These Pop-Ups are getting annoying

It's okay for ezboard to use these, we don't want to lose Entmoot, but these are seriously getting annyoing. This is a large community, and I think the admins should consider CSC. Just my two cents.

You know... you can get rid of the ads by getting a CSC user account yourself.

... the pressure for me to write my own BB mounts.

I think I'll get CSC myself sometime. If I get too annoyed.

Yeah we've been wondering what to do.

We can do the easy thing and buy CSC, since there seems to be little future in the free version. If we bought the Gold version it would guarantee no ads for all visitors.

Or... we can opt for UBB or something similar. Anyone know of any way to transfer an ezboard to UBB?

I am open to suggestions...

2 Popups this morning when I loaded up my conspiracies board.

I think I'm gonna consider CSC for myself. I'm not sure if I should just make my account CSC, or if I should make my board CSC, cuz then I get a CSC account. Whatever.

We're considering it for the board, but it's a bit expensive.

There are other free boards available out there...

The problem is backing up this one if you want to move; and of course putting the posts themselves back on the other board isn't a simple thing.

I've had to "suck" a board once with TeleportPro for someone... not beautiful to see... it worked for most of it. But it wasn't made to transfer to another board; one could put that backup on it's own free web space though, with some modifications...

Too bad that the free version isn't gonna last...
From what they've been saying these last few weeks, it's very probable it's going away...

(personally, i don't care much about the pop-ups...)

Ok, less whining and more action. Support the boards you proudly use and claim title in. Become a member already!!

People have build good and nice boards on EZBoard, especially since it was free.

Now that these boards have grown in this free environment, it wouldn't be quite fair to demand (and it seems it will turn out that way) payment for that board...
... getting people attached to something they got for free, and then asking money later to keep getting it... that's how the drug pushers work...

Calling the boards "communities" at some point in the evolution of EZBoard was a nice tactical move...


Call this whining if you want; if they removed the free board option (with pop-ups, say), it still would be a dirty move from EZBoard.


A board is comprised of people who come to it; the location is ultimately immaterial: it can be EZBoard, or it could be elsewhere, depending on its creator(s) and/or its members.


To give ben options, here's another free board furnisher: www.coolboard.com/index.cfm

Ok it looks like we are getting this CSC thing, so the popups and all other ads will disappear from Entmoot for 6 months once it is paid for. Of course unless you are a CSC member yourself the ads will continue to be shown at other boards. (But why would you visit other boards? )

So that gives us a lot more time to think about other options, and figuring out some way to eventually move the board, should we choose to do that.

They should offer the big boards (Like this) free CSC programs.

It's like asking a farmer not to milk his/her healthiest cow...

Well that would defeat the purpose wouldn't it?

I don't think any free service is going to cut it, since there's no guarantee they won't start charging either. I think the only move we would make is to a UBB or something similar on our own server.

We just made the purchase, so the CSC status should come within 2 business days. Oops, just realized today is Friday... so I guess it'll be next week that the ads will disappear.

too bad for my board

Cool...the CSC gold kicked in!

Yeah, notice no more ads

...nothin is for nothin....poor English but a great life lesson. EZ boards have been great to all of us. With economics being what they are, they are asking very little in return for access. I still say it's a great way to keep things going.

I'm still not sure whether I should get the cheap CSC for my board, or just get a member CSC. My board isn't worthy enough for gold CSC.

Thanks Mrs. Milder!

Greg, it's not worth it
