Been using it for about a week now. It's a nice change from the default. It kinda has this mature yet hip feel to it.

Hey guys.

I received an email from my hosting provider telling me they were terminating my account for "offering illegal services or services that violate our terms of service". They will stop service some time tomorrow on Sunday 4/3/21. Don't panic! Honestly I expected this. Their tos is strict, but I went with it mainly for developing the site, expecting to replace it within the first few days of launch. But the service was good and I had no issues so I kept with it. Till now.

Luckily I found a new host with a better TOS. This new server will be a nice upgrade too. I will work on switching over everything tonight. Expect at least a couple hours of down time, but it could be less/more.

So if you have given out 400 upvotes, you can give out 800 downvotes before it disables. 20 upvotes given? You can downvote a total of 40 times. If you want to reenable downvoting simply give out more upvotes.

This is to prevent serial downvoters. The 2:1 ratio is more than reasonable and would only prevent the most excessive downvoters. Under these rules currently only 2 accounts are effected with a 3rd soon to follow.

I know there will be people who complain about this, people who aren't even effected by it. Feel free to voice your opinion in this thread. But seeing the /all/new downvoted by one person, with no repercussion or incentive to give out some upvotes will forever be a problem without some kind of limit. I still have not implemented a ccp requirement for downvotes, that could change depending on abuse.

By a lot.

Hey guys

We've made it to day 30. I am very proud with how things have turned out so far. This community has been great. Lots of great posters from old voat have come over and this place is starting to feel a bit like our old home. I appreciate all of you who contribute and keep this place alive.

Traffic is really starting to pick up. We are consistently getting over 2k+ unique viewers a day, and approaching 1 million requests per day. But I am starting to notice some slow down again, so next week I plan to work on optimizing everything, and changing how comments load to be similar to other similar sites. This should reduce the load on the server and speed things up. In the meantime here are some stats:

In 30 days

858 accounts have been registered

3397 topics have been posted

16089 comments have been posted

43242 votes have been cast

233 subverses created

Looking forward to the next 11 months and hitting that 1 year mark. That will be the next time I update these stats. See you then :D

This is an option now. You can view posts from subs you've subscribed to by visiting /v/front. You can access it in the top navigation bar on the left. I am keeping /v/all as the default view when vising the site, but I've made it an option to have /v/front be the main view if you prefer. No default subs, so /front defaults to /all until you subscribe to something.

Here's to the next 40 days.

Today it dawned on me. This site needs more diversity. Click the link to make this site better, smarter, faster and stronger with more diversity. Thank you for doing your part.

Looking into it

This was frequently asked for, it's a nice change.
