Bolt.com is Closing in April.

[░▓░]

Got a note from Bolt_Restarter and the re$ource$ needed to maintain the Ning account will exhaust in April.

Take care, guys.

I saw the handwriting on the wall. A few of us did. On the other hand there are plenty of other sites out there to jump ship to. Unfortunately the best ones you can usually only get in by invitation.

When the previous bolts closed down I saved and backed up everything important e.g. the bolt2 logo, which I proudly display, along with my posts.

There ought to be an emergency bolt3 logo made asap

Guess its goodbye all then pretty soon. Sad to say i can't really see bolt coming back yet again.

Groove, bolt will reincarnate for the 4th time.

I'm just too lazy to go and find my backups for the original Bolt. The members then were totally cool. Pre twit and face

[SilencedEffect]

Can't say I didnt see this coming (again)... I honestly would have given it atleast a couple years though.

[iaininlondon]

No-one gives a shit

[Curious George]

I don't think so this time LL.

3 strikes, your out. 

There is nothing left to rebuild. 

If even if there was, who will pay the $60 a month to run it?

Well shoot.

I badgered him and the Ning network about doing something and I got an answer.

Restarter didn't go into detail about his reason/reasons, and nor did I feel he needed to justify his action to me, but he is making a serious investment of his resources for a community that doesn't appreciate his effort. Pretty sure the Jer incident evaporated whatever trust he had in Bolters maintaining the site.

The site has been mismanaged under numerous hands and hasn't been very fruitful either.

OH how sad

[Meow]

well Restarter should of used better judgment managing his site and interacted more often with his mods then..the only time he ever bothers to make a statement around here, is when something goes seriously wrong..why he choose that jer as a mod, made no sense what so ever , it was plain for all to see he was nothing but a freaking idiot.

Ask him to sign it over to me. Can't see that being a problem, it frees him of any debt or obligation.
