I was hitting archive.is pretty hard these last few days with some of posts that came up so at least some of the comments are there.

Pretty fun that chat is still alive on preview vout

I don't know about you but I'm still kinda numb that it's gone, grieving really.

I hope that Putts is getting some hugs. And scotch.

A bunch of us are also on element now.

Good to know more precious data was archived!!

It has been a crazy ride from the past 2 or 3 days. I saw many users were trying to save their data. @meowski made a tool for them to use, so they did not have to download manually. Voat was going in and out of coma (LOL) as it happened... I further saw many users panicking from different subverses, as they tried to save their communities... I felt a lot of sadness, but also a lot of joy; it was a moment of witness of how much people care about Voat, about their communities, and their precious data, and how almost everyone came together as a Voat family!! Though there were a few whose character never seemed to have changed; they were there to mock Voat, even to the final moments of Voat.

Yeah, that appears to be the only comm on preview.voat.co. TAOV appears to be down, it may have to do with words gotten around. Some of us believe it may be the next Voat, while others think it is a password fishing site. But we trust @PuttItOut; he mentioned to keep an eye on the site. I have tried a good number of well known usernames while it was still up. It appeared that only Putt's name was registered there.

On the subject of https://preview.voat.co/chat/whatever, @ShrimpAnon was abusing Putt's embedded image command, by showing an image of gigantic boobs, LOL. It was a mistake to ask @argosciv to reveal that command.

I don't know about you but I'm still kinda numb that it's gone, grieving really.

Same... I had trouble sleeping last night. There is this void in my heart; it will serve as a reminder of the Holy Place called Voat. And maybe someday, soon I hope, a better version of Voat will miraculously rise from the ashes...

I hope that Putts is getting some hugs. And scotch.

...and then he says: "Fuck yeah!! I can finally get away from a bunch of naggers!" Just kidding!

How do you even search for something like that?

A void indeed

Just go to taov.co's registration page and try out a dictionary of known usernames, such as Atko, PuttItOut, Cynabuns, SearchVoat, PeaceSeeker, etc... Only PuttItOut got a positive hit.

Hmm. Okay, thank you.

It's real.
