Voat.co is down

12  2018-04-19 by wile_e_chicken

4ch says it's been down all day.

https://voat.co

Service Unavailable

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

Any ideas? I could speculate, but it's only speculation..

Fear-monger: Is Reddit next?

204 comments

Down for me too.

Didn't pay for servers

Power outage

Updates didn't go as expected

Somebody cut and ran

Speculation or you know something?

Those are obviously guess. They are listed as such.

Yeah, just guesses about some of the top reasons a website would go down.

so the pug got pulled, Id like to see what the pazzagate page looked like right before this happened. Wouldnt surprise me if this was damage control

Yeah. I'm wondering if more of frazzled.rip got posted.

frazzled.rip got posted.

that's the one. There was a thread I was watching yesterday where one of the posters said he had the frazzledrip vid and was working on posting new stills

I missed that, but that would do it.

Well this is interesting but seems too fantastical to be true. Then again the have a dedicated sub on the task

I've seen that piece of disinfo already, thanks.

Did you actually look into the connections it made? Or just dismiss it because it doesn't support your viewpoint?

this was posted there yesterday.

I doubt anyone would waste their time trying to take down the pizzagate voat...

Didnt they ban it everywhere else tho?

Who's "they?" Reddit banned it because they were doxxing and brigading. For all their vitriol they accomplished nothing. Why would anyone bother to take down the voat unless it was for similar reasons?

Correct me if I am wrong but didnt the pizzagate community lead to an actual pedo ring bust?

Do you have a source for that claim? The only pizzagate related arrest I can remember is a guy shooting up a pizza place

weird.. it usually gets DDOS during high conspiracy times like pizzagate (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2166595) guess this is the chemgate DDOS!?

The projected image at Comet Ping of the two women on a table at Comet Ping Pong. So meta.

Or somebody posted FRAZZLEDRIP or something similar.

Whats FRAZZLEDRIP? Out of the loop.

An alleged video from the dark web that allegedly shows Hillary & Huma performing occult/paedo ritual killing.

It is rumored to be a graphic video of Hillary and Huma raping, skinning, and eating a prepubescent girl alive.

Don't search for this. If it exists and it is what it is rumored to be, having a copy of it will land you in prison.

If it exists, shouldn't it land the murderers on death row?

The only it doesn't is if the video is fake.

But I am too scared to search for it.

Yes, in theory it would. In reality, the ruling class have an entirely different set of laws.

LOL just like cnn saying it’s illegal to have Wikileaks files.

No I mean that it would be CP. If you have it for any reason, you're breaking the law.

It possible someone put together a fake video that is obviously fake, with the intent to discredit a real video that has not been seen yet.

More possible there is no video and someone put this up as a fake for people on this sub to give them fake internet points.

Certainly. The lack of information is not the same thing as a "no".

some fake bullshit

This

Try searching that keyword with google then duckduckgo and compare the results.

My number 1 hit on google was snopes, dated 2 days ago. They sure are quick at debunking.

(As an aside reddit isn't letting me log in on the main site, strange)

Could be that could be they never paid their server bill could be the feds shut it down after honey trapping all the pedos there could be aliens turned off the DNS could be all our devices sharing a malfunction could be anything really

Error code 503 isnt caused by device ossues its a server side error that returned by the server

Could be a staged 503 error to mask DNS trickery.

Seems somewhat rational if someone is seriously trying to shut up decenters on Syria and would explain the silencing of Asange

OP, we need a Submission Statement, the last one was taken down for the same issue. Thanks!

No.

Good luck then! Thanks

Just to clarify, all posts requite SSs now, even self posts?

Yup, my mistaken, saw the last post removed and initially thpught this was another direct link.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a required SS for all posts, but was just making sure I didn't accidentally miss a change in Rule 13.

Not at all, saw one removed and checked for newer posts about the topic, just to make sure they didn't get caught up, but failed to notice it was a self. Thanks for checkinng though, appreciate!

As for the an ss on self posts, I'm not sure how that would work, because you 'should" be expressing something in your own word... although I''m well aware of the by pass it provides.

I thought self.posts didn't need a SS.

You are correct, I'm wrong. Was just trying to help. Thanks for the correction.

No worries, mate. Carry on!

