Craig Suffolk, or Martyn Dale are the ONLY people who will tell you if the board was deleted by Proboards staff.

Let this thread drop so they can deal with it, posting in the thread (bumping) will take it further from help.
If the forum has not been deleted by Proboards staff, you will need the ORIGINAL admin password, (the one you used when you first registered DO NOT post passwords here) Craig or Martyn may ask for it.

If no reply in 24 hours, you may bump the thread.

Bookmark this thread so you can find it again.

To other members:- Posting in this thread will not help this member, please allow this to drop.

A TOS violation. (Terms of Service) this the agreement you agreed to when you created the forum. I hope you read this. www.proboards.com/tos.html

Read that and create a new forum and start over again. I'm thinking your forum was not in English but i could be wrong. No way to get your own forum restored. Sorry

[duikertje]

My forum was in Dutch yes, does that make any difference, or?

Yes.

The forum needs to be in English. Please click on the URL i posted in my last reply and read section 3 C.

Just create a new forum and make sure it's all in English.

hmm...didn't know that. I know a lot of proboard forums which are in dutch, but they aren't deleted... and why must a forum be in english?

Those forums will get caught eventaully and be deleted. You really should warn the owners of that forum.

Proboards is based out of California USA and the owner of Proboards made up the TOS long time ago. English is the language the board supposed to be in. Proboards staff needs to know what is being said on the forums and to make sure your forum is not plotting anything against the world.

So PB staff can see if there is a violation; and so they'll actually click on the ads. I know IPB let you have a non-English forum if you purchase ad-free but PB don't let you.

hmm...didn't know that

If you read the ToS before you would have.

You could search www.google.com for other forum providers that allowed multi languages. Sorry
