@Akinfeev2700
Good morning, do you have access to the Founders Tools ?
You can try to restore your forum with a backup.

hello, good night i'm not the founder anymore i'm like a why i carry the forum on my back it was very important for the brazilian community the founder disappeared abandoned the forum i already tried to contact him by whatsapp, facebook and nothing he deleted his facebook people have been sending me a lot of messages in private asking for the return of the topics they posted and others have nowhere else to download resources for MTA DayZ because MTA-Z was the only forum worldwide with all resources and because of a hacker everything went down the drain i need a definitive solution on the part of the Forumotion team. I await some solution

Sorry, but we can not help you with this issue. Only the flounder has the access to do a backup. Also if the founder was the one that deleted everything, he/she has the right to so whatever with his/hers forum. If the founder has been gone from the forum for 6 months and 1 day, you can try to take over the ownership of the forum.

it was not the founder who deleted it, but a hacker who invaded my computer in order to delete all topics from the forum, I would like to assume the position of founder because the original founder disappeared from the map and did not give news and it is serious the guy deleted the facebook, I saw a music site where he is a user I saw activity there but it is not possible to contact him, it has been 12 months since he appeared

Wait a minute! Do you mean deleted all the topics by you?

by **SLGray** December 13th 2020, 5:40 am

Also why would a hacker touch a forum that you are a member of. If your computer was hacked, the hacker would have done other things to your PC, not forums.

I don't know if you know, friend more this was the victim of several hacking attempts the owner explained this situation the day I became an administrator why they wanted to steal the forum to sell or just to show that he is a good hacker I think I ended up falling trap of one of them and clicked on a link of them and already formatted the Computer they as they saw deleted all topics, I request the restoration immediately

We can't backup your forum until you become the founder or the founder of the forum comes to us with data we need to help more.

Hello,

The ticket I made requesting the forum be transferred to you has been marked completed by our team. A new password that you can use to access the founder account has been sent to your email. Can you please check your email (including your spam folder) and confirm you got this email?
