Proboards boasts "ProBoards has focused on building a stable and innovative free forum hosting service" so i decided to give proboards a try and i setup a free forum as a online resource for watch information and i put hundreds of hours into setting up the forum and uploading all my watch information only to get this when i checked on it today "In accordance with Section 25(a) of the ProBoards Terms of Service, this forum has been taken offline." without so much as a single word from anyone ! No PM's, No emails, No IM's, No nothing from proboards at all !!! This is proboards idea of a stable hosting service ? hundreds of hours into setting up the forum and uploading all my watch information gone without so much as a single word from proboards ?

Hi, Accutronitis. Deletions without notice are only done if a forum is in clear violation of the Terms of Service or Community Guidelines. For example, if the forum's sole purpose is to serve as a hub for offending content it's typically taken down without notice. This can also happen if another forum created by the same staff is pursuing discussion of the same content that ultimately caused their previous forum to be deleted. All ToS deletion appeals should be emailed to abuseteam@proboards.com as the staff of ProBoards Support do not issue warnings or deletions. All abuse-related issues fall under the jurisdiction of our abuse department.

So i put all that work into setting up my site and without warning and without tell me anything might be wrong with my forum proboards will just delete my forum without giving me a chance to correct or appeal what proboards believes is a violation and proboards won't even say why it took action If that is how proboards hosts a forum why should anyone ever use proboards to host a forum How is that in anyway fair to the people who put so much time and effort into creating a forum with proboards ?

If you're wondering why your forum was taken down then I suggest you take a read through of the TOS.

If you're wondering why your forum was taken down then I suggest you take a read through of the TOS. I have read though it many times and i certainly had no egregious violations of the TOS, it was all really boring stuff unless you had a interest in Bulova Accutron 214 watches like parts manuals, servicing info, repair videos, watch pictures and so on, i don't understand this at all ?

Do you not realize that I have access to the same information the abuse department does? You violated the TOS, and this isn't the first time either. I'm going to lock this thread now.
