The best what? Please clarify because as far I can tell it's just another forum with more or less exactly the same sort of insipid forum kind of stuff that you can find both here and at 14,893,241 other places.

[P2PDog]

It sounds a little more intelligible coming from someone who actually knows what it is, and who doesn't think it's some kind of exclusive site, which it's not..

http://filenetworks.blogspot.com/2010/09/boltorg-now-open-for-registration-huge.html

It's a DDL forum that has about a half million members and was open signup until they closed it recently. It's open again now. Hardly what I'd consider "impossible to get registered" :lol:

[gamesover]

But does it offer anything warez-bb, forumw, silentground, katz forum, etc don't have?

[P2PDog]

I've had occasions where I've searched for something and it's been on one forum, and not the other, but for the most part they serve the same stuff.

It's an open forum, sign up and have a look for yourself.

Bolt works good for USA, where a lot of NON-Rapidshare hosts are unusable. Bolt,cd = Bolt.org = Rapid.org is mostly RS now. The now-closed, members-only section contains well-grouped and well-updated links. Bolt.cd works well because the users are dedicated to their threads and organize categories logically with good descriptions and quick updates. Bolt may be unique in this aspect.
But lots of reliability issues. Last week, a bot attack disabled the whole site for several hours deleted some unrecoverable posts (some were mine).
Full disclosure: I was recently banned from Bolt recently for criticizing their internal SE, which they themselves admit as broken (http://bolt.cd/board/showthread.php?t=746682): "Please do not make any more threads asking what is wrong with it, as these will be deleted from now on."
They not only banned me, they deleted everything associated with my account -- posts and all ... I was a big-time Thanks-er -- all lost (other's lost my Thanks notices) because a few Bolt mods are super-touchy and like to "micro-moderate" and play Ubermench ad libitum.

Shocking that a filesharing site would be run by teens and the power mad or as may apply ,power mad teens.

Oh, god. Not the thankses. All those clicks for nothing. I don't see how the internets can survive it, tbh.


I blame society.

[mh1313]

Thx for your responses thusfar.

I partly take some responsibility for the Bolt ban: I was far too trusting. In the year or so I was on Bolt, I may have posted only 20x, but they were all long, thought-out posts on subjects such as how to build and tweak internal forum SEs which, again, Bolt has huge issues with. And a few days ago, I replied to some one with HDD problems, commenting on better HDD brands and cleaner AC voltage being important factors. So ... 20 long, meaty, non-vulgar posts. Maybe, some of the mods -- several who deleted msgs at the drop of a hat w/o much justifying reason for their actions -- saw such posts as mine as some sort of existential threat to their INDIVIDUAL and LEGACY rulership (I never want/wanted that job!). Moderators' monarchy -- as I like to call it -- is a pathology ... and spreads like cancer.

That said, the ban was a good lesson in several important ways -- kinda like Nietzsche's pithy aphorism: "what does not kill me makes me stronger". I had to look for alternate forums/sources for files (my posting here on firesharingtalk.com is a direct result of the Bolt ban). And, indeed, I found pretty much all that come to depend on from Bolt: Rapidshare-hosted files for TV documentaries (for other interests, like ebooks and music, Bolt was NEVER even a minor source [compared to major players such as avaxhome or, for classical music -- a personal interest -- boxset.ru or various private Blogspot blogs].
BTW: although Bolt.cd deleted ALL traces of my account, I had several browser tabs, with various Bolt (members-only pages w/my username/messages shown clearly.) OPEN!!! I screen-captured as much as I could and am working on an independent Blog project to detail what happened. It may go viral ;)

[mh1313]

But lots of reliability issues. Last week, a bot attack disabled the whole site for several hours deleted some unrecoverable posts (some were mine).A bit more on this from my orig. comment...
First, those bot attacks were/are not all that uncommon. This was what we saw as the disruption:

Database error
The Bolt.cd database has encountered a problem.
Please try the following:
Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
Open the bolt.cd home page, then try to open another page.
Click the Back button to try another link.
The bolt.cd forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
State/Media-corporation-sponsored Flame/Stuxnet-style attack? ... or by someone in my shoes -- just an outspoken file-sharer who wanted a slightly smoother internal SE, and got banned. But I was only a small-time file downloader with 20 posted comments. I can't imagine a major Bolt user -- who pissed off the Bolt mods, resulting not only in a vanished account, but a loss of income, etc. Yeah, those bot attacks seem a bit more "explainable" now.
Also noted (and as most of you are already aware) is the fact that you have to be an approved member to gain access to the important fileshare posts. Some would argue that this added layer protects them from the "big-bad govt & corporatocracy" who want to find/delete file-host links. This is a legitimate excuse that I partly agree with .... BUT, avaxhome is totally open to downloaders. And even Google respects them somewhat by indexing avaxhome (you can Google-find file-shared files posted on avaxhome with surprisingly high SERP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_results_page)) All this may point to a simple fact: If you're good and respected file-sharer, like avaxhome, you don't need to hide.

