There is no way to have an accessible forum then? Or do most people not make forums so nobody knows?

Also the avatar builder is not accessible but I believe I found a way to disable it. If I found one I think I could put an accessible avatar builder and its place but can't find one. It also lacks accessibility based plug-ins such as the ability to block the keyword but you don't want to read about war the ability to make sure that inaccessible photos and videos don't post and instead an error message will be provided for corrections. It has a plug-in where you can create tool tips for various acronyms, but haven't tried it so I'm not sure if that is accessible. But other than that plug-in thing I can do everything else on proboards including changing the colors. They have an addition you can make where a user can also create their own theme instead of using the theme that you picked for the forum. You own the data and can transfer it to another service at any time, but the website has global moderators that can see everything in your forum and give you warnings or shut it down if it violates their community standards. I don't plan to violate any community standards but if it turns out like Facebook where the community standards are enforced in consistently that might be a problem.

I do not want something like discourse where I have to do a lot of work to set it up. So have I found the best option or should I do something else? If I have found the best option, who would be willing to petition proboards with me to make the  x accessible?
