Yup! Like I said, different day, same shit. Funny being RT - LOL - I thought Trump was in the ruskies pocket - LOL.

The bigger ya get, the more you become a spam target, I'm afraid. I got a spam in a link comment the other day for the first time and reported it to v/protectvoat who turned me onto to v/reportspammers ... sad. But having cruised the internet since slow dial-up days myself, I know it's just part of the territory. Trolls, bots, and spammers, no one wins, there are no solutions, ya just smile and move on, I guess.

I see today in v/all we have a spammer Clinton shill pushing Trump pedophile nonsense ... they must be worried - LOL - different day, same shit.

Owlchemy ago

Nope, but I like Voat as it is ... so it's matured (at least somewhat), I guess. It is always interesting to see the history of the place though, as it passes by in v/all.

I relive it everyday... PTSD. Cupcakes set me off now.

Cupcakes for everyone!

Thanks for the history lesson, NeedleS!!!! Us newer folk ... at least, I for one ... always appreciate learning more about the short, but interesting timeline of the Voat community. Sometimes things are said or done, which out of context, make no sense ... happy Cupcake Day to all!!!!!

Has it been a year already?

weezkitty ago

That's what I thought too. I remember this. Hard to believe it has been a year

Lemongarb ago

I just realized it's my first anniversary, too.

NeedleStack ago

Ohh, what a nice coincidence! You should have a voat birthday badge show up on your account today. It will look like this. That is, if the admins haven't killed the bot. In the meantime, Happy first Voat Birthday!

I remember, those were interesting times. We need another big influx to mix things up around here. We should go and hijack a subreddit and get it banned.

"Cake day" doesn't happen here in ANY form. Knock that faggot shit off.

NeedleStack ago

It has nothing to do with reddit's cake day so calm your tits. Read the history and you'll see it's a separate thing. In the meantime, Happy Voat Cupcake Day!

I will not.

I will not.

In the meantime, Happy Voat Cupcake Day!

I hope you fucking choke.

NeedleStack ago

Thank you! Likewise!

NeedleStack ago

I forgot about that, thanks!

strange_69 ago

Happy cupcake day!

NeedleStack ago

And to you, cupcake!

crazyjuan ago

Thanks for reminding me of this. I remember wondering what on earth was going on with all the cupcake news posts. Felt very bizarre at the time, but had a good ending!

Lag-wagon ago

It was crazy to see it all go down. I was cracking up!

NeedleStack ago

Thank you!

NeedleStack ago

Ew. Happy Cupcake Day!

NeedleStack ago

I'll take it! :)

NeedleStack ago

I sat here for probably close to an hour researching and setting up all the links and putting the narrative together. I don't know if that makes me a voat historian or total weirdo. :-D

GoofyGrape ago

I don't know if that makes me a voat historian or total weirdo. :-D

Why not both? ;-D

NeedleStack ago

Oh without question. ;)

Happy Cupcake Day!!!

Let's celebrate!

And to you and yours, cupcake! ;)

On September 10, 2015 our @Lag-wagon got into a debate with former /v/News mod /u/exisredditus.

Lag-wagon eventually called him a cupcake so exisredditus banned him under the excuse that he violated News's name-calling rule.

Lag-wagon let voat know what happened and the site went ballistic and posted cupcake-related stories on News.

exisredditus got into more arguments with users, got called cupcake again, and banned users he was arguing with.

@Atko even joined the conversation with the quote, "Yeah... I don't like this. At all."

exisredditus resigned from News then deleted his account. The other News mods reinstated the banned users.

In one of the threads a user proposed September 10 should be Voat Cupcake Day so I immediately embroidered this cupcake for the occasion. So...

Happy Voat Cupcake Day!

PS - I still have @Lag-wagon tagged as "Cupcake" and your comment with his name in there made me lol all over again; good times!

Lag-wagon ago

I don't have you tagged... But I remember your name. Thanks for being you.

Cynabuns ago

thanks, Cupcake :D

Lag-wagon ago

No problem honeybun

Cynabuns ago

If you haven't already, please please post this to v/MuseumofVoat lol !

NeedleStack ago

I thought of doing that but didn't want to be presumptuous. But I guess there's no harm in it. I'll do so. Thanks!

These magical fucking hilarious moments must be preserved ;-)
