Forum URL: thenylonswish.freeforums.net/Well this is embarrassing. I just received an email from one of my members asking why my forum was taken down. I went to my forum and this message appeared: In accordance with Section 25(a) of the ProBoards Terms of Service, this forum has been taken offline.
Could I ask why my forum was taken down without any warning, and what I can do to have it put back up please? Surely I could have been contacted before it was removed?? A lot of people used this forum for personal reasons and this is so dookie. Elinor elinor@thenylonswish.com

Hi Warnings are sent as a PM to the main admin account on the forum, so it is possible that you did get a warning, but you overlooked it. However, please also be aware that if the very nature of the forum is against the ProBoards terms of service, so, for example, the forum was dedicated to illegal downloading of movies, then no warning is sent. No one on this forum is privy to the information regarding why the forum was removed, but if you shoot an email over to the abuse department at abuseteam@proboards.com , they will hopefully be able to help you.

I didn't receive an email notification of a PM and I don't log in daily to the forum. It was a lingerie forum so I'm slightly confused... emailing the abuse dept right now

I hope so too, I have received a dozen email overnight asking what's happened. This is embarrassing.

You should receive a reply within 24-48 hours. Hopefully all goes well for you I have contacted them to ask why it was taken down and they have told me that they can't give me any more information. Don't you think it is unreasonable to have 2 years worth of threads and a community that I have built just deleted with no warning or justification? I need to know why it was removed, and seeing as I'm not getting anything from the abuse team, could you please let me know what happened? Or could you direct me to a person who can help?

Unfortunately the support staff have no connection to the abuse department and will be unable to know and give you any information on why your forum was taken down. Only the abuse department has that information.
Edit: given that you stated your forum was a lingerie forum it leads me to believe that you might have been in violation of the pg-13 rated content rule since children should not be having anything to do with lingerie. But again I can not say for certain this is the case and neither can anyone else here on support.

Also for whatever it's worth, when forums are removed without notification it's because the forum as a whole contradicts the allowed useage as outlined in the ToS. It's only when the abuse department feels the issue can be rectified that warnings are issued.
I understand it's frustrating but you did agree to 25(a) upon registration which states that a forum can be removed at any time. I don't know why the forum was removed but I'd review the ToS and see if the forum violated anything outlined in "prohibited use".
