Sorry gotta call bullshit on that one. He didn't apologize for that one until long after I founded poal.co. He did eventually but it took quite a while. I'm not gonna be an asshole and dog pile on the guy but he is not the quickest to apologize or explain what is going on. The root cause of me making poal wasn't voat being down it was his attitude towards the site that the down time followed. You either love what you do or you don't do it. I'm not gonna fault the guy at all he kept it going for fucking years but it sure seems like he doesn't love it anymore. I have no beef with the guy at all he has more than done his part. On the azure thing all the more reason there should not have been any down time but I don't think voat uses azure anymore I think they moved off of that when their student stuff ran out. You could have we could have handled it. I've had quite a few private conversations with some of their big users about them coming to poal. I know they do. Trust me I got this. See the thing here is if we need a new way of dealing with things we figure it out. It doesn't matter what it is we will find a way. Its why I am here every single day. AOU is here every single day. I've spent 2 years doing a podcast where people bring up issues they have with the site. I care about this site I want it to be a place where anyone can say what they want. I've literally spent thousands of dollars on it. I've put an insane amount of hours into it and so has AOU. We actually give a fuck and at the end of the day I know this isn't ever going to be profitable really. That is okay. Its about the speech not the money.
