I have NO IDEA what "psychedelic insultment" is, but I'm clearly a victim of it!

Hey y'all, don't take these threats too seriously. Make sure the password to your email and PB accounts are secure (and they shouldn't be the same), and turn off guest posting, maybe registration if it's concerning to you.
These threats are generally made against the service as a whole, not an individual. PB has a lot of systems in place to help protect users, like Cloudflare. You've noticed that there have been slow loading forums and stuff, right? There's a good chance that whomever is posting these messages are DDOSing PB and causing this.
All you can do is ride it out — as long as your passwords are secure, you'll be fine and just mildly inconvenienced by the load issues.

Same person visited my forum, posting hate speech and a very bad image in my chatbox.
I've deleted the posts and banned the user from my cBox, but this person really needs to be stopped.
Was demanding the closure of the forum that the original poster linked.

I appreciate all the Proboards staff is doing to deal with this ongoing problem, as I know it must be a headache, but I'm wondering is there a less nefaroius sounding explanation I could post to my members until these threats are erradicated?

TLDR: A group of unkind folks have decided to protest that PB hosts a particular forum because they don't like them, so they're sending a bunch of requests to PB servers to create a traffic jam for all users as a way to pressure PB to remove the forum (which obviously they won't do since the forum is just minding its own business). PB is doing what it can to clear the jam, but it'll be slow driving for a while.
