Forum URL: theveterans.boards.netHi, I asked a question about taking over our forum about a month ago, we got around our original problem by getting one of the board admin to grant me admin rights on the board as you said that the original owner was still active as he had logged on to the board within 30 days, since then the original owner has left the clan and deleted himself from the forum completely, we now have no means of contacting him through the forum, are we ok to keep using the forum as it effectively has no owner now. All decisions about the forum, who can join, what gets posted, and how we run the clan now fall to me as commanding officer

It is not possible to delete the owner/main admin account (user no. 1) without deleting the forum, so I recommend you try contact him by PM.

It's not possible, he deleted all his details, if I type his name in under members it says no members found, unfortunately even if I could send a message it will probably be ignored, all the other messages sent to him while he was still a member by myself and other members have been ignored, he just seemed to lose interest in the clan, which is the reason he is no longer a member, which was his choice, no one made him leave, completely the opposite in fact. My reason for asking is if for some reason proboards needed to get in touch with us about the forum and they went through him they would not get through or he will ignore anything sent to him and we would never know about it until it was too late.

This should be the link to the original admin's profile. www.theveterans.boards.net/user/1If you are also an administrator, you might be able to see his email address to contact him outside of the forum.

Interesting that link goes to a profile named admin marked discharged, but I believe the E: Mail address is that of the clan founder who retired long ago, so it seems my predecessor is not the owner of the forum, which is fine because the founder does login from time to time and he would let us know if anyone contacted him regarding the forum, thank you for that link, I am still learning the ropes regarding this forum, and that information was very useful

theehighwayman, the "discharged" you see is the name of the member group the forum owner added his account to. It shouldn't affect your ability to send them a PM. Additionally I should note that records show that the forum owner has been on line within the past day.

Additionally I should note that records show that the forum owner has been on line within the past day. Scott, my name is Mike. I am the ACTUAL commander of The Veterans Gaming Clan and the actual forum administrator.
Thee Highwayman and another now former member have staged what could be effectively called a coup. Fortunately, I left myself a back door access account to our forum and with the help of some of our long standing membership, I have been able to resume my duties.
Unfortunately, my original forum account and another key members account have been deleted. Is there any way to recover those two accounts?
