I love this shithole. My tech skills are fairly meager but I would absolutely contribute monetarily and otherwise to Voat's survival or whatever can be built from it's ashes.
If you have any ideas/suggestions to BuiLd BAcK BetTEr post them. Example: I've heard of some anonymous/distributed hosting tech that could let a place like this survive, but I have no idea if they're really functional.

I have the skills to keep a site like this running, so if @putitout wants to hand it over instead of shutting it down i'm in. I'm not going to rebuild it from the ground up however. The value of voat is it's reasonably large and active userbase.

we need updated source code and a scrubbed DB dump.

optimally we'd keep the domain too.

Code is C# afaik with PG db. Idk what server he's using though.

That explains why it runs like shit. I wouldn't have any problem maintaining it though.

I would make some effort to contribute as well. Been writing software for decades.
