I am sure many of you have seen this thread suggesting that voat may have no more than a month left to live. Of course this isn't the first time that we have had reason to be concerned about the longevity of this website.
We need some sort of backup form or message board. It wouldn't have to be a perfect voat replacement, it could even be a on a compromised service like reddit or discord. The idea being that if voat were to vanish suddenly, this community would have a place remain in contact with one another, and when a suitable replacement was found, the word could be spread through this backup site. With out a back up such as this, the sudden death of voat would cause this community to disperse and it may never find a common home again.
One possible idea for a site that could even be a full fledged new home is Aether as suggested by @RiverWind here. I don't know anything about that service myself, but it's the only suggestion I have seen so far a backup home.
What say you Goats?

My guess is we would invade Poal, for shits and giggles.
Apart from that?
They killed Voat.
Boogaloo time.
Nut up or shut up.
edit - come at me, feds. VPN for the win!

This poal?

I had not seen that site before myself. What's its history?

The owner is a complete faggot.
Go create an account. Most of the Goats have accounts there already.

Can you tell me more about the site though? How old is it, and what other internet community or communities did it come from?

We tried to rejoin the two sites but got into a terrible fight over whether to call the new board Vole or Pout. It was awful, especially when the midget in the gimp suit stole the company swancar, and ran over @heygeorge's big toe.
