We're back.      (whatever)

Hey guys. We're back.

Chat has been disabled again as someone found a way to abuse it and crash the server. For the time being, registration has been blocked on VPNs which are being used to attack the site. This is a temporary solution. With each attack we get stronger and they have to spend more of their time coming up with another way to succeed. It's clear this person has a legit hatred for what voat stands for. Which only encourages me to keep going. It wouldnt be voat without downtime, but I want to be clear, unlike voat.co this site is not going anywhere. As long as I am alive I will work on keeping this site up and going.

After looking around a bit, it looks like this person leaked one of their legit IPs. Now here's a question to all you people paranoid about your IPs, what do I do with it now?

Edit: Registration is back open

The Roots of The Matrix - The Hard Problem - The Science Behind the Fiction     (www.youtube.com)

submitted by system to Documentaries 4.3 years ago

6 comments

This is an obscure documentary that was released in 04, came with The Matrix dvd box set.

It's an interesting watch. I'd say some of these people are definitely transhumanists on the 'inside'. Some of the things they say is curious.

Chat is the only thing that was fucked with before the outage. Don't have time to implement fixes so it's temporarily disabled till I can work on it.

We're back online     (whatever)

Well that was weird. One moment everything was fine, the next the server is down and I can't start it. It was a bigger issue than just being "down", but I won't go into detail just to be safe. No evidence it was an attack. So it was either a fluke or something else. Anyway, we are back.

Cynabuns is now a global mod     (announcements)

submitted by system to announcements 4.3 years ago

25 comments

I know you guys dislike the idea of mods, but I am the complete opposite of AOU, micromanaging is not my thing. I like Puttitouts approach to running a site, stay the hell out of affairs and just keep the place running. Not having to constantly check just to make sure things are running correctly would be nice.

I dont think anyone will have a problem with Cynabuns. They have proven themselves a good and reasonable moderator imo.
I am going to consider 1 or 2 others that have reached out to me. Post deletion logs will be implemented in the next day or so.

Looking for a global mod     (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 4.3 years ago

Hey guys. I need someone who I can count on to monitor the site. Your main job would be alerting me if/when the site is down or under attack. Removing spam and illegal content would also be part of the job (I don't believe I've removed any posts yet, so this is rarely used).

I already asked Cynabuns and he accepted, but I have not seen him around the site. So it's possible you'd be a team with him, or maybe someone else.

Send me a PM with your original voat name and when you visit the site in general (In morning, at work, evening, Regularly throughout day/night, etc.)

This is mainly to give me peace of mind and to not get anxious if I haven't checked the site in a few hours.

Had to restore from backup     (announcements)

submitted by system to announcements 4.3 years ago

36 comments

Got hit again last night by that faggot on searchvoat forum. Registered hundreds of accounts and ruined vote counts. I was able to restore most stuff but some things might be missing. Some restored posts might display inaccurate times. Will add the ability to see time stamp soon. Registration will be opened/closed depending on my ability to monitor it.

Everything deletes at 6 am, no logs kept.

I also added a full window chat. You get there by clicking the chat button, or clicking the 'global chat' label to open it in a new window.

It's been one week since the site launched     (announcements)

submitted by system to announcements 4.3 years ago

Hey guys.

We've officially been online for over a week. I just want to thank you all for checking out the site. I had no idea what would happen after launch. Things were rough for the first few days, a couple critical issues, but I got them ironed out and things have been pretty smooth for the most part. I know there is a lot of other issues to address, particularly in ux/ui department. I hope to get to them all in the next month or two.

I think this new site has a bright future. One of the major advantages imo is the fact it was written in php. People talk shit about it, but it's easier to deploy, brings hosting costs down, makes it easier to find a host (if need be). It just made sense for this project, and I think it will be a lot more resilient than voat was. But time will tell.


Now for some stats

Since launch 1 week ago

Thanks for giving the site a chance. I hope we can keep this community together and rebuild what was lost. Best people on the internet imo.

Holy shit! One of my favorite websites Turntable.fm has made a return.      (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 4.3 years ago

Any other ex-turntable users out there? Turntable.fm was a group music listening website that shutdown in 2013. I found some of the most unique tracks in my collection from this website. Can't believe it's back. Password to get in is speakeasy.

Click account options in your profile. It's currently the only option. This removes all topics and comments posted, as well as the account (obviously). This irreversible.
