To anyone who remembers the good old days......to the people who used to find constant mental torture of people on a daily basis funny......to those that tried to make themselves look like something they arent......to all those "hackers", and people with websites linked to bolt just to get around bolts rules as much as possible......and to those who actually met and did the nasty...

To everyone i met and knew for years, i bid you farewell.

Bolt Lost Lawsuit

An additional reason for Bolt's demise is that they were recently Defendants in a lawsuit which they lost based on breach of contract. The company that sued Bolt was a partner that was effectively run out of business because of Bolt's tactics. They have a history of working in ways that conflict with legal principles and with two lawsuits against them and a loss already on record GoFish likely realized that Bolt is too big of a risk. Maybe the Bolt.com name isn't worth as much as one might think.

The estimated value of

The estimated value of http://bolt.com is: $3,901,950

This value is calculated based on several factors shown above, including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity, and overall occurrences of the domain name on the web.

Adios Bolt

Its a shame they didn't give anyone a heads up that the site was going down. I had over 700 pictures from the last few years of my life that we posted. It was a place that I thought was always going to be there. I guess I was wrong.

Did you really expect them

Did you really expect them to give notice? Bolt2 went bye bye without much notice. IT would have been nice of them to send out a mass email or something. They were aware that some members didn't visit bolt2 everyday anymore. And it would have been nice to have time to save photos, memories and get contact information from old bolt friends.

My opinion of bolt went downhill over the years.. it just kept getting worse, and while it's sad it's come to an end. I can't say they didn't deserve it, or that I didn't see it coming.

The original bolt site

The original bolt site (Bolt2.com) did give notice of their closure, many of the users transfered over to the new bolt site, yet some did not like the new bolt site and stuck with the old bolt site. however, the old bolt site did give about a two weeks notice and say that they were shutting down because they wanted to focus their energies on the new Bolt site, and so those that visited everyday did manage to transfer before they closed. This new Bolt just closed without notice and many had lost their information because of the "lawsuit" which was really stupid, because I know that many had kept their lives there, and so the rest is history.
