Admin have disappeared
« on: January 04, 2022, 01:35:36 am »
Apologies if this is in the wrong section. Just looking for a bit of advice on our predicament.

So our forum only has one admin, the original forum creator. But they haven’t logged in or responded to anyones messages in well over a year. We definitely need an admin to sort out thread titles etc as it is all starting to get a bit outdated and a bit messy with zero admin going on and it will only get worse as time goes on.

I’ve heard of other forum providers that will hand over admin to a long serving forum member if the original admin/owner is inactive and uncontactable for a sustained/long period of time, but can’t find if that’s the case on createaforum.

As it currently stands the general consensus amongst our forum community is that we are going to have to make an entirely new forum from scratch, but that would be a great shame as we would lose all of our threads/content. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

It would require a new forum. If there is no other admin on the forum. Gets too messy with ownership/privacy issues.

That’s what I had feared. Makes sense though. Thank you for your quick response. Appreciated.
