OK, if anyone is looking, here's kinda what to expect here, or at least what I had in mind:
This is not an attempt to compete with any other board. It's just an extra thing for folks who might want something a little bit extra and a little bit different.
There will be no moderators, except for me, the Admin. There will be no sponsors. There will be no fees, but I will gladly except donations because I'm a cheap bastard who needs money for stuff I want. But it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to run a free Proboards site as long as it doesn't get too out of hand.
There will be very little moderating here. My basic philosophy on running a board is this: There's a place for just about anything here. I will rarely delete stuff, except for maybe porn, anything blatantly illegal or violent threats. But I might move something to a more appropriate spot. When I get sick of seeing something that I don't really want to see on the rest of the board, like particularly stupid pissing contests, nagging, or excessively bad taste I stick it somewhere else, where anyone who really wants to see it can knock themselves out.
Otherwise, the only real guideline here is the Proboards Terms Of Service agreement, which I didn't write, and often ignore, unless I get reported for something. There's a link at the very bottom of the page. Take gander at it. It basically states that you should post nothing that wouldn't be appropriate viewing for anyone under 13, but if you request anything more specific than that they will give you the runaround and avoid answering you, because all they really want to do is legally cover their own ass. I know because I've gone through it with them several times when idiots reported something totally stupid.
It is really hard to get banned from this site, but the number one way would be to be that guy. Don't complain to Proboards without coming to me first. I'm a reasonable guy. Don't be an ass and intentionally go out of your way to make this board unpleasant, and we'll be groovy.
Most importantly, understand this:
THIS BOARD AIN'T FOR EVERYBODY. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE HERE, IT'S NOT FOR YOU.
You will see the F-word here. You will see references to human anatomy that might make some people uncomfortable. You might even glimpse a nipple or two, or a butt crack, if someone chooses to take their chances with the Proboards TOS. You might even accidentally have some fun or see something that makes you laugh.
And don't bother if you can't make fun of yourself, or your school or team of choice once in a while.

There are probably some annoying banner ads at the top through Proboards, but my pop-up blocker blocks them, so I never see them. But I don't think they ever have anything as annoying as some of those BF ads.

You know, I came up with Bearpoop before I knew there was a Bearscoop. Now it's much funnier.

I have an account at the other site, but I never post - just read it for info. Might give it a try over here since the site's brand new. Go easy on me.

Man, I'm so sick of not being able to do the most basic functions at BF, like finding my own gotdamn posts and doing a simple search. I wish we could get a few peeps posting in here to make it interesting.
