Not really - but I did register a few. I plan on starting my infiltration and shilling early!

So, it still says "thumbnail" instead of showing them and the CAPTCHA is a testing version.

Nice to see you, Buddah. If Voat goes any further south consider staying here a while!

It's pretty buggy at the moment, but this is just the start. It's like early Voat all over again.

Yeah, I figure I'll poke around a bit. I should install a copy of the code and see if I can learn about it. I've already got VPS services provisioned and can spin up another one pretty easily. No, it's not for a specific project. I just like mashing buttons.

You didn't tell me you were a sysadmin! Bastard I could have gotten this place up literal days earlier! (Its all good just yet another thing that you know. You must have had quite and interesting career. Beyond the traffic stuff.)

I wouldn't call my a systems administrator - BUT...

I had to do a great deal of the IT work to get things started, long before I was able to afford actual employees.

I've kept up with it as a hobby. I have several VPSes spun up right now, a dedicated server that's in someone else's data center, and a server that I maintain for a business I have financial interest in.

I'm KGIII on sites like Slashdot and HN.

I can do the job well enough to maintain my own local network. I have my own server software that I use to manage a gateway for people who visit and to do my own tasks. Things like that. I have my own NAS that I rolled myself, things of that nature.

So, I'm not a sysadmin but I've done quite a bit of the work. I play around with some security as well. I can program, but I'd not want to run my code in a professional environment and I'm horribly out of practice. I do a bit of PHP and that's just scripting. I'm still fairly fluent in Perl. Bash, and I kind of picked up a bit of Python along the way. I've even coded in BASIC and COBOL!

I'm old! I've done lots of stuff!
