Upon inspection of the Proboards Terms of Service, we have discovered that writing in any language other than English is a violation of these terms. As a result of this, unfortunately we have to remove any non-english posts (I think occasional phrases such as 'Excuse moi?' etc. are acceptable though) and ask that members speak only in English from this point onwards. I hope that none of you will be upset or offended if any of your posts dissapear over the next few days. It isn't an attack on you native language, it's just part of the law that Proboards have to adhere to. We appologise for having to do this. Thankyou.

Yes, while we may be able to read what you are posting if it is in a non-english language, Proboards webmasters most likely wish to avoid a "Pandora's box" (where you let one thing go and the rest must follow). Along the lines of not knowing what others are saying brings a security threat to the Proboards webmasters. The occasional standard greeting or something simple is alright, but nothing complex.
Proboards, which is in California of the United States, has to observe some California law about languages. I don't know what it is. Apparently it is not just a Proboards's rule, it is law.
Also added into Proboards rules is that you may not write in binary code.

Right. Deleting all the non-English is going to be a pain. So could everybody please do me a [huge[/i] favour and PM me a link to the page if you find posts with Non-English? Thanks muchly, everybody!

why dont you just tell everybody who wrote in foreign languages to delete their posts that have foreign stuff init?
That would be logical Thanks, Kris. Gold stars! But not everybody who wrote in a foreign language is still around so please, if you see any, anybody, tell me!
Those numbers, as numbers and not binary code, are allowed
They're allowed but frowned upon as they burn the eyes. Like txt spk.

thanks. i was going to go through that but I am currently combing my posts *lol* If you can point out those threads so we can delete the other posted messages that weren't made by you but the other person, that'd be great.
guess my plans to recap episodes will have to be put on hold.
