We may be moving to a new forum host soon. This will require you all to make new accounts in the other forums. The reason for the move: The other host/software allows for much more customizability No ads A less restricting ToS The ability to link a wiki directly to the forums The ability to use automated programs (bots) to monitor the forum.

Just to give you guys a hit to the limitations of proboards ToS:
To sum it up, they can steal any information they want from the board. Sell, advertise, or distrubte that information without Greenwolfs permission. They also hold no responsibility for lost data, but do not give you the ability to back it up yourself.
All-in-all: ProBoards sucks.

But not the last part. Bots to control the forum? That rarely ends well... how can I troll and amuse myself others if the bots believe I'm a criminal and ban me? I still voted yes though.

Not to control the forums, to monitor the forums. The bot would basically perform very low-level functions, such as monitoring and recording user actions, identifying and removing ad.fly links, etc...
