Cool beans, thanks for the info. I'm curious, why isn't it hosted on the same system as the forum?
I really enjoy the irc style chat by the way. A lot of people complain it doesn't have many users but personally to me that's the point. Irc chat isn't meant to aggregate the thoughts of thousands of users, it's meant for real time conversation.
It is and it isn’t, it’s a complicated setup it integrates with the chat server which I keep on a different system because i never wanted that to take resources from the main poal server. Which has payed off a few times.
It’ll be a little busier when we bring it back but I don’t think it’ll be unmanageable. Also Pauline will be there she is our chatbot. She also learns its pretty neat.
Puhlease, all these new Voat users can testify that Voat was down all the damned time....
Well chat is back now, you just have to enable it in settings our matrix instance is live again as well and you’ll hear more about that as an announcement today.
I hear the Amazon has some kick ass servers.
Fuck Amazon web services for many many reasons.
