They no longer work because they leave an open connection to each user, which eats up insane amounts of bandwidth. During the great migration, this caused voat to crash, so it had to go. It only worked before because there were so few users, leaving an excess of bandwidth.
So the only way it'll come back is for Atko to buy more bandwidth without growing the user base alongside it, which is a waste of money.
That is definitely not the reason they aren't working. They aren't working because of the check your bits screen. Just like how most 3rd party apps aren't working because of that screen. The hell did you get the rest of this bullshit from?
@pangaea when the checking your bits screen leaves chats likely will come back.
That is the reason it's not working. Straight from Atko's mouth, the day chatboxes went down, and everyone got on the voat IRC. The "checking your bits" thing didn't come until a couple days later. The entire problem was bandwidth, which was caused by a massive influx of users, on top of the site being DDoS'd.
