"BOARD" is a noun. If you reduced it to a pronoun it would, most likely, be it (depends on usage in the sentence). Proper nouns are distinguished from COMMON nouns in that they name something specific and, duh, begin with a capital letter.
Common noun: "The dog is cute." Proper noun: "Snoopy is cute."
Common noun: "Someone hit me with a board the other day." Proper noun: "I like to write on the JP.com Board!"
"Board," by any stretch of the imagination isn't a pronoun. If you can get a definite article "the" in front, you have a NOUN! The board. (Quoting Message by ronhartsell from Sunday, October 26, 2008 11:10:26 AM)

Got my answer already, Old Man! HAAAAAAA!
(wait...I take that back. The Board is caps, no doubt. However, if you think it is a "geographical place"...you are going nutters! LOL!!! Tell you what, I'll buy you an all-expense paid ticket to The Board and treat you to the best lobster dinner you ever had...see you there!)
