Putt will answer our questions soon. Atko lurks Voat, and given that he was likely not on vacation at the same time Putt (seems to have been), he noticed Voat was down while lurking and so emerged from the shadows to first reassure people, and then ultimately address the issue with whatever admin access he still has. Might have been as simple as a server restart, who knows?
There is absolutely no denying that things that Putt does do but it's time for him to appoint/assign a backup admin and dev. If he goes on vacation, gets hit by a buy, gets arkancided, or continues to do less for the less than he has been doing, the backup can step in. We can't count on Atko again. There's absolutely no excuse, volunteer position or not, for that kind of consolidation because it leads to spectacular failures like the outage we just experienced. Supposing he'd been run over by a car? We'd be fucked and Atko would have had to step in to appoint someone new. And no matter how you spin it, there is absolutely no excuse for what happened. None. It can only be explained as a lack of leadership.
Putt should stay as a dev, it's where he excels. His admin decisions and follow-through haven't even been in the same galaxy as "stellar."
So original in your response. A free website that runs on nothing but the good will of a few volunteers is absolutely allowed to have a site outage twatface. The fact that it hasn't happened more often is a testament to how competent these two are. If you are so disgruntled go develop your own fucking site, market it, build up a user base, fight off regulators twice, manage the everyday technical aspects of keeping it running...aaaannnd then bitch. Until then sit down and shut the fuck up ungrateful faggot.
I'm assuming you logged into your other faggoty accounts to up voat yourself because there is no way in hell this many layers deep you would get 4 upvotes.

So hold off on the poems for now.

Dude, fuck off. Those guys do not get paid to do ANY of this. You sound entitled to demand something of someone who does this out of his free time.

Right, a site outage because he didn't do his job is completely acceptable. How about you go fuck yourself and go back to facebook and reddit.

How typically reddit style.
I can say whatever the fuck I want and you can suck a chocolately anus and like it.
I've done more for this site than you ever have.
Shitty service is still shitty service.
If you're not happy with the users, fucking leave. We won't miss you.

It might be because he decided to whine like bitch about it in another sub and linked it. Just a thought. And a fact
