@PuttItOut hasn't given us an update, we've received no kind of answer as to what happened, and honestly that bothers me. He's said he'll post one when he can elsewhere someplace else.
We haven't heard from the admin since the outage, and that's not okay. I get it, we're a hard bunch to handle, we ping him constantly, but as the head of Voat, he needs to communicate with us. This place is very quickly becoming one of the last bastions of free speech here on the internet, and with Putt not talking, I feel as though that may not quite be the case anymore.
I'm also wrong here, as he's been active as recently as five days ago.
I'm not trying to fear monger or whatever, but do keep a level head about this. This absence is out of character for him. Outages are usually handled quickly by the admin, and then we get some kind of thing letting us know what happened.
I guess I let some kind of hysteria get to me. He wasn't absent, I just didn't check first.
I'm not about to migrate over to poal, but we should probably keep our minds open, just in case.
Fuck poal
And Putt, if you're seeing this, I wanted to thank you for helping put this place together, and for keeping it that way for as long as you have. I hope you're okay.
This is about the only part of this that isn't fucking embarrassing.
Godspeed, goats.
EDIT: So, all of this was wrong, Putt's been active, we just haven't seen an update. That's what I get for making this kind of post so far past my bedtime. As always, OP is a huge fucking faggot, so please disregard everything I've said here.
Edit 2: Shoutout to the faggot downvoating the whole thread. Guess somebody’s pissed, eh?

Damn, another bullshit drama...

Nah, someone's trying to astroturf a grassroots "user" movement against Voat.
Far more interesting than just "drama".

You implying I'm Venturer? I mean, cool for thinking I'm a shill and all, since we all are in some way or another. If you check my post history, you'll find that I'm not much more than a filthy degenerate who's a little worried about this little slice of heaven.
Wait, shit, I just realized. Fuck Crensch, glad to see that it's you. Might want to keep in mind that you've been a user for 2.8 years too, so it's easy to fall to a correlation fallacy.

Didn't see the edit. Figured I could explain a bit more.
Your account age was just one of a few different datapoints that were relevant. The previous post being 1.7 hours ago, the topic being posted every day multiple times, the relatively low contribution points, and both of you actually pinging Putt, when most users know he gets pinged so often he probably doesn't even look at them anymore.
I've been right with less, but I based on your responses, I think I was wrong on this one.
