You guys know the Voat drill when Reddit bans something:
Single file lines!
Voat is too broke to get real servers so we must take turns. We must act civilized and share in an orderly fashion or else it just ends up looking like a Black Friday nightmare around here and no one wants that.
So pick your time slot and stick to it, no cheating. Everyone has a 30 second window to Voat. Go.
Sorry about the downtime and slow responses, it's the best we have in Free Speechland at the moment.
Edit:
I hate receiving donations for a few reasons but here is Voat's BTC address if you feel called to donate: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k. Please only donate if you have the means.

Old question but by any chance we can support you in some way? Appreciate taking money for running an 'edgy' site has its own complications.
Skeeterdo ago
My understanding is the funding for the site was removed?? By credit companies or something?? Someone else can offer more insight.
Pretty sure there's a bitcoin donation but I don't remember how to access it.

Yea I don't know if that wallet is still active, but all the payment processing companies (think PayPal) have rejected voat.
Last I heard there was an "angel donor" who put a ton of money into voat. But that was at least a year and a couple months ago.. Right after we almost went bankrupt.

Need to get to work on a way to fix this folks (perhaps by GA folks funding forum, we wouldn't become the ones to get thrown out as fast)!

Angel donor you mean the CIA. This place is def a honey pot.

rather than paypal themselves they probably received such demands from visa and mastercard and other financial partners
Phantom42 ago
Hmm... Big reach, but perhaps it was the Q team/Friendlies? Like they figured this would happen?
HST ago
The conspiracy that is generally accepted is that it's actually a CIA honeypot. It's just so sweet..
TheTrigger ago
From what I remember, it was something stupid like tens of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins. Someone linked the wallet's history before, but I can't get to those bookmarks, atm. At the time, I think it was worth over $100,000. Not sure how much it would be now, or how much is even left.

This is going way back but didn't paypal seize nearly 30k from Atko?
SexMachine ago
It was for the stupidest reason too, because Voat hosts porn.... Reddit does too, so wtf?
Skeeterdo ago
I thought some cunts uploaded CP and informed paypal of it immediately after they uploaded it.
Dirty trick.

I feel like Voat needs to get itself some serious legal protection against that. They surely can't be responsible for something like that, right?
It's not like if someone started a new subreddit and immediately posted cp and reported reddit, reddit would actually suffer for it.
MrPim ago
Correct. It was at the same time that they also did that with the original hosting provider
HST ago
Sounds right. No matter how much it was it was fucked.
Skeeterdo ago
It's been a wild fucking ride on this website, I have a feeling it's going to get crazier.

Q says 297,000 worth of crazy.
Reddit says only 70,000
Sum-of-Nun ago
We do need some fall back plans, just in case.
Vvswiftvv17 ago
Poal is the fallback. Although a few faggots on here try to talk shit about it. If this goes down everyone will be flocking.
Rubieroo ago
And then the last place Q says will be left standing once Twitter and Facebook (and likely Youtube) have forced removal of Q information and followers - https://8ch.net/patriotsfight/catalog.html

Correct. Then Q will run the biggest volunteer crowd sourced open source investigation army on the planet

Its kind of beautiful when you put it like that

It is, isn't it? I have an awesome picture of Q rolling his eyes at our arguments, and wielding a giant Q-shaped banhammer
