As you are undoubtedly aware, the world is facing an unprecedented emergency with COVID-19 and the situation is rapidly evolving.
Recently there have been some discussions on this forum relating to this crisis, including some posts which contained misinformation. The health and safety of our employees, customers, and the public at large is our utmost priority. We strongly encourage you to follow the recommendations of experts in your area and around the world.
Relying on accurate information is paramount to successfully overcoming this global pandemic. We will not tolerate the propagation of misinformation on our platform which could result in serious consequences for the public at large. Further, on our Support Forum we will not tolerate information from non-authoritative sources.

At ProBoards, we are committed to continuing to provide our services without interruption. Our employees began working from home as of last week. We are exercising extreme caution to help contain the spread of this disease by practicing appropriate social distancing. Our staff will continue to be available as normal, and forums should experience no interruptions.
Online communities will prove crucial in the coming days and weeks as society introduces social distancing. Platforms such as ours will ensure continued community engagement in both a safe and responsible manner.
We have a difficult time ahead of all of us. If you are able to, please consider white-listing us if you use an ad-blocker, or subscribe to PB+.
