Well eZboards new "enhanced" services are just the old services without ads. But the "free" services are now getting very add cluttered.
Also, in there latest email update they have been stressing how they need to have so many paying customers to keep the free stuff free.
Also, a few other that I know have been telling me it's going to go pay.
A lot is supposition, but I give it less then 3 months before the free service is so cluttered with ads that it becomes unusable.
