I've more or less dedicated and sacrificed my life to seeing to it that Voat succeeds and then come across posts like this demanding details when there are none, especially as if I haven't already proven my commitment to Voat over the last 5 years.
Dude disappeared for 18 months or so! Even last April when Atko had to reboot the server, and was the straw that made Poal.
Nailed it ... and big part of why I left. Plus, have you noticed he never gives atko credit for anything. it's 'his' site and 'he' built it ... when those of us who've been around know better.
Honestly atko deserves a lot more credit than anyone gives him.
He sure does and has been written off as invisible to the newer users.
That was the straw that got me off my ass. I had no idea at the time how to do it and many said I wouldn't and couldn't do it. However as I've said in the past generally it is a bad idea to tell me I can't do something I'll do it just to spite those who said I couldn't. I spent a week learning and then launched poal, showed up and gave me lots more help(the guys on phuks helped a lot before that) and thus poal was born. Puttitout seems to have it in his head that his users owe him something, and I don't agree, I think the owners of these types of sites owe the users for being there.
I mean yeah, suppose the Putt that is commenting now is the same Putt that it's always been. Dude has stuck it out and not shut Voat down and occasionally updates it, sure. But he's also totally flaked on the site, for unfathomable periods of time!
Won't happen here. I may disappear for a day or two from time to time, but will be here if that happens and its only because A. I have some family thing to deal with, or B. I'm having some kind of issue that I don't want you guys to see.

Now I need to find a way to abuse this.
Good luck. Many have tried. No one has succeeded thus far.
