Forum Deleted?

by Pendo January 19th 2013, 4:55 am

I owned a forum a while back, the link was http://narutold.forumotion.com/ It was pretty successful and I had even been given a free domain name from forumotion. However, I left it for a while and when I tried to get back on today it was nowhere to be found. From any domain. I searched and searched and could not find it. I also forgot what email I used to create it. So I'm on here to ask, was it deleted by a hacker or by Forumotion? Or how would I know? And if someone who works with Forumotion is reading this, is there a way you can check?

The forum still exists.

No, it doesn't. I created a new one with the same domain.

Sorry, but I don't think I can find out the details then.
However, whats the point since you already created a new forum on that same domain name.

The link you posted loads a forum.

Well, I just wanted to know why my forum was deleted. Is there no way of knowing if it was deleted by Forumotion or not? It's partially out of curiosity but I also want to know if I was not secure enough with my last forum.

If at all we can know, Leeloo can tell us. She is not available until Monday.

Read that, how someone can takeover a forum if you are unavailable for say 6 months. Then the user can delete the forum.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. That might have been what happened. I think that's a VERY strange rule but okay. Haha.
