Nope Poal will never shutdown as long as I am breathing.
Comical. You would have seen the same type of responses were someone to talk about Voat shutting down, back in November or earlier.
Um I was on voat for 5 years. When it was whoaverse I only started this place during the 3 week outage because someone had to do something. Apparently I called it early but I called it.
Fine. I was there as well, with the Alpha badge on my account (not on this user account). But to pretend this site can't / won't go away is dishonest. Hosting is vulnerable, which you have no real control over. Payment processing for donations or funding is vulnerable, which again, you have no control over. Even getting enough people to pay to keep this place running is vulnerable, since that cannot be guaranteed. Relying or the charity of others gets you fucked. Poal is no different than Voat in these ways.
