Nope. None that I'm aware of. I think it's safe to assume that this website has been compromised.

How much money does it take to run this site vs. how much money do we as users pay to this site...

There was discussion back when voat died Putt suicided voat. m7 dropped some details if anyone wants to check his comments from Dec./Jan.

He essentially said his costs were a fraction of voats, and far less than I want to say based on memory alone. Voat was 'renting' some kind of software that cost a fortune, while m7 coded around all the expensive stuff.

Point being, m7 has claimed saidit is very cheap to run.

Yep, still true. This site has never cost more than about $90/mo. to run.

Was thinking I remembered him saying around $80, but that seemed absurdly low for this type of site. Still does, actually.

It's a benefit of using 10 year old code that has been heavily optimized. There are drawbacks though as well. Also Cloudflare takes a lot of load off of web sites that use it.
