I had the honor of being the last to talk to Putt after the site shut down. He was admiring what I did to Ruqqus. I put screenshots of our conversation in my Ruqqus movie. I had so much fun Voating up that place.
Here is the link to download the database, if you are interested. The archives shared in this post do not use any database. The SVF archive is just static html files, while the Voat.co archive utilizes json/jsonl files.
Hey SystemGayAlt, can’t seem to get in, I had same user name that I’m using on GAW, and I have the password recorded in my book that I used but can’t get in. Any idea on that? It says I have 2 attempts left…thanks
I was just thinking about the good ol QRV days. Was there daily (mostly lurking after the migration there from the Chans. Now we are all here and still hopeful the plan is proceeding as it should. It is you know, just slower than many thought it would be.
Up voat the Goat!
I think I was the 7th to the last post on that fateful day.
I do miss the "eye wash" links...
Dude I cried my eyes out for days when it shut down. I still think about it so fondly. 😊❤️👍
I made a movie about Poal and in it, I gave tribute to Voat. Enjoy some nostalgia.
Absolutely beautiful music in that! Thank you!.
I miss being able to used my full vocabulary without being banned.

LOL, now I feel like we should recreate a similar browsable version for ruqqus.com.
I kept the dead webpage around for years after the plug was pulled.
It was sort of like the Babylon 5 series - an intense ride with a purpose that ended too quickly
Here's a clinical study of the Voat.co aggregator "I can't keep it up" https://zenodo.org/records/5841668
Whomever is responsible for this - THANKS!!!!!
its been active since voat went away. iirc you can download a backup of the db and load it up into mysql
e: looks like searchvoat shut down aug 2025
Ok, thanks. I was using ‘search voat’ as my go to and I think it went away recently.

yup, thats it alright. much easier to query the treasure from the trash.
e: i didn't realize it was in the links you posted. DOH!
I remember going to voat as a sweet summer child that first time everything migrated there and being a bit shell shocked.
That's so funny, I used to call QRV the wild west because there weren't really any boundaries there like there was with GA. I miss that place.
the autistic Wild West^!🤠🐸
does anyone have the 'return from Voat' meme?🥸
Killer! New links saved.
omg! And it looks the same!! This has made my day! Maybe if we all think positive thoughts we can bring it back in to existence
Voat definitely allowed my creative writing to flourish.
That looks great! I already downloaded the searchvoat.zip to see if I could find my posts .... but it seems a little too small .....
Perhaps I'll let yacy run over it to index it locally (local/shared p-2-p=choice)
lol that’s what I was gonna do! Search to find my posts

Ok, thanks

me too^ I put WW in my post above/before I read yours:) QRV was the only place online to speak freely.
👏👍
Me too. Remember the day it shut down. So sad. It was one of a kind for sure. Miss those days and deep dives.
