Here we go again. I really have to wonder what's so wrong with this forum that people have to go and create their own in a very futile attempt to move people over to their forum.

By the way, you misspelled proboards.

The only reason i'm doing this is to get people from here and golden-road.net and buzzerblog.com and put it all together so you don't need a million usernames and passwords

Trust me. It's not going to work. No one has any incentive to move from their current forum. If your only reason for doing this is to get people from these forums to use only one username and password, then you should be looking into something like OpenID, but that won't work unless Proboards starts using OpenID, which is also unlikely. On top of that, you have different forum architecture: Proboards uses proprietary software and GR uses SMF; these are not compatible with each other, so even if Proboards did have OpenID, there's no guarantee that SMF will recognize it.

BuzzerBlog doesn't even have a centralized forum.

I totally agree with GSK on this, if people don't want a million usernames and passwords they chose the same for the three forums you mentioned. Moreover, web browsers can keep the passwords for you on your computer so the password problem that you are talking about isn't a real problem.

Honestly, I don't believe that you have created this forum in order to make people's lives easier but simply because you wanted to have your own forum and to have your community with members from other forums.

I have visited the link you posted and I noticed that there is a "Fan Games" section with an audition process... I don't know where did that idea comes from ! 

I don't think that members of the Millionaire Fans community will leave here for a forum which seems to be a copycat of this one.

So you basically want people to leave this forum (and others like it) and sign up for your forum? Thank you so much for your contribution to this community.

I'm fine with people advertising their own websites and projects on these boards, but when you ask people to leave this community for another, you're crossing the line.
