I remember at some point there was a problem of license fees, because putt or atko had built the site using proprietary solutions which remained free for the first year or so and then they had to pay a license fee

Does any one remember that story?

I think that was when it was running on azure with a student thing.

I couldn't believe it when they revealed the original site was running on IIS and .net. Could have saved themselves a lot of headaches if they'd gone for a more OS agnostic platform, but hey, that's all done and dusted.

This is one of the reasons I think they always had in mind to start voat and then sell it out to somebody bigger.

I personally like poal's quantum modem that is powered by our Amish horses but someone should probably feed them soon.

I was gonna say what kind of idiot runs anything on azure... but a student using a student thing actually makes some sense.

Dumb students, learning things the hard way. Hehehe, I said hard way. Hehehehe.
