Anyway our forum and members originated from an older forum not of Forumotion. None of us current members owned it, but it was hit hard by some kind of redirecting link, which directed to male medicine. I won't get into detail, but the forum was completely trashed.
Those of us who could still stay in contact did and moved over to several different forums, one being in a FanFiction.Net forum (which wasn't very liked) until we came to create a forum from Forumotion.
Our original admin became inactive after he made our first forum. He appointed none of us admin or moderator statuses. Afraid that something may happen eventually and without any of us with power, I created another forum for us to move to.
That was like three years ago or something. Anyway this previous admin of ours came back eventually to our newer forum. We asked him to take down our older Forumotion site, which he never got around to and eventually went MIA again.
He was never around for the old site either and it was just now that I learned that we could had filed a complaint about inactivity of Admins after a six month period. It's too late for that now as we've made another forum.
The problem though is that this older site is completely dead and inactive, but our newer version is not. This becomes a problem as Google and other search engine searches detect the older site before our newer one.
I've counteracted that by posting a "We have moved" kind of thread in every category on the older site, but that's somewhat inconvenient for us and guests/members. By the time they get to the first forum, they probably won't even want to bother hopping by to our current forum.
Thank you for any information and I apologize if this sort of thing isn't allowed. I did do some searching, but couldn't find much regarding our exact situation.)
