Here is the situation:

I am in the only one posting in this Abandoned Forum ?

The Forum: Milwaukee Road 261
For a Great 4-8-4 Steam Locomotive

This Forum appears to be running on auto-pilot
The forum was started by Admin Fri Oct 03, 2008 7:55 pm
The last post-contact was Mon May 10, 2010 1:45 pm

I have tried to contact by email address ? and PM
No response

If there is no longer an interest in running or operating this forum
I would like to assume ownership and start it up renew its activity
on a larger scale.

Your HELP suggestions would be appreciated

Yes that is the forum I am referring to: https://milwaukee261site.board-directory.net/
You can use that as a link - on the banner bar click on Membership and it will reveal the answers of date of joining 2008-10-01
and the status of the other ( Cool

members
I only have Member status - no Moderator Administrator or other function.
I am trying to resurrect an almost dead forum of 11 years.
I have from time to time posted the activities of that organization
but I feel the need to be an administrator to be effective in that change

Obviously that 6 month and day rule has come and gone
