Obtaining the Founder account of an inactive forum?

Weeeeeeell, where to starttttttt......

I guess I'll just type and see how this goes. Well, here's the situation.

There was this forum. On this forum, the Webmaster declared that he would not be involved [Yes, this includes logging on the site] anymore. Yet, he decided to retain the Webmaster position.

So, we [the Administrators] decided that we would move the site, which we did. We have been moved for quite some time now, at least since last November or December.

So, on the old forum, everything has been deleted and it's basically empty. nothing's going on there. So, my question is this "Is it possible for the founder account to be given to me since the forum has gone completely inactive?" I've read your topic explaining how it is transferred, but my situation is not really the norm. A couple admins, even the Webmaster have logged on within the past six months, but if you take a look at the site, you can surely see nothing is going on there. If you can somehow pull up deleted posts from forums, you would also see that the last post on the forum was made sometime in 2010.

Is it possible and if so, what steps would I take in doing this?

what is the forum link ?

Thank you. Perhaps this link might help: https://help.forumotion.com/t81878-recovery-or-change-founder-of-an-account

I've already read that which is why I proceeded to make this topic - that and the fact that apparently, I could not send anyone a PM without having any posts. Lol.

My situation does not perfectly fit into your 3 described categories under which a person may acquire the founder account. Yet, the site has been inactive for longer than 6 months...and is not wanted by anyone.

As of now, the site just exists.

So, I'm wondering how I go about obtaining the founder account? Still the same way described in the link you posted?

You will need to talk with the founder of the site about this issue. We are unable to assist you in this area.
