Well, being as we no longer have anything left to lose on Jolt if we say meeeeean things, I don't think I need to restrain myself the way I was in prior rants on the matter.

We tried our damnedest to warn people to save copies of their own threads, because we had no idea when/if (now clearly a matter of "when") they would pull the plug on the old forum. I hope desperately that people took the advice and that nobody completely lost threads they really wanted to hang onto. If you haven't gotten backups, use those Wayback links and stuff that others have suggested. Hopefully somebody has or can get copies of stuff like the Zooke threads, DFD's epic war thread, and so on. I personally have my important roleplay and storyline threads, the original NS Quotes thread, and a scattering of others.

And, if you'll pardon my sounding entirely too much like my bastard mod alterego, fuck Jolt. Up the backside with an entire gang of piston-driven hyperactive robotic hyenas dual-wielding red-hot rusty tire irons covered in sulfuric acid. (That's still the mild version. The full version involves syphilis and implying Jolt sucks something diseased.) As of now I have no more reason to visit that pit of obnoxious ads and idiotic administration (with apologies to Lydias, who seems to be the only competent person in that $deity-forsaken place,) and the Reploid Productions account on the Jolt forums shall never login again.

There's no going back now, and while I am saddened to see so much Nationstates history lost forever, at the same time all ties to Jolt are now well and truly gone; there's only one direction Nationstates can go, and that's forward. In just a year and a half, the new forum has laid new foundations to replace the old. We've been around for 8 years now, and luck willing in another 8 we'll still be here, and Jolt will be nothing more than a Wiki article about a defunct company!

tl;dr:
Reppy really hates Jolt.
