• Wow! That's really sad!
  I hadn't logged into Bolt for a while now (years). I tried to do it tonight for nostalgic reasons, and man was I crushed to hear the bad news. Bolt was way more impacting to me than Myspace will ever be. Forget bulletins! What ever happened to good old IRC chat & the freedom that came with the commands you could use? And "going private?" And those who were savvy enough knew backdoor sites that allowed you to (in violation of user terms agreement) control chat rooms on bolt.com, which allowed you to clone user IDs and boot people, locking them out of the room altogether! Ha ha, great times!
  
  Oh, and a/s/l? :) I actually met a girl on bolt.com that I wound up dating. And during my second phase of Army training (the job training, or AIT), I would be at the post library chatting it up, making friendships that lasted for years, all through bolt.com. Oh well. I agree with whoever said it would be nice if someone revives it. In reply to: "RIP Bolt.com: Social networking before we knew what it was"
