this matters except those that crave influence of others with these sites like this. Those people want a following and find them within places like this. So fuck it I decided to stop fighting and justification of myself for zero reasons.

There is 0 emotional investment. I am giving you the facts. You have trouble with it since it collides with the fantasy scenarios you have in your head.

No one ever wanted to stop you from doing anything. You got trolled, and your mind melted unexpectedly.

You lost it, called everyone a faggot, sent reports to ATF, deleted everything, and ran away.

Now you are back since there is 0 content on that other shithole website, and blaming others with grand conspiracy theories. The only truth is that you got trolled, and you ratted to cops and stabbed people in the back.

If there is zero emotional investment why are you so adamant upon your version of events seeing as you were not there and feel the need to downplay another site that has zero effect on this place?

For a couple months I was not on either site due to moving away from PA.

There may not be nearly as much content as far as volume on phuks, but it does have genuine discussion without speaking of Jews, Hitler, or anything else to further an agenda of derogatory nature to harm the sites image. Kinda strange how everyone says there is rampant censorship there and I never saw it.

Yet the moment someone doesn't tow the line here one of you Soapboxbanhammer types come out of the woodwork with your version of events to have your say. Then tag team someone until they stop responding.

Time and Time again I have explained the events of why I left. It pains you to actually think anyone would do such a thing, but oh well it did and how they got it for sure is their secret. I however am over it and honestly I am happy Voat got a partner that can keep this place going.

This place needs to exist to keep the unsavory aspects of society in one place. Just needs to be here so they stay away from other places out there on the net. It is a system of balance is all, and it must exist. Eventually this place will falter to default of all the others before it.

Just history and how it repeats. Some good people here that will likely go to phuks like lock and others. The consistent need to win a personal victory is what makes this place so exhausting. The narcissistic people here are what will bring it down.

So recount your own version of events that happened within my life and not yours because hey that makes for a better tale doesn't it? Get your votes and win that personal victory.

You earned it.
