Missing Admin

[sackospuds]

Hi Support

Our forum is gbdressageforum.boards.net

Please could we look at appointing a new admin please, the forum was created on 31st October 2017. Our creator hasn't visited us since 1st Oct 2018, so nearly a year.

We do have a Mod, but they are going through some things in RL so only pop in every few days, and they don't think they were set up correctly so are unable to do much to admin the forum.
gbdressageforum.boards.net/thread/1631/indychick

We are an active group, with threads being created all the time and over 1000 members.

We have recently come across the issue of storage space, one of our members asked about this here the other day, but it's highlighted to the membership that we are rudderless and we need an admin. There is even talk of abandoning our current forum and creating another, which is very sad.

I am expressing an interest in becoming an additional admin for the group, leaving the creator and moderator in place as well.

Hello,

Welcome to ProBoards Support. ProBoards does have a procedure in place for admin succession in cases of absent admins. The staff will be online after 5PM GMT and able to look into your specific case to see if anything can be done. In the meantime, this post contains some useful information about the process.

Thank you for this, I was wondering what time I would be likely to get a response.

Thank you for the info, I'm hoping for a response in favour, as there are a couple of threads that are getting out of hand now that the newer members have been made aware that there is no admin.

I think it would be a good idea for you to have links to those threads ready for a ProBoards Admin. If you don't want to post them in public, you might wait for one of the reds to invite you to PM them with the details.

Thank you, yes I'm not going to post these threads publicly, and there are no threats of violence or anything like that, but they could do with closing down, and maybe some members reminding of their manners.
