If I give you a quarter for free...clam up about the dirt on it.
The link showed up on the first page of google when searching for the ProBoards API. I've read most, if not all, of the comments and although some of the comments appear as valid gripes without merit. Most of the comments appear to be from a certain centric perspective (I, me, mine, wah!). Proboard owners own and ought to operate their world any way they wish (even if it hurts our feelings or destroys any of our expectations). Need I remind that probably most of the comments on Trust Pilot against Proboards are not customers of Proboards (until they can post a valid receipt that some quid pro quo has occurred). Just as if you were to visit my house, you WOULD take your shoes off when I ask you (or you will just leave), as an example (*why am I suddenly envisioning a female?)....Anyway, yes Proboards has some odd behaviors such as the sudden visitors I see when I log in as admin (but when anonymous, it's a desert), this though is just an assessment made for the time, I could be wrong about any devious manipulative covert or clandestine plottings. And yes, when I tried to incorporate various chat software with proboards, it failed (that's my wah!). ****Now let's hear the positive news about ProBoards: 1.) It's free (if you can build yourself a better chat server, then DO IT! nothing in mind? Enough said.) 2.) I noticed that when googling "Springfield Ohio Chat" that Proboards brings up my page on the top of the first page of results. For any of us not professional at SEO, that is an accomplishment. 3.) It's free (if we don't like it, kick it to the curb. it doesn't mean it was bad.................IT JUST MEANS IT DIDN'T WORK FOR YOU OR YOU OR YOU OR .....YOU). 4.) Although I was at one time kind of miffed a few years back (they took my administrative privileges down to a glorified user or sub-admin level), but in all honesty I break a LOT of stuff and seeing as how it's been years without full admin of the FREE proboards account, it's used to the capacity that is probably best (for me....and maybe you if you are on my proboard site at the time I press the red button.). amen
