Proboards- new sign ups

[I need a coffee]

I have another site I made using FrontPage, and I need to make a Proboards site to hook into it so people can chat and ask questions. BUT, you know what I'm REEAALLY ticked off about?!?! PROBOARDS WON'T EXCEPT SIGN-UPS BECAUSE IT IS STILL UPGRADING VERSION 4!!!!! I've been waiting more than a week for it to except new sign-ups, but every day when I click "Sign up", it annoyingly says, "Sorry, we will not be able to except sign ups blah blah blah within a week...thank you for your patience." Well, Proboards, you lied and I am OUT OF PATIENCE!!!! I WANT TO MAKE A BOARD NOW!!!!! So hurry the heck up please I can't wait any longer!! Plus, your cheap version 4 won't let people under 13 sign up so my friend who is 11 can't sign up becuase her parents won't let her lie about her age and that is dumb I think. Sorry, Proboards, for all the yelling, it's just that I want you to hurry, please!! I am DYING to finish my second website and all I need is a board!! So PLEASE hurry. Thank you!

first of all, upgrading has finihed, as such, but Pat is swatting all the bugs, and when that is complete, signups should be enabled.

secondly your 11 tear old friend was never allowed to signup, no person under 13 according to COPPA

It's the law that you have to be 13 or older to register at a ProBoard. (COPPA)

As for signups... better that Pat keeps them closed until the servers can handle more accounts than for him to reopen them before it's workable. There's only so much that each server can handle.

I'm guessing singups will be enabled soon. In a few days, right? I'm waiting too, but I'm not screaming about it man. Just get all your graphics together and stuff while you wait!

Yeah, and when are sign-ups going to be enabled? 20 years from now? Sheesh! They said a week! I've waited long enough and my patience is growing short! Oh, and plus, check your spelling (I'm talking to the first person who replied to my topic), I never seen anyone spell "year" as "tear" or "upgrading" as "upgradinf." If your such a genious, when will they except sign-ups?!

wisely said.... it wouldn't hurt to look at other forums and codes and such as well....

Oh, and Mike, thanks for not being such a smart-genious like most dumb internet people. *hint-hint, All Seeing Eyes!*

It seems to me you are the only one confused on your facts, and insulting people here.

PB Staff is being slow with this whole v4 move thing actually...

I thought this whole thing would last no more than 2 weeks or so..

But its been nearly a month, and frankly this isn't really worth the wait at all.

Pat is doing a great job with the coding, working hard, and fixing the bugs.

I hate to say it though, but he's doing a kinda sloppy job with communication.

I'm not smart, and i'm not a genius, but i don't insult those that try to help, and i read the terms before use.

Thats the point Nightclaw was trying to get across under all the yelling.
