Attention THE REASON VOAT IS DOWN

Putt, the Owner of Voat, put this up on the front page:

Voat is being attacked and our poor little goats are exhausted. You can take down a site with your botnet and unlimited money, but you won't win in your fight against truth. You know you've already lost. For everyone that isn't familiar with Voat, Voat is a Free Speech website, and a lot of powerful people don't like some of the things the Goats discuss.

This seems to have made someone mad:

Earlier, he said that above link was causing a DDoS attack.
I posted it here.

I don't think that post is the cause. They would be giving credence to the post. Perhaps it is the OP of that post.

If you wanted to take voat down without promoting discussion of a single post you would [REDACTED] because you would cause a lot more load on the server per request, and you wouldn't end up validating the subject you are trying to silence.
