Because it's begging for flames. =P

And guys, Proboards ain't THAT bad. Are they as great as IF? No. But, they do pwn..

freewebspace, GeoCities, FortuneCity, Bravenet, Brinkster, Netfirms, 1AspHost, 100WebSpace...

Mostly because those sites would have your boards down in an instant if hosted there, due to bandwith limitations..sure, you could upgrade to paid plans, and Bravenet's..alright with bandwith. But..ehhhh.

And in meh opinion, phpBB boards. :ph34r: I've seen a few Proboards that're actually pretty good, so don't knock them so bad.

And one last thing..why compare forum software [Proboards, Invisionfree which uses IPBv1.3], and site hosts? :P

Well i just prefer invision, easier to control, also Invision don't have big ugly banner ads like pb's... i agree when you say some proboards look good, but you may aswell come to invision. :)

Some people pay money to get rid of those. :P And the ads have less to do with the Invision software, and more with the host. Invisionfree offers small, uninstrusive ads. Where as some hosts offer IPBv1.3 boards..with about 20+ ads. :ph34r:

It's all to pay the bills, but..still. Tis evil.

Mhmm. :yes:

And I think it's not right for us to allow members to flame competing services, especially without giving any true or real reasons. Saying 'Proboards suck' is a little uncalled for, especially since it isn't backed with any reasons, it just looks like unnecessary flaming. Even with reasons to back it up, I still think these kinds of polls are just begging for a flame war.

While they may be competitors, it's no reason to flame them. We should respect them as much as we respect IF, regardless of your preference and whether or not you use them.

Besides, it makes people look like mindless sheep who say other boards are bad just because everyone else does. :/

Even the topic title itself 'dumbest forum maker' is an insult. The poll is asking people to select who they think is the 'dumbest' - which implies stupidity[/color] rather than poor or bad service - forum provider.

Praising IF is one thing, disrespecting other services with no reason given is another and I think we should avoid it here on our official forums. ;) If you have a problem with another forum provider I'd suggest either taking your criticisms to the forum provider to help them improve or keep them to yourself. Anyone can badmouth but it's pointless and unnecessary.
