Description of problem

as of February 19, 2015 at 6:05 PM (EST), the founder of the forum decided to delete the forum. however, he did not contact any of the administrators if they wanted to run it instead. I was an administrator on that forum and would like to run it as the founder. Is there any way to restore the forum so i can get information off of it or make me the new founder? if so, that would be fantastic.

The founder can do whatever with his/hers forum. Only the founder can restore the forum.

Unforunatelly not, here on Forumotion all the power is given to the Founder (forum creator). Even if you are an Administrator, if the Founder chooses to delete the forum he can, the only way to get it back is to convince the Founder to come on here and request it be restored. Other then that, no there is nothing you can really do, except create a new forum yourself as the Founder. Sorry man. Sad
