ProBoards ForumsReviews of proboards.com

I love Proboards. They sure beat these boring, lame sites like reddit and discord imo. Why? Because they don't harvest your data like the rest of these clowns. You also get to freely CUSTOMIZE your form like you want!!! Does reddit or discord do that? No! You get a stupid avatar that looks how they want it to look. I also love the nostalgia of Proboard forums... Early 2000s I made my first forum and it's addicting because they are so much fun to edit and customize. It feels more like a tight knit community too.... Not just random people, too many people, on one forum posting left and right and your posts get buried or forgotten about on Reddit. I'm on Reddit but it's nothing like having a Proboards forum. You can make your own awards on PB, put in all these cool plug ins! I love it. I'm happy as hell with my PB forum. I don't understand all the crappy reviews - if you don't like PB then GTFO and go back on boring reddit or discord then.

They allow spam advertising. I went to activate my account and right on that page was spammy fake ads with activation buttons asking for my credit card details. Dreadful. This is a clunky and awful forum service, how is it allowed to exist?

These guys are a scam. When i was using them i had a set of rules that they wanted me to abide by. If we don't they will take us down.

I'm running a Pro boards forum which is doing well. I have over 100 members and counting. I've had good support with questions answered on the Pro boards support forum. I've had some spam posts so I've created a holding area where new members must be approved to join, which has stopped the spam posts. I would recommend the forum and can't understand why so many negative comments? I've changed the colours and fonts to my liking and designed something I'm proudly of. Consisting this is free to use and with some effort in understanding how to setup a forum, it's a good platform for users to use. I've also noticed a sudden jump up the search rankings for some reason. Maybe age and the amount of content helps. I recommend.

I couldn't even sign up. They say my e-mail address is not valid. I strongly suspect they have intentionally blocked my e-mail service, because it has special features to both stop unwanted spam and track how the spammer got your address, while still allowing legitimate e-mail through. Several companies that are mining for addresses do this to my service. So, my review is don't trust ProBoards. If they won't allow people to sign up with an e-mail service that blocks unwanted spam, there must be a reason. By the way, trustpilot does the same thing. So watch out and don't give them your actual e-mail address. It's a pretty good bet they are selling everyone's information. Otherwise, they wouldn't care if you use a spam blocking / origin tracking service.

My only problem is that I got on the Bugera forum, took the time to get set up, make my introduction of myself and then posted. THEN, I realized that NOBODY had posted on it for several years! Needless to say, I haven't gotten any reaction to my posts. I think it has crapped out, so why is it still even on the Internet?

Recently the forum I am on has been plagued with spammers, No matter how much the membership complins about the spamming, nothing is done. There are instructions as to deleting a member(spammer) and also delete their poste or prevent the posts from showing up on the site. However the instructions do not work as I have attempted to delete several spammers with no success. And it is impossible to get in touch with the site Administrators unless you wish to make a payment.

Worse cybersecurity procedure about safety of our account and no way to contact support if your IP got flaged by error. No email, nothing! You lose everything when your account got hacked and no one would tell you if your account got hacked. We are scare now about leaked data or ransomware could be spread over their website. Nothing will you protect.
