Administrator has deleted our forum

[jingernut]

I am co-administrator (along with about 5 other people) of a forum through forumotion.

The administrator who set up the forum has decided he has had enough and deleted the forum with no warning whatsoever.

He was the only admin who had access to the founder details.

Is there anything we can do to get back into the forum or retrieve the data that was there.

We have over 3000 members on the forum and were one of the top UK military aircraft forums.

Any help is greatly appreciated as you can probably understand we have a lot of very unhappy members!

The forum address was http://fightercontrol.forumotion.com

I believe that one of our other admins has not placed something on that address as to stop the old admin who's deleted the forum from setting something nasty up on there.

Thanks for any help / info / advice on this.

There is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

1. They can delete it any time they please
2. A warning is not necessary
3. The forum hasn't really been deleted, just closed:

We do fully intend on having the forum back up and running for you as soon as possible, we appreciate your patience during this time.

That was taken off from the redirect site.
4. No matter what you do, the founder can do whatever, you can't block him or do stuff to make sure he can't access it, they can delete it even without entering the site.

Yeah I put the message onto our website and one of the other admins got hold of the fightercontrol.forumotion.com name before the rogue admin could put a deflamatory site there after he deleted it.

Well in that case, there is nothing really you can do about it. Sorry, but you will need to contact the founder.

[jingernut]

He's not replying to anyones emails.

Oh well.

Have to start again!

Since this thread appears to be solved, I will lock this thread and mark it as solved.