The now-closed, members-only section contains well-grouped and well-updated links. Bolt.cd works well because the users are dedicated to their threads and organize categories logically with good descriptions and quick updates. Bolt may be unique in this aspect.Forgot to note one other redeeming feature: NO ADS. Dunno how Bolt funds itself -- e.g., private donations, etc -- but ads are distracting and all those 'scripts suck up CPU cycles.
Alas, this does not make up for all the baddies...
I noted that banned members simply disappear (no "Banned" label appears after-the-fact, tho' that used to be the case). This means threads, posts, replies and THANKS's (as prev. noted) all vanish. Imagine a long, important thread started by a banned member -- with lots of contributions by non-banned -- simply vanishing. But you don't have to be banned to suffer ... even as an active member, I had posts edited or deleted W/O any sort of notification. I have screen captures as proof!
And the govt. over there (http://bolt.cd/board/showgroups.php) -- a population and culture of power-tripping, gods-playing way-too-many Mods (http://bolt.cd/board/showgroups.php) -- completely PLAYS DUMB.
Many current Bolt members have noted missing and reducing THANKSes in their posts. And none of the Mods have chimed in about bans being a primary reason. Want proof? Here is recent Bold.cd thread entitled "Thanks reduced (http://bolt.cd/board/showthread.php?t=745843)". Extrapolating, based on the number of "disappearing bans", one may reason that it's OPEN SEASON for banning on Bolt. Maybe they do it for the sport ... because of the thrill ... because they're bored. And of course, "Sorry, registration has been disabled by the administrator." So the game-park is well protected.
If you are a current and active Bolt member, do not post on this topic openly on Bolt. Your post will vanish, you may be banned. You may try PMing your CLOSE friends over there. But careful: my ban was mostly based on a philosophical PM with one of the SuperMods (I have supporting screen captures, which I will post on the upcoming, dedicated Blog). What you may want to do is PM your close Bolt friends about this post/thread.

The majority of the Bolt membership is an important and deserving group of file-sharers. And they deserve better. Otherwise, I would not bother with these long-winded posts.

Let it go.
Mods basically suck bawls. This is a common theme which runs through most sites and one no sane person should ever worry about.

Which brings me directly onto my next point which rather neatly ties in with my first.
I banned the last mentalist we had and we need a new one :mellow:

But your idea, as well intentioned as is it is, wouldn't work.

At least not for me. I'd feel less of a man without my tiny vestige of internets power, even for a moment. I'd start over-eating or rocking gently while Coldplay inexplicably resonated throughout my wankpit.

Or just continue protesting until you end up at a place where they still haven't managed to ban you. I almost want to believe this is my last stop.

Both original posts would be on-topic. It's just that this one went off-topic and got moved here, it's still off topic and that's why it shouldn't be moved back.

You're not facing deportation.

Or at least I don't think you are. Not in an internet sense, anyway. You may have been being literal, however, in which case I thoroughly empathise with your situation.
I'm just kidding. I've never been deported nor do I know anyone who has. May I offer some sympathy in its stead.

Funny, "deportation" would get mentioned... I had not tried The Lounge until Idol moved one of my threads here, and I've basically been trapped ever since. You get used to it after a while. You learn how to fashion suitable shelter from the remains of bombed out buildings, and insulate your boots with old newspapers. After time goes by and you get hungry enough, the vermin passing through become sustenance. Eventually, you forget why you came and ultimately begin muttering strange sentences that are only understood by those who live here...

You have to wait for fifteen days before you can PM. Or is it a month, idk.

Anyway. it's better you PM anon rather than me because

Neither of us are admin :(

We'd have to use our private email address for that and, altho' I can't speak for anon, typically I only use that to hit on unsuspecting female members.
You could always make a report in the report section if you absolutely need to talk to us right away.

I have no problem with giving out my email addy. If Admin wants to juggle communications between anon and I, that's okay.
Not a life or death issue, tho!
BTW: it must be a month to PM. I've been here more than 15 days.

12th of June you joined up, matey.
I'm pretty sure it's 15 days before you can PM, btw.

Honestly, just make a report if you need to talk privately about an issue. It'll just be you and the mod team who can see it.

Get a room, or do something else.

And possibly Dave, hiding out in a wardrobe at one of the mods houses.

ikr. It's like a 4 year old going, "I've got to tell you something. I've got to tell you something. I've got to tell you something."

Parent, "What."

4 year old: "Nothing."

:pinch:

[Something Else]

Full disclosure: I was recently banned from Bolt recently for criticizing their internal SE, which they themselves admit as broken (http://bolt.cd/board/showthread.php?t=746682): "Please do not make any more threads asking what is wrong with it, as these will be deleted from now on."
They not only banned me, they deleted everything associated with my account -- posts and all ... I was a big-time Thanks-er -- all lost (other's lost my Thanks notices) because a few Bolt mods are super-touchy and like to "micro-moderate" and play Ubermench ad libitum.
Oh, god. Not the thankses. All those clicks for nothing. I don't see how the internets can survive it, tbh.


I blame society.
