Well, folks, I know I've barely begun, but the new TOS for ProBoards is out and it contains a clause I disagree with, so I'm terminating my membership per the "contract". That clause may have been there from the beginning, but I just noticed the issue in a re-read prompted by the recent update announcement. So I'm acting on my principles, something which goes a long way to letting me sleep at night. (Of course, my principles are not yours. Get your own weird ways of thinking! ) You are mostly great people: friendly, cooperative, and helpful. There's a strong sense of community that I hope continues as the old ZSG folks continue to discover the new site, and as more folks hear about the the new ZSG so ably run by Dimitroff. (A belated ironic welcome to the reincarnations of Dartz and Dragunov!) Best regards for your futures, folks. As a toast, I raise one of those ZSG snorkshakes that JeniSnork made famous: "To all of us!" --NatVac

You have to leave? Curses... Damn it Natvac, if only you had contacted us earlier about this. Well, best of luck to you, seriously bad to see you leave. One modding god gone...What are we going to do now? Who's going to fix our countless CTDs? Who's going to explain complicated scripts?
Natvac, you will be missed.

NatVac > Proboard
Grab your guns and the vodka stash, we're moving!
Of course, i'll stick with my tradition of not doing squat since the original ZSG went down, so i'll just let you guys handle the transition. Link me to the new camp when you get there.

Damn it Natvac, if only you had contacted us earlier about this.. He had. I was told yesterday. I wasn't going to argue, obviously, since his claim is perfectly legit and understandable. As for moving, feel free to. But to save us the trouble, I would like to advocate the fact that there are no doubt other Stalker boards that NatVac visits where he can be contacted. Not to mention that given his low visit and posting frequency, he can easily do it as a guest on this forum instead of registering and being subject to Proboards' TOS (which, I have to add once more, are hardly enforced, provided we don't go out of our way to conquer the internet).

Oh man, this sure sucks. Do you mind saying what you disagree with in the TOS?

Well, folks, I know I've barely begun, but the new TOS for ProBoards is out and it contains a clause I disagree with, so I'm terminating my membership per the "contract". Unfortunately, I find myself in the same situation as NatVac regarding the updated ProBoards TOS, hence why I've made very few posts over the past 2 days. I've spent the dime deciding on what course of action to take. This morning, I read of one point, in discussions about the updated TOS that releates to adblockers. Having no adblockers is acceptable. Using adblockers is not. support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=support&action=display&thread=353230relevant post in the thread: support.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=support&thread=353230&post=3994925As Dimi knows, from Cbox discussions, I do not and have never seen any ads on ZSG. By default; Kaspersky Internet Security; the anti-virus/firewall suite I use blocks them. As I fully support such a software product, I cannot and will not agree to the anti-adblock portions of the updated TOS. I second NatVac's sentiments about the members on this forum, although I , atleast, don't have need of offfering a belated welcome to Dartz or Dragunov, having actively participated in their respective welcome threads.

What the?
You're going to let TOS send you away?
Come on, people! Nobody ever reads the TOS! What in the blazes!

Let 'em go.
Genuine Snorkshake on the ZSG has always, and will always, make itself.
All we have ever needed was a bottle, bucket, and mop.

As far as I'm concerned.
FUCK their TOS.
I'll not terminate my account - but I will not be held responsible for use of the most widely used and supported web browser that, by default, has ad block enabled.
If they want to prohibit such "plug-ins," they can take it up with the developers of such software, and humbly request that such extensions be disabled by default - not the other way around . . . and in regards to M$ and IE8, I'm sure they'll recieve a nice "go fuck off" for their troubles.
So, that being said, I'll be around until one of their minions happens to notice and decides to boot me.

Have I missed something? What the fuck is the TOS? And have we somehow made it mad?
