I can feel the salt.

Literal salt now:

"Well, if we are referring to the same situation then I agree. I haven't always been as professional as I'd like and have been a dick. I did apologize if that means anything.

It always hurts me to have people like you who turn on me when I'm just trying to keep the site online." - Putt link

I get what he's saying, but I feel it was less "take our ball and go home" and more having been pushed out.

I agree with you. Seems like a cheap way of not taking ownership of his roll in the userbase departure.

It's very intriguing to me who responded to his sticky and how few upvotes Putt is actually getting these days.

While there is some valid concerns, and possibly cause for anger, remember that most likely Phuks and/or Poal wouldn't be here today if not for Voat. The problems at Voat were definitely an impetus for these sites, and a great learning tool. It's shouldn't be a cult thing for any site, and while a little complaining/venting is good, there's room for all the free-as-possible speech sites that we can get.

If Putt has any concern for Voat left, he's reading these comments on these other sites. Hopefully he will take some this to heart if he is.

You can start a pretty long list of firsts if you start that line of thinking. Let's go all the way back to digg and so on.

I'm pretty sure the return of chat was due to this. One look at Poal and Phuks and you'll see that chat is a powerful selling point to users.

They are down again. Your post crushed their servers with traffic. LMAO.

I find it very strange that he has no memory of searchvoat.co. He had it in the sidebar before.

Interesting observation Bill.

I've always been perplexed by Voats userbase and the searchvoat's relationship. It's a completely seperate server and site that archives all of voat. How this kind of internet archiving from a seperate source wasn't shunned by the tin hat club at voat baffles me.

And why Putt has somehow forgot all about it is also very odd.

So many things don't add up there anymore.

Putt also responded to deletion of accounts. Says should be able to after the update is pushed. link

Keep kicking the can

I just tried. Still cant.

I can't as well but this was the very first time Putt has at the very least acknowledged the bug.

It's also Putts fourth "birthday" on Voat. Lots of things have happened in those four years.
