I've had a couple of complaints about ProBoards. There's nothing wrong with this board that I can see. I've seen some scripting that's caused some concern, but it's the same script you see for any pay-per-click advertising.
Please note that Google has a financial incentive to block sites that do not use Google Ads.
I do not own ProBoards and can't change its code. I set up this one board and that's it. If a problem develops, I'll move the board. I hope you believe me when I tell you that I went through a dozen boards before picking this one.
If you want to block banner ads, etc.; try the newest Opera browser. I'm using it now and it does a pretty good job. It's interesting to note that their "Fraud and Malware Protection" does *not* attempt to block my site. Neither does Norton 360.

I really love their take on mouse gestures too, didn't like them before as I have a 5 button mouse and I found it annoying to accidently trigger a gesture, It helps you learn the gestures to the point where you can do it faster than their visual aid can popup. As well as their website source code viewer/editor where whatever changes you make can be seen in a webpage when you click Apply, without having to save it or upload the code.

I've been an Opera fan since it release. I quit using it for a couple of years because it just quit supporting Java and some Flash formats. That's becoming quite a bit of the web these days.
Opera was the original tabbed browser and that's what I liked best about it. In fact, if you look a the user friendly features of FireFox, you'll see that they all got their start in Opera.
