We've been through some "fun times" over the years Voat, and every minute of it was a challenge but I'm excited to announce that Voat was finally .

I've been in ongoing discussions for months now regarding bringing in a partner. I'm happy to confirm that we have finalized and moved forward with an agreement that will give Voat the future it always deserved. I'm so happy right now. I'm happy we didn't give up when things got tough. We truly earned our Goat badges (and the scars are pretty cool too).

At this time, given the world we live in, it's best to keep some of the details of this deal guarded, at least until Voat gets acclimated to the partnership and the newness fades.

What is important to say is this: Voat will remain a company dedicated to Freedom of Speech (and Privacy - more later) I will remain CEO, will work solely on Voat in a full time capacity, and continue to make all decisions regarding policy moving forward This deal was realistic and fair (no one is buying a yacht and retiring) Voat will be given a reasonable budget to hire one or two employees (I will continue writing code myself as well) Voat will be given partial assistance in operating costs, requiring us to fulfill the rest. I feel that I negotiated successfully on behalf of Voat and every Goat here. You were always in my thoughts as my primary objective was to make sure Voat was protected and our ideals maintained. Although they'd be too polite to admit it, I had to be a (t)horn in their side at times.

In summary, Voat was given the essentials to run as a real business instead of a part time project. We still have to run a tight ship, control costs, generate income (hello merch!), and grow as we weren’t handed a blank check. Most importantly this deal ensures that Voat remains dedicated to the principals it was founded upon.

Is this technically a Christmas miracle Voat? (You better say Yes) I love you Voat. Always have. Always will.

Merry Christmas Goats!

The similarities in the two announcements are striking

I'm assuming it's an April Fools joke given the timing, phrasing, and shoestring budget Poal runs on. What would AOU even invest the money in, a Poalr bear ranch?

Poal brand ranch dressing made without goybean oil.

Every time Easter falls on April 1st, Jesus comes back and becomes a homeless guy fighting people outside of a Burger King and drinking Thunderbird.

Then he asks a man for water and the passerby agrees to help him. He hands Jesus the bottle of water and Jesus turns it into wine.

After a few drinks he reveals himself and the man who helped him laughed thinking it was a joke.

Then Jesus did a 1080 spinorama and yelled "SHAZZZZAAAAMMMMMM" while he disappeared into smoke.

April Fools Easter is when Jesus pranks people who are then diagnosed with schizophrenia.
