So ez, or is it just too ez?

Advantages: Easy to use, Passport style universal login. Many features.
Disadvantages: Expensive, lack of control

...are likely not one of ezboard.com 's target audience. The appeal of the name is rather lost if you don't pronounce your z's the American way (zee). Don't let that put you off though... ezBoard is an easy to use, reliable forum system, based around a large friendly community. Sure it has not yet gained widespread appeal in Europe, but I'm sure that will slowly change. Daily, the number of British and European communities grow, while there are boards ...

So what is ezBoard? Well, it is a forum or messageboard system that is extremely easy to set up, and customise. In addition the framework of the board is hosted independantly by ezBoard, which makes it much more suitable to beginners, unlike its chief rival phpBB, which necesitates a reasonable amount of technical know how and initial investment.

Most users are introduced to ezBoard by joining currently existing communities. ... more

Ezboard are appalling

Advantages: Erm..... nope can't think of one
Disadvantages: Where do you want me to start?

Ezboard began with promise. You could do quite a lot with limited knowledge. It didn't cost a fortune to get rid of adverts, but even then they weren't exactly a problem and most people could also take out their own support to ensure they could surf around without having to worry about adverts - on any Ezboard. And then along came 2004. And the founder went. Apparently still giving help and advice but no longer in control. No - they had a new CEO ...
...to go wrong! Now I wont claim Ezboard before them was perfect. It did have its own problems - but you would expect that with just about any online system no matter how large or small. But the problems at Ezboard began to mount, and then in May 2005, most boards lost data due to a huge Data loss situation. As claimed by Ezboard a hack - but never proven to be that. We lost huge amounts of our board, and members ran! This was the straw that broke ...

EZBoard

Advantages: Great and easy to use
Disadvantages: -

Ezboard.com ; I use EZboard because I like their customizable options and the fact that they are easy to use and their boards are easy to customize and to tinker with the options. There are two options - a free version and a paying version. Free Version ------------- You get most of the features of EZboard but have pop ups and banner ads over the screen. This is suitable for most however some dislike the fact that swear words are censored. The ...
...pay for and everything is unlocked. You can have the filters off and all the extra customizable options unlocked. Also there are no banner ads or pop ups anywhere. So all in all this is a great package to get the Gold. I have purchased Gold and it is so much better to use than the free vesrion because I do not have to continually close pop ups and evade banner ads. But the free version is really well made too and is easy to use. So I must givemy ...

Victims Against Scams Board at Ezgroup

Advantages: Companies are polled to see which ones are paying or not. Warnings are posted.You can remain annonymous. VAS will research Companies for you.
Disadvantages: none

VAS - "Victims Against Scams" hosted at Ezboard was originally started to help a group of people who lost their money to a 'scam'.The scam Company claimed they would make between 10-100% profit per month.The people considered they were investing in their Future in what they saw as a Stock situation. The Company completely emptied the investers accounts and told lie after lie until a few of the Investors decided to fight back and report the Company ...
...and this was when more people came forward to report their losses.(They were too frightened before because of misconceptions regarding Government interference). More and more Companies started showing up online and this is when the forum called "VAS" was created. We are a voluntary group of dedicated people doing our 'bit' to help others and to make the Internet a safer place to be. We are not attorney's and have never claimed to be.We go directly ...

Im an amature web designer myself and have create various sites and am training to be a professional web site designer. All webmasters need feedback on their visitors and with personal sites especially ezboard.com's forums allow you do obtain exactly that in a creative easy customisable and stylish way.

...a log-out page insert HTML control which of your mamber get access to which forums, allow you to post images flash HTML and other emoticons in the posts. The board itself allows you to insert HTML to customise the way the overall forum will operate. The only disadvantage of using ezboards.com's free service is the fact that there are pop-ups and banner adds apprearing on the forum pages. However any1 can put up with a few banners here or there, ...

Best avoided if you know what you are doing

Advantages: Easy to set up, little management required
Disadvantages: Very expensive if you have a clue, limited message storage, no attachments, iffy security, hide between ToU when things go wrong

Initially set up by someone with little or no knowledge of message board systems - their target clients - we found the limitations of ezboard overwhelming: limited message storage, no attachments, very expensive*, prone to being down, etc. The straw that broke the camel's back was when we lost over a year's messages in May 2005 when they claimed they were hacked. The alleged hacker also somehow managed to delete all the backups - hardly confidence ...
...to ezboard's lax security. After a month's false promises, ezboard eventually hid behind their Terms of Use which say the 'service' is provided "as-is" so tough! They also refused to repay the sums our members had put into our community chest and which we hadn't used. We've since moved to a self-hosted vBulletin board which is about as comparable with ezboard as the Japanese bullet trains are to Stephenson's Rocket... Check the Wikipedia entries ...