Fuck reddit for getting rid of the p g sub

It’s been so different ever since...

Yeah, we don't have pizzagaters around quite so much. It's great

You glow in the dark

Wow, still down at least 43 minutes now. That is a HARD outage for a site like this. Must be some major news being shared over there. Anybody know what is going on?

Must be the wiggermaggots.

I first noticed it was down about 6 hours ago.

47 mins later, still down...

7 hours later and still down

16 hours later down

And so on...

Reminds me of that time 4chan went down after someone supposedly shared a pic of an alien being in the desert.

ayyyy

haha yeah right..

wh-what pic?

lawl

There's a website I haven't heard in a long time

More detail please.

503 can mean overload or a purposeful takedown by the owner for "maintenance."

I tried get on it prolly 12 hrs ago with same error. been all day

They started talking about Israel and Syrian attacks excessively but that’s no different than here.

They were naming the Jew with increased regularity.

To find out who rules over you.....

The killary video was posted yesterday

What video? Are you guessing, or do you know for sure because you were on there yesterday?

I was on there yesterday. I can't attest to the content of the video ad I didn't follow the links out, but they were posted and they may have been 'real'.

Fuck cunts like this are actually questioning stupid conspiracy theories on r/conspiracy! Go murder a baby kankrejalaska and see how it feels.

I dont believe you. If it was it would be all over by now

Listen. I don't know. I didn't watch it, but I saw the link.

It was a fake Link to a non existent site.

So you've seen the real video, on the real site? I wouldn't admit to that online if I was you, we can trace your ip.

oh my gosh kid, reading comprehension F

fake link / *non existent** site.*

You'll believe anything.

Trump powered Russian troll bots downvoated it into oblivion. I don't like belief. You can have it. Pigs can fly.

Clinton snuff video leaked?

That was another unverified hoax from the Q psyop.

Or maybe related ones

It was getting too hardcore for it's own good near the end. Posts were openly using the "N" word like it was the norm. Detailing stats is one thing but labeling is counterproductive. Let's hope they get back up soon. They did do a great job of informing. Is hooktube also down?

Oh no not naughty no no words. Oh man the cyber police give you 3 years a shadow ban for that. /s

When people communicate in a sub standard method, I get suspicious that they are doing it on purpose.

I don't really trust information about the secrets of the most important people in the world from trailer trash who are mad they can't feel somewhat superior for having white skin.

Nigger faggots are amazing tho

Removed. Rule 1.

They're only bad words if you're a biggot.

They were using the "((()))" word openly

Someone must have said a naughty.

I wonder if their CP Voat subs got them the boot?

Please your joking right?

People do it on purpose to get them in trouble. Porn is not well received there.

I mean, there’s a sub for it. I don’t remember the name but it’s pretty much /r/jailbait

Ya people intentionally post CP to shut subs and websites down and get them taken off of google because of CP so thus killing a website or gives permission for website owners to shut down certain areas under the guise "For the good of the site" which is true.

Mainly just assholes and paid assholes use this technique to destroy what they dont like on the internet while feeling like theyre safe behind a VPN and proxy which theyre not.

Why not just ban the sub though?

One of those "If its here its everywhere and every user here is a pedo" kinda mentality.

Also they do. I think they actually used this technique along with a few others like posting actual personal details(doxxing) to take sub reddits down like the pizzagate sub.

It gives google an excuse to remove the site from their listing completely and gives the site owner the green light to remove what they have been wanting to remove but wouldnt be able to because of back lash.

Youngladies was the name of it actually, i don’t know if it’s still up or not, or if they just moved. But yeah.

I believe it but I also believe voat is under attack. Targeted CP attacks was how Voat's image host was killed off I believe.

Oh, I was not aware. (((Porn))) is looked down upon there as being a moral degeneracy. Most of the subs I see are v/whitebeauty and v/traditionalwives.

Jesus christ.

I know! How offensive is that? At least on reddit, there are transexual videos, pegging, soyboys, etc.

/r/sounding is always a top example.

Lol. Nice. The de-evolution of society.

They do thread on the edge of CP-related stuff.

Yes he is, or he's a shill spreading bullshit.

CP is literally the one thing officially not allowed on Voat.

