Holy shit, it's a public entry!
Yes, I know.... I said it would never happen on this journal, but there are some issues that are affecting the LJ community at large, so instead of making what will just be one more out of thousands of comments, I'm going to address all my concerns right here. Besides, what I have to say is far too long for one comment.

Basically, Bolt started going down around the time that they first decided to appeal to the 13-16 crowd exclusively, and started kicking off and picking on a lot of longtimers (Jess has a primo story about that one). A great many of us got sick and tired of the bullshit and drama and migrated to LJ land.
At some point in the past eighteen months or so, the executive idiots at bolt decided that they needed to become a youtube clone, and shunted bolt over and turned what was the original bolt into bolt2. Of course, it was the dumbest idea ever, and they didn't do things quite right because they ended up in a large quantity of legal hot water. bolt2 got shut down in april, and youtubebolt got shut down by a cease and desist order at some point in August.
By the way, what was your s/n on bolt? I was CaptainObviousA, if that rings a bell.

It was sad that it went that way, kinda. I'd been there since early 2000, and had made a lot of friends on there.
