    Hello @test1

    Sadly we do not delete / or help with public account's we only have the tools for founders / Owners account's

    So i am really sorry but we can not help you with your problem you will need to try and get hold of the founder / admin/ staff member of that forum.

    I see!
    I actually just recovered my member account for the forum thanks to help from a friend.
    Seeing as how the founder / mods haven't been active at all for years is it possible to get the account changed over to someone new?

    I see...
    How would this work in cases where even the admins of the website have also been gone for 6+ months?

    It is usually decided on a case by case basis. If there is any moderators or forum staff active who wish to take it over generally they have an easier time getting it transferred.

    It is possible in some cases where the forum is very small and not that active that a normal member can get the forum ownership transferred to them.

    What I would suggest to do is to put the request in by sending the required info to a Manager or Admin, we will make a ticket on it and it will be up to the pro staff at the main office to make the final decision on whether to grant it or not and go from there.

    You did not have to erase your post. Why did you do it?

    @SLGray for privacy reasons mostly, (I apologize for the direct tag, though you did ask specifically)
    I'm going through the process of minimizing my digital footprint and would rather have my comments deleted or edited, as I do also plan on eventually deleting my support account ^^;
    I thank you all for your understanding in the matter however!

    @Ape
    Nostalgia reasons, and if anything I can give the information to a friend. Plus, asking my questions in one go may help other people who have similar questions if they bother to look!

    I'm marking this thread as solved now however, and I wish you all the best
