Why does this even exist?

Heads-up—ProBoards does not allow people to omit their gender or choose a gender other than Male or Female. This host may not be good for our non-binary/genderqueer members.

Yeah, I ended up hiding it. That was less because of me, of course, and more for other people who don’t feel comfortable choosing either of the options. It sucks that there aren’t other forum hosts out there that fit the specific needs of the board, beyond self-hosting (I *do* have webspace/money to afford another domain), so should it come to that, I’d gladly offer.

That makes a lot of sense, considering the amount of censorship other boards institute (ie, Zetaboards and Boardhost), regardless of the age limit you’ve set. I’ve just decided to disable gender appearing for now - at least it’s not *mandatory* to show it after you’ve signed up! I’m sorry if I came across as irritable/harsh about it; that really wasn’t my intent!
