I'm guessing you were going to move the board over there, huh?

Yeah, I was highly considering iHost4u, after all I already post on other communities, might as well make it my way to pay the domain, by making posts in their community but I think it is too risky if I get sick, cut from internet access, virus or anything else taht gets in the way. I thinK i rather pay for a year and forget about it till next year. Some plan like that.

I want to buy us a domain when I get some income. I even would like to get IPB license. X3
But that is at least a year away.

Bi bella is one of our allies, I requested their affiliation because I thought it would be good to have an outlet into a veriety of things, since we are a general community. Their staff always seemed friendly and respectful.

During my last patrol on active communities, I discovered that going to the address of the BiBella community shows a Proboards announcement that says:

Proboards wrote:

Account Suspended
In accordance with Section 25(a) of the ProBoards Terms of Service, this forum has been taken offline.
ERROR CODE: 1003

Since that explains little. I browsed through their ToS to see what the 25(a) states. Here it is:

Proboard's ToS - http://www.proboards.com/tos
wrote:

25. TERMINATION
a) By ProBoards

WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, PROBOARDS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO, IN PROBOARDS' SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY USE OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICES TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON AT ALL, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR ANY BREACH OR SUSPECTED BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION.

That is just as ambiguous. So they could be clossed for no reason at all. Since they chosen that clausule and not another it puzzles greatly, for the pacific, trusting nature that IMHO characterised said forums. It fills me with sadness.

There is though, a more positive explanation, and that is that the boards moved a few months ago to a different host, thus proboards closed down since it wasn't being used. This is, of course, mere speculation. I don't know what happened to them. I would like to know.

The truth is taht my first reaction was anger against proboards, because it sounded to me like they just destroyed a beautiful and alive community for no reason... but then i realised I haven't been around the netz for a while, so I can't really know for sure what is going on with them.

So if any of you have any information regarding this, I'd like to listen to it. If it is something that is not supposed to be said openly you are free to PM me or use the contact form... If BiBella is still around with this or another name, it would please to re-arrange an affiliation.

I'm prunning the inactive forums from our affiliate list. Seems that during this past three months a lot has been going on with our allies. I feel bad I couldn't be around to learn more details with them all.


INACTIVE:
Drawing Board - Deserted. We still up there, but broken images suggest no return.
BiBella - No working url. Surprised to learn. Down for now.
Irrelar - No working url. It was inactive for a good while.
Ihost4u - No working url. There was already a reset. Probably project dead altogether.
World Chillout - Deserted. Our button taken down. No reason to keep theirs.
Zelda Legion - Deserted. They live happily now within the ZeldaDungeon community.
Zelda Refuge - No working url. Admin took place down. I was advised.
Zelda Gamers - No working url. Too bad. I really liked this forum.
From The Heart - Deserted. I liked this site, it lasted very little. It has one of my original writtings. I feel I'd be unfair if I took them down, since we are their only affiliates and technically we're still there... but it has been a year now, and probably even the author has moved on since. (>.<)
David Carroll Music - Deleted account. Someone else got it. Therefore the music advertised is not Dumpy's anymore. No reason to keep the button up. XD



RENEGOTIATING:

Miss Forum - Took out our text or changed position. They used to have their affiliate in text in form of a pop up, now instead, I see buttons scroll at the bottom. They are a bit overprotective, so it may be the case they nowadays only affiliate with sites from their own members. I made a thread asking as a guest. i hope I can give you guys something conclusive in the next days.
Resolution: Mistake on my part. I'm using an outdated browser. Everything has been fine from begining.

Silence Speak Volume - Manteniance mode. Since its admin has been fairly active before, I'll concede benefit of doubt for some more weeks...
Still open and we still there, so for the time being they stay

Desert Lullaby - Changed url. I added them originally when the allies where only viewable by members. Thus, to respect their right to privacy, I need to reaffirm their permission before updating the url. I usually go with "contact me if it bothers you police", but DL have friends and I am a member there; so I think, since I can, it is best I ask first.

Advertise Hotspot - Changed url. I need to see if we-re still allies at their new domain.

Half Blood RPG - Deserted? Except someone posted within the RPG a few days ago. I like the RPG idea and I hope the place is actually is still going, even if slowly. Staff has been friendly to me and admin once was part of our forums, so from pal to pal, I hope to hear from them soon.
Off the list. Forum moved somewhere else, I couldn't follow to rejoin and ask for a renovation of affiliates

Nintendopolis - Manteinance mode. Either they found many troubles restoring that database they speak of, or they gave up on the forum! Due the admin being a member, I will try to contact him to learn more.
Taken down, website unavailable.

Chataddicts - Manteinance mode. Promising to be back...
They are back! (Time to renovate affiliations)

The inactive has been prunned right away. The renegotiating... well, I'll do my best to have a resolution within the month.

DELETED:
Miss Forum - The forum is an archive now.
Silence Speak Volume - Gone.
Desert Lullaby - I got the feeling they didn't want unnecessary exposure now so i didn't bring them back.
Advertise Hotspot - Plummeted down, besides they got rid of the affiliation area anyway.
