admin gone awol on my board

Forum URL: cicada3301.boards.net

Hi,
I'm a main contributer to the above board, (its not very active, but full of my detailed notes).
Thing is, there is no admin, well the person who was admin has not been seen for years.
In the case of admins gone awol is it possible for someone else to gain control of a board?
If so how can i start that process off?

Apologies if i should have found the answer to this via some FAQ or other post, and many thanks for any help you can give,

M.

Hi,

I think the best step would be simply making a new forum, there isn't a lot of content on this forum and it appears to be throughly spammed.

Hi,

Thanks for the really quick response, we could do as you suggest that as a last resort.

But, first let me try my sob story: 

The thing is we also run the cicada/ sub-reddit, wikia pages, irc and ~1000 member discord server, where we cross link lots of stuff including that board, our preference would be to keep all those links active. 

If there is no real option but to wait for the admin to return or move it, then so be it - but i thought i would try one last time.

many thanks again for your help,

M.
