I am a member of another ProBoard Forum and I was having problems logging on and saw this ProBoards name mentioned if having problems 'click here', I did, found out what the problem was, noticed all the Forums and this one and the Games Forum, liked what I saw and have been here ever since.

Same here, I liked the layout of it because it was what I most used to compared to some, but the best one I familiarized them with was yuku before it went to TT.

There are a couple of features that sets them apart though and that is being able to load an set image sized to your post and the plugins.

At yuku it was ALL about coding and coding and more coding until by the time I had my board set exactly the way I wanted it when they came with a new layout (I forget what they called it there, here they call it V6 but, at yuku they called it something else) I just grew absolutely tired of it all and left, came here, and viola.

woah, talk about a long time ago that I have to remember. Earlier the same year that I turned 13 (I'm 31, and will be turning 32 in May, to give reference), my brother got permission to use a web host to host his animated flash. Him, wanting to have a place for his users to talk on, created his first forum here after looking for forums he doesn't have to host, and found ProBoards!

After watching him fiddle around with the forum, and after I turned 13, he gave me permission to take over his forum. It was then that I decided to go and try creating my own forum here, and joined PBS shortly there after.

EDIT: Oh yeah, this was back in 2001 when I first joined PBS, and had created my first actual forum hosted here. Ignore my current account creation date, as immature kids tend to do stuff that they eventually will regret doing, and wouldn't know the consequences till after the fact.

It has been a long time but I think I Googled it. And no I cannot post what I searched because it has been awhile.

I swear, when I was young I found PB in v3/v4... but I didn't realize back then that this is the place the forum was hosted... I just knew that the owners only allowed participants 18+ at the time. (It was a psychic forum where the readers gave readings on the site and you can only receive a reading if you are 18+ or if you have parental consent if under 18.)

So, I kind of let it go... and the years past.

Then I stumbled upon ProBoards again a while later. Started my own forum in 2014.

It's still up, but I've since started my career and have shifted gears a bit; but I keep it up in case anyone wants to come and interact on it/read what's there, etc.

I hate to quote myself, but my answer remains the same.  I wanted to created a forum and used Google.

Edit:
Actually, at that time, I was probably still using Yahoo as my search engine.

Honestly, my reasoning was funny. I created my forum as a teenager in 2003.

My options were:
Conforums. I can't use them. They'll con me.
Hyperboards. I can't use them. I don't feel hyper.
Suddenlaunch. I can't use them. Too much pressure in their name.

Proboards. Hmmm. I like the sound of that. I'm going to have a professional forum and I'm going to be a pro. They must be the #1 forum pros.

I am glad you made a forum !! It's a nice community

I honestly don't remember. All I remember was I was a member to some Harry Potter role-play and they weren't friendly on accepting new members or even role-playing with them so I went off and made my own Harry Potter role-play.

I want to say I found out about Proboards in some group on Myspace. (But I could be wrong about this.)
Or it may have been a google search. No, idea. It's been too long.

[HoudiniDerek]

Pretty sure it was an online search.

I had just gotten a computer with internet access and I googled 'Harry Potter RP' and found a ProBoards role playing forum titled Our Hogwarts. If you remember that site then you've been here a long time.
