As for judging what information is "disparaging or incorrect", I lean toward trusting the warning from McAfee Internet Security. They've done more research on scam sites than I have.
I pay them good money to subscribe to the service and provide some protection.

It is NOT McAfee!! It is a PHONY pop up alert!! Do not click on it.

@novamc1 My McAfee alerted me as well. I am on the proboards 2x a day and most of the time I don't get that alert. I'm wondering if there is an issue with McAfee? I am not sure what to think...

I have no interest in signing onto another board. I like this one and the posters here. But if it closes I'm done. Might be a good thing ,actually, more time to read my books and play with my dog during my downtime.

I didn't click on the McAfee pop-up. It appeared immediately after i logged into the site. I clicked out of the screen immediately after it popped up.
I suspect maybe hackers are collecting personal log-in data and keeping it for reasons I wouldn't approve of. Maybe the McAfee warning is legitimate.
Nevertheless, I'm staying away from the site altogether.

Thanks @geezerette
I thought I did that but some posters here, who also post over there, say they can still see me over there...?

Yes, I can still see your name there. I think you have 5 posts from sometime in October.
Perhaps you didn't click "Save Changes"? I don't know if you need to do that when deleting your account. Others have deleted their accounts.
(However, your posts will remain.)

The McAfee pop up is fake, but the ProBoards group is legit. The admins have done a lot to get a site up and running very well, in a very short time. Making false accusations isn't very kind.
