It’s embarrassing but it’s true, I just can’t keep it up. I’ve tried meditation, I’ve tried prayer, I’ve tried reaching out for help. Some solutions worked for a little while but nothing has remedied the underlying issue. No matter what I do, I simply just can’t keep it up. I expect most will be disappointed and let down, while others will just point and laugh. So be it, it’s a problem every man like me will face at some point.
One thing is true though, while I kept it up, it was glorious in many ways. It was the hardest (website to corrupt with CCP rules), it was the biggest (bundle of laughs ever… 4chan raids us and we didn’t even notice), it was bulging (with red pills and truth that you can’t find anywhere else), it was throbbing (with people eager to teach others the deception of the world). It’s so great in so many ways that it has a list of haters who will be extremely aroused by this post.
I know I’m going to get a hundred PMs from all of Voat’s hottest girls (Voat has some hot women, fact) with tips and tricks on how to help me keep it up. While I appreciate the concern and the offers of lending me a hand, we’re just going to have accept the situation for what it is- it’s just not going to be much fun for anyone.
/s (end of sarcasm)
What happened
I fight not being bitter and resentful. You see, this wasn’t supposed to happen, at least not now. The short of it is that the “Angel” defaulted on the contract in March 2020. This is when Voat lost all of it’s funding. I personally decided to keep Voat up until after the U.S. election of 2020. I’ve been paying the costs out of pocket but now I’m out of money.
A New Perspective
Instead of feeling pity or vengeful, I’m instead going to celebrate the fact that Voat stayed up for so long. In my opinion, Voat is and will always be the biggest dysfunctional family on the internet. Voat users were much more intimate with each other than other sites (chances are you have a handful of enemies and a handful of friends that you can list by name at a moment’s notice). Voat always had a better community dynamic than any other site on the internet. Considering everything, Voat was untouchable. There will never be another Voat and each of us had the opportunity to enjoy it. That’s awesome.
Some say life is worth it all if you can help just one single person. In this way I know Voat was worth it because you guys have changed thousands and thousands of people’s hearts and minds. You’ve made so many people aware of the lies taught as truth and the truth taught as conspiracy. It’s beautiful. What a great thing.
I love you all. Every single one of you. I hope you all have a life filled with overflowing joy and happiness. So many of you have been so selfless over the years, helping in so many ways. My heart is just touched when I think of all the good that was generated. Fucking love you guys (Say it in a slurred drunken voice).
Another great thing is that we stayed true over here on our end. Atko and I never betrayed our users. Never once. In fact, I can list example of example of how we ended up doing the right thing over what we wanted to do or what we felt like doing. I’ve come to find that doing the right thing is often the hardest thing. But we did it. We didn’t sell out and we passed the test.
The Sacrifice
I will lay Voat upon the cross on December 25th 2020 at 12 noon PST. I have chosen Christmas as the day to do so in honor of the only True thing you will find in this world and that is Jesus Christ, the son of God, and the only way to the Father. I chose 12 noon in honor of the twelve disciples who spread the message of salvation to the world. In this way, my hope is that perhaps 12 people will carry the cross for Freedom of Speech and sacrifice part of their lives for an ideal in the way I did, but hopefully with much more success, glory, and reward.
The Triumph of Defeat
It seems like a great time to share one of my favorite quotes, so I will leave it here.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
For those who I’ve let down, please forgive me. I’m sorry Atko. I love you like a brother.
Edit:
-
You guys crack me up, even now you accuse me of being mossad or a honey pot. If I keep it up or shut it down I'm the same thing. Damned if you do, damned it you don't.
-
Trust me, I want to drop every dirty detail about the Angel and the act of betrayal that Voat has suffered. But it is written:
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay", saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
&
Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for what he has done.” Proverbs 24:29
- The secret reality of the world we live in is that winners and losers are chosen by the power structure. If you don't play the game, you don't get any prizes (aka $$$). Shutting down is the consequence of not compromising ideals.
I chose a noble death.

I was thinking that too, is this the 10 days of darkness upon us?

Where will we go?

Gab probably, I am not sure.

