Terms and Conditions of Use

Before we begin, I'd like to thank you for using (or considering) ProphpBB to host your forum. While nobody wants to read a bunch of legal jargon, it's important to know the terms and conditions we require you to abide by while using our service. These terms of use apply to all aspects of our service - including (but not limited to) registering at, posting to, or creating a free forum.

Registration and Operation

You agree not to register or operate your forum in an illegal, immoral, unethical, or otherwise objectionable manner. This includes discussing (or allowing discussion of) things such as warez, hacking, pornography, excessive cursing, harassing, or posting copyrighted material. This means you cannot offer, or facilite the downloads of copyright material such as video games, movies, songs or software. We do not allow poker or gambling related content. This is not all-inclusive, ProPhpBB staff may at anytime use discretion when determining whether to take action.

Inactivity and Abandonment

We occasionally purge inactive forums. Forums that appear abandoned, without any posts over the past 30 days, will be removed. Should you have a forum you wish to keep open, and doesn't have much activity, please make sure you make at least 1 post per month.

No Spam

We don't like spam! Any forum created for the sole purpose of spamming will be promptly removed.

Activation Timeout

If you do not activate your forum within three (3) days of registering, it will be removed and available to re-register.

Publicly Viewable Content

You agree to maintain at least 70% of your content as publicly viewable. Guests and bots must be able to read majority of your forums, threads, and posts - but of course you're welcome to restrict registrations as you see fit.

Purpose and Intent

You agree not to use ProphpBB's hosting service with the intent to harass, slander or otherwise spread negative information (true or not) about another website or forum. Regardless of legality, we are not a venue for this type of behavior.

Language Support

We currently only provide support for English language forums. You're welcome to create a forum in another language, however we will not be able to assist with additional features (such as top level domain hosting) etc. Should you have a issue setting up your forum or managing it, you're on your own. This may change in the future, but it's not likely.

Advertising

we reserve the right to display advertising on your forum. We promise never to intentionally display anything generally accepted as being vulgar or profane. We will respect your domain as if it were our own and will not tarnish a forum because of objectionable advertising. NOTE: You may not put Google Adsense or any other form of javascript based advertising on your forum.

Right to Modification of These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms of use at any time. You, by continued use of our service, are responsibe for regularly reviewing said terms to ensure you're in compliance.
