About Coolboard
Message boards are a great way to make your web site more active
with new and interesting discussions posted every day. Strong
discussions not only keep your current users coming back but also
help attract new users. Message boards are also a lot of fun! You
can get to know your users better and share information, ideas and
experiences.
Coolboard.com is a leading provider of free web-based discussion
services with many unique features to make creating a lively
discussion easy.
All message boards are hosted and maintained by Coolboard, so
no software downloads or installation is required. You also
don't have to worry about bugs, or upgrades. It takes less
than 5 minutes to create your boards.
Message boards can be customized to look just like your web
site, with your own graphics, backgrounds, fonts and even
navigation.
Moderating a board is also simple. You can screen messages
before they're posted, delete posts, and even ban users you
don't like.
Your users will also love Coolboard. It's easy to use and
allows users to really express themselves with features like
HTML messages, mood icons and more!

Building a More Active Message Board
With Coolboard, you never need to worry that your message board
will sit unused with only a handful of messages.
Coolboard's unique community sharing system allows you to share
messages with message boards on other related sites.
While each site can both customize and moderate their own board,
all boards in the same shared community can benefit by sharing
messages posted from any site in the community
You'll be able to draw more users because your boards will
always be active.
Take a look at a few examples of message boards that are using
the Coolboard community sharing system.
