Oh okay probably just people snapshotting the site for posterity and overloading the bandwidth then

Yeah, or archiving it. How big do you think a backup of voat would be?

Hm probably like 1 GB if it was just the text and comments. If it had all the thumbnails and stuff, probably 10s of GBs. But from the perspective of the voat server it's got to load basically every page on the entire website.

Also there's probably like 50 people all trying to spider the whole website at once like this so it'll probably be unusable like this until it shuts down on the 25th
