Forum URL: dmscraft.proboards.comThis forum is dedicated to crafting model scenery for use in tabletop role playing games. It was created by a man known as DM Scotty. Scotty may not have been the original administrator for the crafting forum. He later gave some members administrative rights and privileges. DM Scotty, the original Administrator, and those who subsequently were given Admin privileges, have all abandoned the crafting forum for more than 12 months, to my knowledge, likely more than two years. The forum is a cornucopia of information. Its members consider it to be a gold mine of information, which we do not wish to lose! Years ago, DM Scotty's forum existed on a different host service. He moved it to Proboards, and the members took great effort to transfer the information from the old forum to Proboards! It was a monumental effort. Here is the short version: is there any way for me to become the Administrator of the DMsCraft Proboards forum? I have been a member in good standing, since he moved it here. I continue to post, and I continue to keep it alive. I, and the other members, wish to keep it alive and thriving. It is becoming a target for spammers. We need an Admin to police the site. Please advise. Thank you.

It's possible, but to levelset expectations each case of this nature is viewed individually as all circumstances have their own contexts and complications.
I will say that you should be prepared to receive "no" for an answer; that might not actually be the answer, but it's better to prepare for that possibility than to not.
A PB admin will be able to review your specific circumstances when they return to work. Office hours are M-F, 9am-5pm pacific (-8gmt).
Good luck!

Thank you, Kami. I have very low expectations for my request. I have no other ideas/options, so this is my 'Hail Mary' play... They rarely succeed, but sometimes, you do get incredibly lucky. Cheers!

It is becoming a target for spammers. Hi sgtslagIf you click the Post Options icon associated with a post, there is a Report Post option. You can report the spam posts and there will be a record of those reports on that forum's Admin panel, then the ProBoards Admins will be able to easily locate the offending posts. I reckon they'll be glad to remove all the spam posts, at least as a temporary measure. They'll evaluate the particular situation for that forum and determine if other measures are appropriate. Stay tuned for further advice and information when the ProBoards Admins are online today.

sgtslag, the administrator you referred to (dmscotty) has signed in to the forum as recent as January of this year, therefore this would not classify him as abandoning the forum. I would recommend reaching out to him regarding your concerns. Who knows, perhaps he may welcome the assistance in administering the forum. Also I cleared the spam that had been reported in the manner Retread posted about above. Should you encounter additional spam on the forum please use the Report Post feature. If forum staff do not remove the spam, let us know and we can review the reported posts of the forum.

Thank you. I will reach out to DM Scotty, now that I know he has not abandoned the forum, as we thought. I will bookmark this page, so that I can follow up with your staff, if it is ever necessary. Cheers!
