Until now we used a forum for roleplaying purposes of a browsergame.
The problem is that there is just the owner and one admin.
Hence we already created another forum and now a user told us that we could try to ask for ownership for the old forum... so yeah, maybe work for nothing, but we shall see.

The owner is gone since... I dunno. Though we cannot see how long he is absent since he hides his online status.
The admin is absent as well. Basically since the founder quit the game quite some time ago and the admin quit the game about two months ago, I think.

Now in the recovery options, there is always a need for an admin to agree. Is there a way to solve this or do we need to change to a new forum?

As you can see there, we would rather stay if possible. Though until now we thought we had no other option.

And to the new forum, already quite some members transfered to there as you can see here: https://sring.forumgamers.net/memberlist

If that helps a bit...

Printing screen list of special users (in the admin panel, tab "User & Groups" then left, "special users")

The founder must be absent for at least six months and one day. The last connection should go back to that date. (Any application with an absence of less than six months & one day will not be processed.)
If there are other administrators or moderators you must provide written agreement stating that they accept that you take the status of the founder. (This agreement should be written as a message on the forum by each member concerned, otherwise it will not be valid.) You can use a poll for example or open a topic on the forum.

From there, if all the above conditions are met, you must provide:

The URL forum concerned with the recovery.
Screenshot  Profile of the founder (public profile, visible to all members and if the Advanced Profile is activated, screen printing is desired that the tab "Statistics") showing the last visit of the founder (with the format of the date indicating the year: Profile -> Preferences -> Date Format).
Printing screen list of special users (in the admin panel, tab "User & Groups" then left, "special users")
Printing screen or a link to a story accessible to guests gathering the various written agreements obtained beforehand.
A new Email address never registered on any forum to be able to make the changes for the founder account.
