We have a goat! (announcements)

submitted ago by Atko

User /u/genial has kindly donated their version of the voat goat. Here it is in all its glory. We may use this on voat t-shirts in an effort to raise some cash in order to compensate for increased server costs (several people asked us how they could donate and why we don't have a donate button) to help keep us afloat. @puttitout is looking into finding a partner in the US for us to work with which would handle voat merchandise sales and distribution. The t-shirt should be very comfortable and of high-quality so it may take a while to find the right partner. Anyways, I hope you all get a good weekend.

Do the shirts come in size 666 by chance?

wulf-focker ago

Love it much more than that stupid reddit alien.

Re:T-shirts - @puttitout - you HAVE spoken to @doesitmakesound from /v/shirtwascash I assume? Not that I want to tell you how to do your job but it seemed like a logical thing to suggest? (I haven't purchase a t-shirt from there mind you....)

Oh - double thought - I am wearing the most comfortable t-shirt ever right now which made me think of it - the guys at Mashery.com were handing them out at a hackfest. They are made by http://www.americanapparel.net/wholesaleresources/ - pretty damn fine shirts - I sleep in mine. Keeps it shape, it's print, colour. (I'm picky about t-shirts.)

I dig it!

But think of the nostalgia!

Awesome! Very cute goat!

I drew some voat goats as well and would love to assist with custom illustrations if you guys are interested :)

Ouch. Sorry to hear that and I hope your recovery thing will work out. I too have been doing some Java IoT stuff with MQTT all day today for this school project I'm working on... I am aware of the context button problem in combination with infinite scroll and I don't really have a solution for it yet (conceptually). Writing code is easy when you can think of a solution :) Have fun with minecraft and I hope to see you again soon :)

Atko ago

Hi Daniel, I haven't seen you since the whole voat hype thing started!

Chain_Reaction ago

Just few questions related to subverses:

Can subverse replace the VOAT alpha logo on the top corner with the goat? Also, can they modify the goat in any way?

You can make a goat out of voat: https://i.imgur.com/g8FHtlD.png

Omg he's so damn cute. And material design, too.

Slug ago

Looks wonderful! It fits the design of the site perfectly, and I really like the use of the voats for it's horns and nose.

absurdlyobfuscated ago

Aside from being completely awesome and everything, the voat goat is really good artwork. Perfectly fits the current logo, masterfully done!

huygenz ago

Oh, that symbolism...Conspiracists will see Illuminati and blackmagic everywhere. :P

imhereforfruits ago

It's cute, but I wish its head weren't quite so big :(

goatboy ago

We must have a donate boat to keep the voat goat afloat!

Also, if you could go ahead and integrate a crypto-currency wallet into the site, that'd be great.

Atko ago

I received an email from a developer who would like to help us integrate bitcoin into voat. I still did not get a chance to reply to his email but I'm pretty sure we will implement some sort of crypto currency at some point. Keep an eye on /v/announcements :)

(@Atko - Aris and co. at empeopled.com would love to join forces with you along those lines btw - been meaning to chase you up on that... cruise by, send him an email or something.)

Norge ago

That's perfect!

Sticky ago

what does 'tm' on his leg stands for? trademark?

zen_of_the_pression ago

Stop by my subs and pet muh goats!

LizardBreathe ago

Super cute. Three cheers to the year of the goat!

tux ago

The goat looks great!

In terms of finding a shirt partner, encourage them to use american apparel 50/50 Tee's as the base shirt. They are magically comfortable, tapered nicely, but sightly more expensive than a tee from other brands. IMO the extra money is very worth it :)

imhereforfruits ago

most people don't like to wear american apparel shirts though, maybe make the option but you're risking making a lot of normal dudes look like homos
