Forum URL: brokenheartshome.proboards.com/index.cgiI am a long time member of this site and am wondering why it was suddenly taken down under section 25(a). The site condones nothing illegal and all members MUST be over18. Could someone look into this please and maybe reenable the board. Thanks

Agreed. My site has been taken down without warning either. And all I got out of "Section 25(a) of the ProBoards Terms of Service" is "we can take your site down for no reason at all". Uncool.
At least some advance notice could have been handy in backing up all our posts!
I'll have to email these guys too...

I even tried to get the abuse team to be more specific as to "why" my forum was suddenly and without warning just taken offline, and all I got was other than refering to the TOS or to the Guidelines of proboards, there was no more info that could be provided.
I guess that someone somewhere along the line didn't like what my forum contained, which was simply a means of adults 18+ with emotional needs to meet other 18+ adults for support.
Guess we'll never know....
** I was looking thru the support board posts and noted that there was another forum that was taken offline due to a link that the admin had put on the forum, linking to another site, which is a Proboards violation. My question is this.... I know I had a link on the site that WAS here on proboards that linked to another site, is there any way that the forum can be reinstated and I will delete the link off the portal page?
Thanks for your time.

All forums are required to to be for those 13 and above. If you stated on your board that it was only for those who were 18 or older, then that might have been one reason. Also, there might have been items that might have been reported via the "Report Abuse" link at the bottom of all forums hosted on Proboards.
From what I can tell, the only times when a forum is deleted, is if the only way to solve the problem is for a outright deletion, or a PM sent to the administrator by the Abuse Department to fix the problem. If a PM was sent to someone that can solve the problem, the likely problem is that either the PM went either read or unread, and the problem was not taken care of within 48 hours of the PM.

Wait, are you saying you can't link from a ProBoards board to any other website on the Internet?
That doesn't seem right.

less the site they showed was breaking ToS Exactly. Your forum can follow all the rules, but if you post a link to a site that DOESN'T follow the rules, you end up violating the rules.

Does that mean I could have been taken down because of another site's advertisement posting?! That's incredibly unfair.

For those who are not ProBoards staff, can you please leave the answers to us for these cases? Looks like there's some mis-information that has been posted and is not making the situation any better for those involved.
If there was an inappropriate link posted on the forum, the forum would have received a warning to remove the link. This was not the case for the forum in question as it was removed outright without warning, meaning there was something more to it than that. For forums that are removed outright, the details are not provided to Support Staff so I'm unaware of the exact cause for the forums removal. The only ones that know for sure are the abuse team themself, which the email address was provided earlier.

I have emailed the abuse team "several" times requesting the reason,specifically as to why my forum was deleted, and all I get is that "no further information will be provided".
How is it fair to delete someone's site, without warning and without a documented reason? All I get from them is "refer to TOS and/or Proboards Guidelines". As informative as both are, it still doesn't give me the answer that I asked for.
Any ways, I guess I'll never know the reason as to why my site was shut down with no warning. Ashame too, I liked using Proboards.
