I think putt needs to start doing a webcast to make sure it's him still running this thing.. also I can't get on my old account after changing phones.. it will not accept any password I know I used at least one that was correct and no one will respond and when I try to get a reset password it says my email is invalid.. it is not invalid I've had the same email since 1994 or 96 approximatly.

Perhaps it's time for Voat to become a democratic educational charitable foundation dedicated to freedom of speech. Use the word democrat if you want to have the left pay the bills for this place - raise even more money by decrying the obvious efforts of the evil right wing cronies to take over. Defense funds are desperately needed. For only the cost of a cup of coffee per day, you can help stop the spread of Alt Right tyranny... before it destroys the environment.

Then open a goat sanctuary with yoga - they love that stuff. Upload some videos. That should about do it.

Nice thing about running a tax exempt foundation is you get to set your own salary. They do it all of the time.

You could even directly quote the shareblue shills in your advertising - nice to have David working for us for a change.

For all we know, the site's being run by the CIA and everyone who posts or vists is going on a list.

bingo. ive been starting to suspect this even just hearing about this inancing issue just now. the content is very.......pushy. very inflammatory if youre of a certain mindset. a lot of disinformation, a lot of obvious shills. just getting a bad feeling. maybe I'm paranoid. we know voat scared some very powerful pedophiles......and the good information just seems to have stopped. I'm only hanging around in the hopes of seeing something, anything vital. but I've been getting a bad feeling for months now.

and the good information just seems to have stopped.

The site is based on user contributions. If you see good stuff on another site, post it.

This has been true for months now. We all know a site can't run on air. Exactly how much we donated in total was never disclosed to us. :/ despite our repeated and reasonable requests for a donation tally bar.

In all honesty I expect the site to just randomly not be here one day. When that day happens, you will find me trolling /pol/ and full chan.

The Voat native ads are being blocked by Adblock Plus. There is no reason why your active ads should be blocked. This is something that should be an easy fix.

Neither does your mom.

(Sorry, I had to. OCD.)

Voat stopped accepting credit card donations last July. It stopped accepting bitcoin donations sometime late last year.

Why would the latter happen?

Seems to me like putt’s very slowly trying to put us on auto pilot and leave the captain’s chair for good. Not that he’s extremely active to begin with, but I don’t really understand.

hes getting tired of patching up the holes in his wall when the spooks koolaid man his house in the middle of the night

And then how does the site pay it's bills?

CC and BTC donations have been closed, and ads have been shown down for a long time. The ads you see are on a loop.

I’m not arguing. I’ve been telling them to put banner ads up for two years.

He is a drive by admin. It kind of works but for the last 6 months, he’s been all but absent. The voat votes thing was dead on arrival, it had no chance with him disappearing again before even properly explaining it.

pretty sure James Woods is paying to keep the lights on.
