Admin disappearance for years

Hi. This forum Admin just disappeared for much years, and I'm a Moderator (Mauricio) . Probably, the last one from old times. I haven't much time to admin or even moderate the forum. Could the ProBoards Support Staff  pass the Admin powers to a user? Her account is Mermaid.  Thanks in advance.

At te,

Mauricio

I can vouch for this also, i was the original creator / founder of this Alvey Anglers Forum, Mauricio is one of my moderators still active on the forum for the last 6 yrs trying to find a way to get Admin control back to me or member Mermaid.

We are unable to contact the member Fish-Dan that was my moderator & then i given Admin control to, only to have him Ban me soon after hand over & muck up the forum like a sick joke & then leave the forum for dead, that was more than 6 yrs ago & he is never to be contacted again "Help Us Out" Pro-Boards staff. 

Can i be re-instated as Admin again or member Mermaid, as this is a plea for help from the existing moderator above & members of the Alvey Anglers Forum for help to restore Admin control of this forum to me or member Mermaid. 

from
Fish-Hunter - former creator / owner of the Alvey Anglers Forum.

Out of curiosity, did you officially transfer ownership to this person here on ProBoards Support, or did you just give them the password to the admin account?

If the latter: a) please note that it's against the ProBoards Terms of Service to share accounts, and b) the forum is still yours provided you have access to the email used to originally create the forum. If you haven't already done so, create an account on this forum using that email (or change the email on the account you have to match) and a PB admin can help during business hours (Mon-Fri, 8am to 5pm pacific / -8 gmt)

If you officially transferred the forum, though, it's a bit more tricky since they've disappeared & banned you, and a PB admin will have to look into it during the aforementioned business hours.

I did the official transfer & with assistance of Pro-Boards staff, i was then a Co-admin, surely there's a record of this & of me being original owner / creator of forum. 


I was unable to Admin the forum, so given it to my then moderator Fishin-Dan, he soon after hand over taken away my Co-Admin & Banned me, then left the forum in a mess to never be seen or heard of again. 

I don't have the original gmail email i created forum with, as i changed it long ago to my current gmail address, what we are trying to do, with the tiny member & moderator that is left there Mauricio ( he been the moderator  that i en-stated for over 6 yrs) we are asking for Pro-Boards staff to help return me forum to me again or make member Mermaid Admin. 

As i dont have original creator email, the few members & moderator on the forum are trying to ask for help here & asking to reinstate me or member Mermaid as Admin, so we can have the forum back with an Admin. 

Please Help, there must be a way out of this beyond the original gmail user account.

Here's a postt we are talking about this on the Alvey forum - alveyanglersforum.proboards.com/post/28103/thread

I understand (and understood previously) what you were trying to do; generally speaking once a transfer is officially done a former owner has no claim on the forum, which is why I was asking which route you took.

HOWEVER, this is a particularly unique circumstance as I haven't personally seen an admin asking for ownership back due to the replacement falling inactive. Because of that, I've reached the limit of the information I can provide as a volunteer. Hang tight for a PB admin to check in during the business hours I previously posted and they can speak more to what they can or cannot do.

Good luck!

Hi. Is needed to say that the last Admin really just disappeared for years. And he did let the Forum with no head. I am one of the last Moderators still active. Its a pitty this nice Forum run without an Admin.  So, I ask to, at least and if not possible my last plea, do pass the Admin powers to me.

At te,

Mauricio

Proboards staff can you help with our request?

Hi,

It looks like the admin was online just recently? This thread may have caught their attention or maybe someone got ahold of them. Either way I hope this resolves the problem and if the admin would like to transfer the forum, please direct them here to do so!

NOTED, a PM has been made to Admin. Thanks.
