No, you do not need to bump a problem thread. You need to wait until someone capable of answering sees it (which may be anywhere from 1-3 days).
The common problem for starting the launcher but the game not running is that bout.dat is corrupt or missing from the client folder. Go to your BoutCheetah folder and look for bout.dat in the home directory. If it's there, check its file size and post it so I can verify its integrity.
