It seems all is Ok now.
AOU said there was an internet break down in Europe.
We're lucky POAL isn't under direct attack like VOAT experienced so often 2018-2021. DDoS, flood it with raunchy porn, every nasty thing they could do to disable VOAT. I've never seen anything like it before or since.
It actually is, but I use some custom protections. Our host also has an anti-DDoS later running.
Anyone with a little experience could take voat down. It was so poorly coded, they supposedly needed thousands of dollars per month to pay for a decent hosting that could handle the resources hungry code.
Hot Wheels wasn't so hot? I'm not at all surprised.
POAL is a close facsimile to VOAT. Who rewrote the code?
