I was going to post this in the ezboard forums, but you've cunningly gone and barred everyone except the admins from it, without asking us users what we think of it! Quite frankly, I am disgusted by this behaviour.
I don't find the ads to be a problem and I love ezboard. It's a lovely small company (only 15 members of staff) which has really targeted the general public and given it an excellent tool for creating message boards. UBB boards look ugly and they are run by a huge company. And they won't let us put html in our sigs. We should have been asked before this took place.
Tell you what, come down to my board (click
here), where I've started a poll in my off-topic section asking whether or not you like the move.
This will be the first and last post I ever make here. For me, it's ezboard or nothing. And if nobody else agrees with me, I guess this is goodbye forever. Farewell to everyone with whom I made friends on the Oddworld ezboard.