But CP was used to kills Voat's first image hosting service, Slimgur. So it wouldn't surprise us if that was down to Voat.

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/03/imgur-alternative-slimgur-taken-offline-by-targeted-child-porn-uploads/

There was discussion yesterday morning about hidden subverses hosting it, with the intent to report it and have the site shut down, so...

the govt agencies host more kiddie porn than anyone. they say that is is for honeypots, to catch predators... but what if that's just what they tell us.

the subs that are honestly researching can be chalked up to groups of creep sheerly bc of the subject matter. though seemingly it does not matter where the images ORIGINATED from.

Still down at 0053 Apr 19 2018

Still down as of 0741 4/19/18.

4.19.18 @ 1826...still down. I suspect it isn't coming back.

Seems to be the case...

Looks like a cover story to me.

Mind you, that article is over a year old -- they managed to get some funding to tide them over.

But I'd bet it ran out.

Last year, dummy

hosteurope.de shut down voat because of its content.

While not required, you are requested to use the NP (No Participation) domain of reddit when crossposting. This helps to protect both your account, and the accounts of other users, from administrative shadowbans. The NP domain can be accessed by replacing the "www" in your reddit link with "np".

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Does this mean that all those people are coming back to reddit? Fuck.

Who am I kidding? they never really left.

Yes because eddit is a bastion of tolerance, open thought, and free speech.

/s

YEAH FUCKING RIGOHT NIGGER FAGGOT CUNT ASS. THIS WILL PROBABLY GET CENSORED YOU FUCKING WORTHLESS NIGGER I BET YOU ARE A STRONG INDEPENDENT BLACK WOMAN.

Rule 1 & 10

I've never held my tongue on anything here. I've been banned from subs, but reddit has never banned me or said anything. I kind of think people should be banned if they're assholes, liars, racists, whatever.

I think racists are evil and dumb too, but I don't need Mommy to decide what is or isn't appropriate for me to see. That's the problem with most media today, and it's a big problem. It's overselling through omission.

Several subs use scripts to auto-ban people. I'm banned from subs I've never even been in because they share a core list for banning.

Some of those subs auto-ban people just for posting in /r/The_Donald.

I'm back, bitch.

will free speech be protected at eddit now or is thought crime and feelings more important.

Iirc the motto, “reddit is a bastion of free speech” was removed in 2016

Looks like they finally reached 257 users.

Oh shit, time to refactor some codez

Puttitout has been MIA for a long time. User contributed funding has been disabled for a long time. The warrant canary had not been updated for a significant amount of time. No one knows where money is coming from, and the entire site has been under the control of a handful of power users with questionable motives.

There was little discussion of the Hillary video, much less than what was discussed on 8chan. Doubt it got taken down for this.

CP is a possibility. There was a recent discussion on users creating hidden subverses to host CP, then reporting them to have the site taken down. Well known tactics...

The site has been experiencing a number of major issues with latency and caching. Putt wasn't responding to it, so it's possible he either said screw it and walked away, or wasn't actually who he said he was. With as active as he was, if this is a server issue then it may be a year before he notices.

Your point being what? That you found an old article from before everyone on voat pitched in to pay bills?

The point is the creators were saying the sight is finished for a year now. The fact its down should be no surprise to anyone and if it never comes back up that should also be no surprise. I am aware of the "pitching in" but that is no way to run a sight long term.

doesn't seem like the kind of thing an owner walks away from one day

Reddit was started in 2005 and didn't turn a profit till around 2016 in spite of being extremely popular. Reddit was propped up by investors for those 10+ years. Voat would be a direct competitor obviously and appears to have had very little support from investors. So sure the voat might have high traffic but that does not mean its profitable or even sustainable.

If anything high traffic with no profit is even worse.

they do if they're paying high bandwidth bills, but are known as a place where people go to be racist and make fun of fat people... so they can't make an advertising profit.

They had enough in bitcoin and user donations to keeo them afloat for 3 years

What Hillary video?

The one showing her and Huma killing a child and cutting its face off and wearing it.

WTF, please tell me more.

Um I only know about it from 8ch. It was called frazzledrip. Of course it's fake If you believe (((snopes))) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-snuff-film/

The API and preview voat is still online https://preview.voat.co/v/all

Still down at noon UTC.