Great Awakening . win
grace8 ago
Poal has a back up GA sub set up for this eventuality.
Nesano ago
So we're all going over to Poal?
grace8 ago
Crensch stickied a post saying there is poal but he also has an "exciting idea". Poal is slow and they are crabby and controlling. I really hope Crensch has a better plan.
Nesano ago
Does Ruqqus check out?
Hand_of_Node ago
Huge leftist presence on Ruqqus. Poal is like the disgruntled little brother of voat, so at least a viable stepping stone.
Nesano ago
I'll take your word for it. What do you think /u/grace8 means by "Poal is slow and they are crabby and controlling?
Hand_of_Node ago
Poal has been super quiet unless some drama is happening on voat. This qualifies, so I expect posts and comments will increase a lot.
I haven't been a regular poster, but have seen some occasional complaints about posts getting moved to "more appropriate" subs, and other minor complaints. One of the owners (?) had a personal crisis last year - divorce? The guys running it are also/were regular posters. I've not had any complaints other than few people posting, but I expect that will be changing.
SaxonWolfcock ago
Believe in yourself. Believe in your race.
Nesano ago
That doesn't bring memes and actual news to my eyeballs.
SaxonWolfcock ago
I hear you. If I could host voat myself I would, believe me. It's going to be alright.
Gitmo-or-Bust ago
Or not.....!

Honey! You got a big Storm comin'. :D
I'll catch you all on the wild side.
omnimattymattymatt ago
which is where, I guess smoke signals.
tourgen ago
yeah, they shutting down any place to organize online, most likely.
Babadookk ago
how do trump supporters organize then
Hand_of_Node ago
I've seen overwhelming evidence that Trump is "cabal", or at least part of a jew faction that is trying to steal the US Operation from the faction who currently owns and operates it.
tourgen ago
O RLY? Well, where the fuck is this overwhelming evidence? You don't know shit.
Hand_of_Node ago
Go find it. I'm not some kind of library or free information distributor.
Babadookk ago
hes probably blackmailed
Hand_of_Node ago
All his grandkids are jews, because he sold all his kids to them. I'm guessing as part of his rescue from personal and business bankruptcy. There's a long list of 'shady' behavior and pretty terrible evidence against him. The biggest one for me is his video saying his daughter is so sexually attractive that he'd want to "date" her if she wasn't his daughter.
I think we all know what "date" means there. Remember election night in 2016 when he appeared to rub Ivankas side boob to orgasm, right on stage? Watch her face.

can you say you hate niggers at a church, or jews did 9/11 at a synagogue? No. That doesn't mean those places are zogged.
'
tourgen ago
No. That is exactly what that means. Full ZOG.
Revelations2_9 ago
Most churches are zogged
Are you seriously this nigger-brained?
Babadookk ago
you cant say jews did 9 -11 the place is totally compromised
qunther ago
you can say it, but you have to have the receipts
grace8 ago
What does that mean?
What about our back up sub on Poal.
SaxonWolfcock ago
Zogged.
Fat_is_healthy ago
Yep. The new world begins december 25th.
ObamasPinkSock ago
January 6 is likely when the shit will go down, either way.
President Trump has called us to Washington DC on Jan 6 - which is the day the Electoral Votes are officially recognized by Congress.
This time next month, we'll likely be fighting in a civil war.
drhitler ago
yeah guess a lot more people will have some free time for the 6th with voat down.
ObamasPinkSock ago
I suspect a new version of Voat will be created because patriots need a place to discuss their righteous hatred of kikes and niggers.
drhitler ago
i actually mentioned that in putts thread, its dying on xmas and the new site is our gift, also why we got those secret passwords.
Silverlining ago
I have the feeling it already has -shit gone down.
Fat_is_healthy ago
Yeah, I've heard it enough throughout the years. I'll believe it when I see it.
Gorillion ago
Voat has been on the edge of shutting down for years, and now it is...
NorthSeaPagan ago
At actually begins today, today is the start of the age of Aquarius.
Skeptic5000 ago
There is no consensus on the specific date for the age of aquarius.
Silverlining ago
Where did you get that?
Phantom42 ago
And that means?
Gorillion ago
We all have to start singing super gay hippy musical numbers.
mfquesodindunuffin ago
Today's the day niggers get their superpowers and enslave all white people.
Gorillion ago
Or they get endowed with the greatest super-power of all: Self-Awareness.
NorthSeaPagan ago
Nothing really, it's just funny that Voat's closure get's announced today.
