It's well known Voat has connection issues frequently for months now. Usually it's the 'play pen' and lasts for just a few minutes. This particular instance was a full denial to connect to the site at all and lasted several hours. That's what aroused my interest. It could have been just a coincidence but the very fact all of the recent issues with Voat and a very possible, sustained ddos attack makes those suspicions possible.
There's lots of possibilities and only Putt knows what's going on.
