Could it be that the severs cannot handle all the traffic from people downloading the entire site?
Totally what it is, complete Streisand Effect. "Oh shit anti-nigger website is getting shut down!!! Let's go see what they posted that we disagree with!"
i don't think it's other people, i think it's old goats trying to save what they were a part of for so long.
could be. Fact of the matter is the site couldn't stay up under normal load as it was. Now the word is out and there is most likely a lot more traffic from more sources.
Could be. I'm not going to let it bother me at this point. My only concern is that we want to have a final FNGT tomorrow night and I hope it will be usable enough. It was the longest running, most consistent thread on Voat and we'd like to go out in style. Ah well, make lemonade I guess.
Thanks for re-posting that. We've been really busy these last few days notifying as many of our submitters and friends and many are interested. We'll be here for the foreseeable future so come enjoy it with us, 8pm et in s/guitar every Friday.
Likely. I know I played my part in that.
so do you have a copy of voat on your pc now?
No, not even close. I don't think my machine could handle it. However, it sounds like SearchVoat is going to have an archive of the entire site available.