Their Twitter isn't being used for status anymore .. or anything really:

https://twitter.com/voatco

and weirdly, https://status.voat.co/ is password protected.

I don't think they have a status page.

If u use and iphone and scroll up u can see the status lights on the page which are all red

I was checking it yesterday midday and it was hella slow... Threads were loading in 2 minutes. Before I stopped checking and voat went down, there was a thread alleging that Dropbox is being used to trade CP. Someone in the comments said go on DDG, look up Dropbox trade, then turn the adult filter off. Look at images, and you will see thumbnails of CP. I did it myself, scrolled further, and it got worse... I don't know if this is related, though.

CONTACT THE AUTHORITIES

Just reported at cybertip.org. Never reported this sort of stuff, so hope it goes to the right people...

What the fuck

jesus christ

DDG? And please report if you can.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

 If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

Some idiot on r/againsthatesubreddits is now claiming that you like browsing CP.

They shutdown due to lack of funding.

still down 805 mst

from June, 2015

What? I missed that. My apologies all.

https://voten.co is up. similar name, but different. Same freedom of speech. Opensource too. And yes, I am the creator.

The site is making my computer ping "HM Customs and Excise" web address every six seconds. What's up with that???

Fbi

This is the first time I hear about this. Could you please leave me a screenshot or something?

The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication for the targeted resource.

When (after trying which action) do you get this? Thanks for the report BTW

still down.

isitdownrightnow web site reports Voat is under maintenance.

RIP voat

Makes me wonder what happened...

I wonder what spurred this and whether or not this is connected to that haven of trash known as stormfront and its recent financial issues

https://imgur.com/2dTBYtJ

/u/wile_e_chicken, Dude, how many YouTube tabs do you need to have open?

MOAR TABS

OPEN ALL THE TABS!!

https://i.imgflip.com/ohrrn.jpg

Jews got mad. And SHUT IT DOWN

What fucking group gave out an assigned talking about of "lack of funding" to the tards posting in this thread? Voat has a dedicated userbase that even created numerous threads BEGGING to contribute to server costs and buy merch and advertisements to support the site.

Yeah, sure.

How the fuck would you know if you don't go there?

The preview site where Voat does code testing is still up: https://preview.voat.co/v/all

Well damn. MP and I will have to create a gardening website, with Hitler and hookers.

I checked out Voat's Twitter account a few minutes ago. No tweets since Jan 23, 2017.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

 If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

Website still down for me.

Luke McKee (https://gab.ai/ozzieslovepedos) really had the Nazi mods (DNC shills) stirred up when he posted this initially to v/pizzagate: https://8ch.net/pol/res/11478443.html

He was banned via downvoting to oblivion based on brigading. Lost a couple thousand CCP to get to -200 or somewhere around there. He contacted me and I started upvoting everything I could. The moderators of pizzagate were involved because many of his posts there were downvoted and then deleted so no one could help him out. Between myself and some others he finally got to around 300. When you're less than -100 you can't do anything on Voat.

Then he was brigaded again, but people were alert to it this time and kept his account alive. Then he decided "to hell with pizzagate" and started his own sub called Pizzagayte. The next day the place was totally off line. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Still down

4/20/2018

A shame it's still down. Only place I found where I can actually debate conservatives. Some of the folks there are... characters, to say the least, but they did seems to respect the concept of freedom of speech on the whole.

https://voat.co is baaaack! Despite what the libtard disinformation article at https://gizmodo.com/goodbye-and-good-riddance-to-voat-reddits-gross-clone-1795337099 would have you believe....and note to the SJW buttlicker Bryan Menegus, I see you censored my comment....big surprise, NOT! And in related news, https://8ch.net/index.html is also alive and well, despite the best attempts of Lil Bro (Google) to bury it.

Ya people intentionally post CP to shut subs and websites down and get them taken off of google because of CP so thus killing a website or gives permission for website owners to shut down certain areas under the guise "For the good of the site" which is true.

Rule 1 & 10

It was a fake Link to a non existent site.

Who's "they?" Reddit banned it because they were doxxing and brigading. For all their vitriol they accomplished nothing. Why would anyone bother to take down the voat unless it was for similar reasons?

You'll believe anything.
