Been getting database errors for the last few days. Fairly sure they had this a year or so ago and took about a week to get back up

Has anyone been able to connect?

Getting bad gateway errors now, and there's still nothing on the facebook page.

I have sent messages to a couple of the moderators from bolt , who are on other boards. Funny thing is none of them have responded to my PM's. So I must assume and I hate to use that word, but someone hacked the site or the government of the country the servers are located shut them down. This is pure speculation, but with the lack of any valid information, or even anecdotal comments its just a big black whole. I liked how the moderators managed the board and it will be missed if its gone. I have moved and and found a new home here .

Thanks

Bolt's related site - the one they were in the process of setting up - that page can still be seen.

But it says

"Registration is currently disabled for new users. Bolt forum users belonging to the following usergroups (Administrators, Super Moderators, Moderators and Elders) may convert their existing forum accounts (this will not affect your forum account or profile in any way)." which keeps just about everyone from accessing it.

Not that it matters because it looks like might also be out of commission because the one blog I saw has an Invalid date.

It was so good while it lasted. Having withdrawals!

I am also missing it. I would liked to have know why it went down though.

Thank goodness that we have this site.

A site that has had information about Bolt in the past:

https://www.facebook.com/Boltcd-219444101449431/

left hand side posted by a "Van Huston" seems to indicate that
the moderators are working on fixing it

Just found this site about Bolt -

BOLTS BACK

Yeah, back for me as well

I had never heard of it, but it seems to be similar to Mobilism.
Does anyone know if there is a way to register as a new member?

A quote from the moderator

"Bolt Registration has been temporarily closed. This means anyone trying to register a new account will get a message stating that we are closed to new registration.

As soon as we feel we are stable enough, we'll open it back up. Hopefully, this will not be long."

They have closed registration and reopened it up before. Give them time.
