Proboards finally got back to my email with the response:
We must insist that you remove the images in the time frame we have given you. We do not allow such images to be posted per our policies.
Apparently it's a photo issue. If I have the time frame correct, that gives me till 6:30pm forum time tomorrow (May 4th, 2011).
I know how important photos are. I know that we could always request photos from members individually via PM, but it would become tedious and time consuming, and it also makes it hard to verify the legitimacy of people's experiences.
In order to prevent the vast content here of being shut down, I may have no choice but to remove the photos. All of those who have posted photos, be sure to back them up.
We may have to re-allocate. I will consult with moderators and veteran members on the matter and will begin the migration when things have been all figured out.
I greatly apologize for the inconvenience, I guess this is a consequence of having an entirely non-commercial forum. I thought by not "owning" this site I could add legitimacy to the forum...and I never believed photos of surgically altered penises would be so objectionable to Proboards.

Oh, and to those who have uploaded photos with penises in them, please help me by removing them individually from your posts (you don't have to delete the actual text, just the pictures).
This will save me some time considering the vast number of photos on this site. I will try to save as many to my hard drive as possible.
In the event we have a new forum, we can always link to this forum for additional resources (like the large PMMA thread)

Yes please, so sorry about what's going on. If you don't mind it'll save me a lot of time since there are TONS of threads and posts to go through.
Be sure to have them all backed up on your hard drive. We're working on a new forum and we'll keep this forum around for all the content and posts.
Thanks

This situation should not discourage us at all. If anything it will strengthen our resolve. We made a move before from that defunct site and built a great one here. Now we may have to move on and build a better one yet, we may have to donate some money into but it will be worth it.
The forces of contradiction and injustice may have had a lot to do with this situation, but the truth will always be out there and we will be there to tell it!

LOL@EP too funny
@all Members
I've found a function in my control panel which allows me to delete ALL of the pictures on this forum with one click of a button. I will perform this feature by 12pm (or around noon), May 4th, 2011 - server time.
I hope this gives everyone time to back up photos if they don't already have it saved to their computer. I will try to save as many files as I can in the meantime, but I can't promise I'll have every single photo.
If I do not remove all of the photos that show penises by the evening, I risk having this forum shut down. Even though we will most likely be migrating to a new forum soon (I'll keep you all posted), we want this forum to remain accessible due to the vast information available within.

SO:
Is there a way to ask for more time? Tomorrow I am very busy at work, but Thursday is much more free and I could spend a couple hours backing things up.

@skatezy
I've requested time by asking for an additional 48 hours but can't promise we'll get it. Also, if they take too long to respond I may have no choice to remove all the photos... can't jeopardize losing the forum

I have been given till Friday 5:00pm Pacific Time to have all photos deemed "inappropriate by Proboards" removed. Please back up what you can.

I just tried saving a few more photos and apparently at least some (maybe all) have now been deleted.
