- emdi81 11y agoYou keep telling yourself that, maybe some day the truth fairy will come along and grant you your wish.
- JonTarg 11y agoI thought the super secret internet clubs era was over. How old are you? Most people on voat cross browse. There's even a plugin to put both aggregators in the same page. I don't get where this idea that voat is that "den of pedos and fat haters" is coming from. Anyway, +1 for Snapzu.
- omni 11y agoI have yet to even see what Voat looks like because every time there's a Reddit event and someone mentions it, Voat is completely unresponsive.
- pests 11y agoVoat runs a modified version of the reddit open source code.
- thaw12 11y agoWait, I thought it ran on a completely different codebase? It's hung from an ASP.NET framework running on an IIS server. https://github.com/voat/voat https://github.com/voat/voat
- pixl97 11y agoTrying to grow a site to Reddits size on IIS? That won't end well.
- pests 11y agoWhile totally forgetting sites like StackOverflow use IIS.
- mcintyre1994 11y agoI think stackexchange are still running on IIS so it's probably close to doable - although I imagine they have some seriously smart people and resources way beyond what Voat will in the near future. That said, does Azure play nicely with IIS? I bet it's expensive but can you scale that way maybe?
- davidgerard 11y agoIt's possible to scale, but you have to think about scaling ahead of time. Voat actually didn't and are now scrambling.
- pests 11y agoI think I stand corrected. Thanks.
- davidgerard 11y agoNo, it's a clone, written from scratch in C#.
