What are SMF Terms of Service?

[mystyrain2000]

I have been looking through all info on SMF of their terms of service and what is allowed and isn't but can't find anything on this. Is adult content allowed? or is it a violation of Term of Service like pro boards has?

There is no restriction for using SMF for adult boards, however, depending upon exactly what you are using it for, some may opt to not offer support if they find your board offensive to them.

Typically warez or other forms of accessible illegal or pirated downloads or how to download them.

It's an rpg style board I had on proboards using Exalted Chars from White wolf and was deemed to adult that it was taken offline without notice ...so am looking around and checking out other boards but just couldn't find the TOS for this one and thank you both for letting me know

Basically, you have to make sure your host is OK with the content you are going to host. SMF itself has no restrictions on content.

If it was taken offline, was it your host that did it? If so, you will need to check the host's TOS, or seek out a new host that will allow adult material.

edit-  Ahh, JB beat me to it. -

If you're fairly competent in running a server, then check out Linode for hosting. If not, then check out a fully managed solution with GC Webhosting.
