Nuts and Bolts, twisted steel lay hot and torn, the Bots war has finally ended. Many were wounded during this onslaught of Upvtes and Downvotes, but still they survive. During this time of War we saw protests through posts on both sides, some claiming allegiance to the Downvote Bot, out to protect our members from spammers and fakes. The other side sought safety from a Bot who could counteract these downvotes and keep their content visible. After days of silence from both sides, it seems that nothing has changed and all users are continuing as normal.
When this war started our registered count was merely in the 30 Thousands, however this war has not stopped the progress of Steemit and its influence to both provide Interesting content, news and technology. This in its self proves that our Community can survive. There are Forums out there full of those who could not survive this system and for those we say Sorry, but to make it here you have to have Patience, Talent and be willing to help your fellow members. Money is the Root to all Evil and this seems to be a common factor to why they have failed, Greed can be an end all devastator.
Those of you who read this, voting or not, are the Survivors and are the life blood of what makes Steemit Great. You are the Survivors of the Storm and continue to bring us unbelievable talent, whether it be through your stories, news, art, technology and everything in between. A Community stays stronger when working together, this is in both Reality and online and Steemits stats prove that this Community continues to grow.
In the End and When the Smoke clears, Steemit will continue to thrive on. There will always be those shrouded in Greed, who will come and go. They will spit Hate towards us and try to destroy our morale, but we have survived this Storm before and now we have the means to shrug it off and continue to go on. There is a bright Future here if you believe in both Steeemit and Yourself. Everything takes time, so hang in there and continue to be a Superstar in writing or creating.
Forecast....Steemit will thrive and continue to grow....Hang on World the Steemit train has just left the station...
@alwaysfelicia The war is far from over. I predicted this, and you can mark my words...

There isn't just one single kind of person who builds bots. There are several. The good guys already banded together, adopted a code of conduct and are busy exploring ways of building helpful bots.

But we were starting to do that before there was ever talk of a rep system.
The so called bad guys, are people playing a different game than we are. They are currently working to build an extortion racket to hold your reputation hostage and produce spam that cannot be censored, but that will make the trending page and stay there, sucking the money out of our economy.
In the meantime, we dropped on a bomb on a city in order to deprive the other side of factory workers, only to find the city we dropped it on was our capital.
Would have been better to look at what they're building and why they are building it and adjusting the rules so those people can make more money doing positive tasks than negative tasks.

Wow, it seemed so silent. I figured the good guys won. LOL, guess we will see. I think we can push through though and hopefully walk hand and hand out of the wreckage better for it.

Did you mean shrouded in Greedo... because he's a complete puss. He either got taken out without a shot fired or he fired first and missed form 3 feet away.
